Explanation:

When there is more than 1  subject and more  than one verb

According to language rules, subjects and verbs must agree in of the option C: number categories.

A subject is refer to as the noun in a particular sentence and verb is defined as the action word.

The Subject-Verb agreement has to do with Concord in grammar which says that subject and verb MUST agree with each other in number which is singular or plural.

What this means is, if the subject of a sentence is singular, then the verb must be in the singular. If the subject is in the plural, then the verb must be in the plural.

For example, The dog chases the cats. Here, the verb 'chases' is in the singular, so the subject 'dog' must be in the singular.

Therefore, correct option is C.

Which lines in this excerpt from Guy de Maupassant's short story "Boule de Suif" suggest that the resistance activities of the civilians were more courageous than those of the armed soldiers?

Even the town itself resumed by degrees its ordinary aspect. The French seldom walked abroad, but the streets swarmed with Prussian soldiers. Moreover, the officers of the Blue Hussars, who arrogantly dragged their instruments of death along the pavements, seemed to hold the simple townsmen in but little more contempt than did the French cavalry officers who had drunk at the same cafes the year before. . . .

<1"The conquerors exacted money, much money."> The inhabitants paid what was asked; they were rich. But, the wealthier a Norman tradesman becomes, the more he suffers at having to part with anything that belongs to him, at having to see any portion of his substance pass into the hands of another.

<2"Nevertheless, within six or seven miles of the town, along the course of the river as it flows onward to Croisset, Dieppedalle and Biessart, boat-men and fishermen often hauled to the surface of the water the body of a German, bloated in his uniform, killed by a blow from knife or club, his head crushed by a stone, or perchance pushed from some bridge into the stream below.">

<3"The mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance."> For hatred of the foreigner ever arms a few intrepid souls, ready to die for an idea.

Answer:

"The mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance."

Explanation:

From the excerpt, the soldiers were moving about , carrying their weapons on the street which made the civilians displeased, and finally in the third option, the soldiers were attacked violently by the civilians to show their displeasure against the current system.  

Their bravery and way of attack were dangerous and showed that they were ready to die for their idea and they would do anything to become free.

The mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance.

Answer:

"Shooting an Elephant"

The Europeans are presented as imperialists who think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the natives, whom they think they dominate. The Europeans are described like masked people who have grown to resemble the masks they wear with ingrained habits and prejudices.

The Burmese are presented as idle, idiotic, and lacking the coercive power necessary to be in obvious control of their lives, especially since they have no physical weapons.  However, what they lack in physical weapons, they possess in abundance with the power of the will.  This implies that their lack of physical weapons does not make them powerless in the real sense.  They have will.  With it, they control the Europeans who weld physical power.  

I empathize mostly with the Europeans.  Their portrayal by George Orwell is very sympathetic.  By trying to impose their authority on others, they limit their ability to even control their own lives.  They must dance to the music of the crowd because of the expectations placed on them by the natives.  The same is true of all rulers who have refused to embrace leadership principles, thinking that they are in charge of the people, not realizing that it is the people that control them with their crowd expectations.

Europeans are not accepted by others.  Europeans do not accept others.  Each tribe thinks highly of themselves and belittles the others.  But, we are all human beings, created in God’s image and likeness.  The moment we overcome our prejudices, it is the same moment that we are liberated to fulfil God’s mandate, “to exercise dominion over the earth.”  This dominion is not the domination of other people, but the dominion of the elements that make up the earth, the forces, and the evils that attempt to take over the earth that God has created for the welfare of human beings.  We must collaborate, cherish each other, and find joy in our diversity as humans.  We must act together in love.  Conclusively, George Orwell’s observation is true of all human beings, “when the white man (read, “any class of humanity”) turns tyrant, it is his own freedom that he destroys.”

Explanation:

George Orwell's 1936 short story titled: "Shooting an Elephant" describes his experiences as a police officer in Burma.  In it, he denounces British imperialism as lacking common sense.  Europeans are made a laughing stock of by the natives they try to rule.  According to George Orwell, Imperialism and colonialism are evil as no good has come from the imposition of another's will on others.

Answer and Explanation:

Anne Bradstreet was born Anne Dudley was born in England in 1612. After moving to the American Colonies and marrying Simon Bradstreet she began the first author to be published in North America. Her puritanical upbringing heavily influenced her writings and especially her poetry about her love for her husband. Bradstreet's "To My Dear and Loving Husband" is probably the best example. On the surface, the poem seems to be a rather basic expression of a woman's love for her husband. It contains imagery of flowing rivers quenching the fires of love as well as the idea that her love for her husband makes her richer than the gold of exotic places. It reads much like Shakespeare's "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?" but actually on a deeper level asks a far more existential question about her own morality and mortality. In Puritan communities, a man's purpose was to contemplate his relationship with God and ponder his eternal life. In Bradstreet's life, she was very concerned that her passionate feelings for her husband were at odds with the teachings of her faith. In the final lines of the poem, she ponders whether she will be given life eternal within the bonds of her marriage.

Answer:

The word "Pretty' as used in this context is an adjective.

Explanation:

Recall that an adjective is a word that modifies or describes a noun in a sentence.

