What makes the following sentence unclear? Because the shoes didn’t fit my feet, I had to throw them out.
Select one:
a. The dependent clause is incomplete.
b. Nothing. The sentence contains no errors.
c. The dependent clause modifies the wrong word.
d. There should not be a comma between the two clauses.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The dependent clause modifies the wrong word

Explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

The given sentence is unclear due to the fact that is given in option (c): "The dependent clause modifies the wrong word."

What is a dependent clause modifier?

In most cases, a dangling modifier is an elliptical clause or a phrase—a dependent clause whose subject and verb are indicated rather than expressed—that serves as an adjective but does not modify any particular word in the sentence, or (worst) modifies the incorrect word.

Dependent clauses come in three different varieties: 

Noun clauses Adjective clauses Adverbial clauses

A dependent phrase lacks a complete thought but has a subject and verb, is introduced by a subordinate conjunction, or is introduced by a relative pronoun.

A dependent clause is not an independent clause. Due to the flooding caused by the recent severe rains, for instance.

Therefore, option (C): "dependent clause" makes the sentence unclear.

Which sentence or phrase best supports the inference that Donald does not want to follow the example of Marquis?
excerpt from Deciding What is Important

"What's that?" Donald's older brother Marquis asked coming inside after an intensely competitive game of basketball with the other boys in the neighborhood.
"Homework," Donald replied with displeasure.
Marquis laughed and grabbed a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator. He opened the lid, turned the bottle upside down, and drained the sweet liquid into his mouth.
"That is so unsanitary! You should pour the juice in a glass!" Donald complained. Marquis often aggravated Donald, but this behavior was positively disgusting.
Marquis wiped his mouth with a chuckle and shifted the basketball from one arm to the other. "Homework is lame. Why don't you come out and play some ball. It'll help you relax."
Donald shook his head, "No, I need to complete this assignment." He really did want to go shoot some hoops outside, but he knew that homework had to be the priority. Marquis had dropped out of school last year and was struggling to stay employed. Their mom was angry that Marquis had acted so irresponsibly, and Donald didn't want to make her feel the same disappointment about himself.
Donald refocused his attention on the essay question again. Trying to find something to write about, he flipped through a few pages in the book, but the thumping of the ball outside and the laughing of the guys made him long to be outdoors. He rushed through the rest of his homework. Instead of rereading the chapter to help him develop his essay, Donald copied a section of the book word-for-word and put his name on his notebook paper. He knew it was akin to forgery, but he just needed 15 minutes outside.

In the story, pet owners are too scared of the crocodile to bring their sick pets to Dr. Dolittle. When SweetT read this, he made the inference that Dr. Dolittle was losing money because of the crocodile. What background knowledge BEST supports Sweett's inference?

Answers

Answer:

The previous knowledge of when he was treating humans but kept losing money because of the pets he kept in his house.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the book, the reader learns that the Doctor was first a human physician. He, however, kept a lot of pets which scared his human patients. They soon became so afraid that they stopped coming to his house to seek medical treatment. This made him begin losing so much money that his sister even complained about it.

This background history would help Sweet T infer that Dr. Dolittle was losing money because of the crocodile that scared pet owners away.

Question 4
"When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident..."

What does Lincoln mean by compensated emancipation?

a) Slaves are paid to leave slave-holding states.
b) Slave-holders are compensated for freeing slaves.
c) States are paid to increase slave-holding.

Question 5
"By general law, life and limb must be protected; →yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life,← but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether."

What lesson does President Lincoln express in the bold line?

a) Arms and legs are necessary in battle.
b) Many people have suffered unfairly.
c) It is essential to have a medical degree.
d) Sometimes sacrifices are necessary.

