Answer 1

Answer:

Jake and Kyle went to soccer practice after Kyle cleaned his room.

Explanation:

In The Sentence, The Pronoun He Has An Ambiguous Antecedent.Jake And Kyle Went To Soccer Practice After
Answer 2

The below-provided version most successfully clarifies the meaning:

D). Jake and Kyle went to soccer practice after Kyle cleaned his room.

Antecedent

In the given sentence, the vague antecedent 'he' to refer to the plural pronoun puzzles the meaning communicated by the sentence.

This causes the need for changing it with the name of who actually undertook the action so that the ambiguity and obscurity can be erased and the meaning remains precise and clear.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Excerpt from The Junior Detective
Marie Devers
When I find a question that reguires investigation,
pull out all the stops and start my thorough speculation
I believe in accuracy, and truth for all involved,
and always staying neutral til the case is all but solved.
Each occurrence that I witness is a clue to ponder ever-
till take the case and make it my own personal endeavor.
interview each villain, and I never give an inch
I notice all the ticks, and I explore each blink and finch
I ensure each alibi is honest; check each testimony,
and I find the real exception and expose it from the phony
What can the reader infer the junio detective deduces from a villain's ticks, blinks and tinches?
that the villain is lying to the junior detective
5
that he has solved the crime and found the culprit
that the crime being investigated never really happened
that there is no needence to be found for the time

Answers

Answer:

A). that the villain is lying to the junior detective

Explanation:

The readers can deduce that the detective cross-checks every statement or testimony given by villian and also notices his/her ticks and blinks in order to identify if he/she is lying ot trying to manipulate the case. It assists the readers in understanding how detective notices every action of the villian while interviewing to dig out the real truth and ensure that the real culprit is punished and no innocent suffers punishment. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am James Smith, a resident of Aurora, Illinois, have recently ordered a smartphone - Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, from your online shop. Unfortunately, when I unwrapped the phone, I found that the phone screen was broken and the stylus was missing. I am writing to notify you of the problem and to replace my product with a fresh one.  

I placed the order on 15th May 2019 from my home and my invoice number is SAI-25478ASNE. I used my VISA credit card to pay for the order. I was looking forward to receiving the phone and start using it but when the phone finally arrived two days later, it was not in the condition it should have been. The main screen was smashed, and I could not find the stylus in the box. This is quite unexpected and as a regular customer, I am disappointed with your service.

Please inform me how can I replace the phone, as the warranty covers it, and get a fresh one as early as possible? Should I visit one of your retail shops?

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and I would like you to take the necessary measure so that it does not repeat in the future.

Yours faithfully,

James Smith

What is the meaning of The superior man thinks of virtue;the ordinary man thinks of comfort

Answers

Answer:

Confucius meant that the superior man constantly keeps his virtues in the front of his mind, and instead of opting for the “comfortable” option, which is what might feel better just for that moment, he remains steadfast towards virtue, he stays patient and humble. ... Virtue is doing the right thing.Explanation:

Answer:

Let me just use the explanation to answer.

Explanation:

This saying is about morals. Virtue, as used here, means goodness, or whether they are doing the right thing. What the speaker is saying is that it is better to do things because they are right than because they are comfortable. In simple terms the quote says:

The better man thinks of doing good things, while the normal man thinks only of his own happiness and how it is easier to not do the right thing, or to do nothing at all.

In the opening chapter of the text "their eyes were watching god" , Hurston sets up a contrast between men and women. She metaphorically says men are impractical because they chase after dreams that are unattainable; however, women are more practical as they make do with what they have. She wrote this in 1937. Do these descriptions apply to men and women in today's world? How do her observations compare and contrast to your observations and experiences?

Respond thoughtfully to this prompt with a claim, examples/observation from experience, and reasoning (CER--minimum of 6 sentences).

Answers

Answer:

Even in today's world men and women both have different levels of privilege. In the 1900s women were seen more and housewives and mother's than as people. Now let's go back farther in time when women were not allowed to read, go to school or even think for themselves, men were always able to dream bigger and go after those dreams because they could. While women had to think practical because they know they had way less of a chase of there dreams actually coming true.