It is used to describe the attributes of a noun. An example of an adjective is

John saw a beautiful lady yesterday.

Here, the adjective here is beautiful and it modifies the noun 'lady'

An adverb, however, shows the degree or extent of something by modifying a verb, adjective, determiner in a sentence.

An example is

The tortoise walked slowly

Here, the adverb here is slowly as it shows how the tortoise walked.

Therefore, the word "pretty'' in the given sentence is an adjective as it describes the noun 'mare'.

Answer:

The 'to' is part of the infinitive verb form. It is not a preposition.

Explanation:

Answer:

3. Rivers still provide viable routes for shipping, but it is no longer the most feasible method for moving materials.

Explanation:

For a sentence to have a logical transition, there must be an accurate subject-verb or subject-pronoun agreement. It as a pronoun can be used as a subject or object in a sentence. When It is used to describe a subject, the subject is usually in the singular form. For example,

1. It is a book.

The sentence, 'Books are a good source of earning, but it is going extinct' is not correct because there is no agreement between the subject which is in the plural form and the pronoun.

So the third sentence should be worded as 'Rivers still provide viable routes for shipping, but they are no longer the most feasible method for moving materials'.

The statement that uses the subordinating conjunction, and is correct in Punctuation, is - "You must finish your homework early because we have a busy night." Thus, option (D) is correct.

Punctuation is the use of markings or symbols in sentences to create an accurate and clear interpretation of the text. It is used to separate sentences at the beginning, end, or middle of the sentence.

Full stops, commas, question marks, exclamation points, colons, semicolons, apostrophes, and other punctuation marks are examples.

Subordinate conjunction refers to those words that connect the main clause with the subordinating clause in the sentence. It shows the relationship of the dependent clause.

In the above sentence, The word "because" is the subordinating clause which connects the dependent clause that is "we have a busy night". Therefore, it can be concluded that option (D) is correct.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Lourdes hadn’t bothered to study for the essay exam, joking that her motto was "fake it ‘til you make it." Now, as she stared in horror at the test booklet, the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers. What kind of figurative language is used?

a. personification

b. simile

c. metaphor

d. hyperbole

Answer:

The kind of figurative language being used is:

a. personification

Explanation:

Personification is a common figure of speech in literary works. Personification happens when an author gives living qualities to non-living things. For instance, if the speaker of a poem says that the wind and the leaves are dancing during fall, he is using personification. Wind and leaves are not humans; they do not dance. However, by saying so, the speaker makes the movements of the leaves being carried by the wind more artistic, more vivid even.

The same happens when the author of the passage we are analyzing says, "the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers." Blank pages are not beings, much less conscious beings. They cannot know anything or laugh at all. But, by phrasing it this way, the author makes it seem that Lourdes is being mocked, that her fate is quite an ironic one.

Here’s my completion of these clauses:

B. How do water striders skim across the surfaces of ponds and lakes? Their hydrophobic legs are uniquely suited to this process, but the insects

Explanation:

Below are the options given:

A. NO CHANGE

B. How do water striders skim across the surfaces of ponds and lakes? Their hydrophobic legs are uniquely suited to this process, but the insects

C. How do our bodies break down the food we consume every day? While digestion would be impossible without enzymes and other proteins, these molecules

D. How does our DNA maintain a double helical structure? While the shape of this nucleic acid is the result of many complex properties, its structures

Option B is correct because it gives a concrete, casually observable example from the natural world and thereby accomplishes the goal. It explains the connection between surface tension and electronegativity.

Option B gives an example from the natural world - the water strider.

The water striders are a good example of insects that use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs. This enables them to walk on water. Their legs are coated with a hydrophobic substance. The hydrophobic substance makes the legs to repel water molecules i.e it makes water unable to stick to their legs. This makes them to easily skim on water surfaces.

Answer:

Electronegativity is a measure of the affinity between electrons and atoms.  

When an atom exhibits greater attraction for electrons, it is said to have very high electronegativity.

Electronegativity is an inherent quality that remains constant in all the atoms of an element. Fluorine is the chemical element with the highest electronegativity.  

In nature, the most important element which whose electronegative qualities (or whose ability to bind with other atoms) make it crucial for life is Oxygen.

When we inhale air, the Oxygen is used by our bodies to convert glucose to energy and Carbon Di-Oxide is released.

Free verse is poetry without fixed patterns

Explanation:

Free verse poetry doesn't follow any rules for the lines. It is like just talking to someone, speaking of what's on your mind.

Any genre of poetry with the primary goal of criticizing an ongoing current event or scenario is considered protest poetry. This sort of poetry frequently focuses on the wrongdoings committed by a government on its citizens.

Lines that closely mimic the natural rhythms of speech, but are not metrical or rhymed. Free-verse lines may have a predictable pattern of sound or rhythm, but the poet does not follow a metrical scheme when composing them.

Poets who were affected by the civil rights movement, including as Margaret Walker, Nikki Giovanni, and June Jordan, utilized their writing.

To inspire pride in one's identity, remember slain leaders, pay tribute to freedom fighters, document acts of resistance, and civil rights give advice and support to other activists.

Therefore, There are no formal guidelines for the lines in free verse poetry. It is similar to simply speaking with someone and sharing whatever is on your mind.