Answers

Answer:

Answer to 4 is B Answer to 5 is D

Explanation:

Compensate is to pay for something, and emancipate is free. The answer is therefore b, in which slave-holders are payed to release their slaves. For answer 5, Lincoln doesn't literally mean people need to lose limbs to save others lives, it is an expression and the only answer with a similar meaning is D

Directions: Write an argumentative paragraph from the point of view of a turkey and how he or she feels on Thanksgiving Day. Persuade a family or even America not to eat you. Give three reasons why the family or Americans should switch to a different type of food or skip Thanksgiving dinner altogether. Remember, this is the TURKEY that is doing the talking!

Remember in an argumentative paragraph you must have a claim (your stance on the issue), three reasons to support your claim your counterclaim (What would the other side say?), a refute (how do you attack the other side back?), and a concluding sentence. Your paragraph should have at least 8-10 sentences.

Pls do it correctly!

Answers

As a turkey, I am an avid supporter of animal rights and against the idea of celebrating thanksgiving dinner. Roasted turkey and other animals should not be eaten on a day meant to celebrate the blessings of the year. We, turkeys, should be given the right to participate in a tradition and not be discriminated against because of our species and humans' supposed superiority over animals. Animals are sentient and, thus, we are sufficient for moral status. Timothy Hisao, and many others, believe that animals have a distinctly different moral standing from humans. To this, I reply, that consciousness is a spectrum, not a black-and-white thing. The pain and suffering animals endure is close to or even JUST AS real as that felt by humans.  Others even say that because meat is "just part of the natural order", that overrides our right to live. But they are an alternative to animal meat and through innovation and cooperation between humans and animals could allow us to coexist.

Answer:

Hey! My name is Turkey and I have a question. Why on Thanksgiving, or any other time, do you eat me? I have family and friends, just like you. I have feelings and emotions, just like you. How would you feel if your loved ones were taken from family and home and never seen again? Take it from me, it's very sad but that's what I go through just for you guys to eat my family. Now, just because you may not understand me doesn't mean I'm not communicating with you. Why eat me, when there are other options such as chickens, cows and others birds? Or we can all live eating apples, carrots, corn, broccoli and other natural vegetables and fruits that come from the earth.

I understand that you may feel it's tradition but there are other ways to celebrate. And I get that eating turkey has became a normal thing in your family but new traditions are made everyday. There's a lot of things that we learned in the past that was wrong, including some of the things we chose to eat.

What if me(Turkey),Chicken,Cow and every others like us began to eat you "humans"? There will be no humans, or at least fewer, at the end. Now is the time to change your decisions of eat less animal species, such as myself, and more fruits and vegetables. Plant based isn't so bad.

45 pointsss answer both plzzz Why is privacy important? Why is lack of privacy bad?

Answers

Answer:

Privacy is important to everyone. It can keep people safe and protected, which is pretty good. It can keep credit card information and passwords safe when it comes to online privacy. In real life privacy is also just as important, as everyone deserves privacy since it is something personal. If there is a lack of privacy, bad things are almost guaranteed to happen. Thinking back to online privacy and credit card information and passwords, if such info is leaked and privacy is invaded, strangers (most likely hackers) can buy things with your credit card and take over all that you have with the use of passwords. Privacy, whether it be real life, online, or anything else, is extremely important, no matter who it is about or what it is about.

StartFraction 14 over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 7 over 3 EndFraction
StartFraction 6 over 14 EndFraction = StartFraction 7 over 3 EndFraction
StartFraction 3 over 7 EndFraction = StartFraction 14 over 6 EndFraction

Answers

Answer:

14/6=7/3 since it should be waffle cones/ sugar cones

Explanation:

Number of waffle cones sold on Monday = 14

Number of sugar cones sold on Monday = 6

So, the proportion of waffle cones to sugar cones = 14 : 6 = 7 : 3.

Number of waffle cones sold on Tuesday = 7

Number of sugar cones sold on Tuesday = 3

So, the proportion of waffle cones to sugar cones = 7 : 3.

Hence, the required proportion that can be used to represent the cone sales is 7 : 3.
