Other forms of purpose usually fall under one of these. Examining the details of the text, for example, the type of language used and any accompanying images will help a reader work out the author's purpose.

b. follow the judge's order
c. may agree or disagree

Answers

According to Florida's implied consent law, signing an application for a driver license signifies that you agree to take a test of your blood, breath, or urine for the presence of alcohol or drugs. The correct answer is A. Once you sign the application, you have already given your consent that a police officer can ask you to do some of these things to prove that you are not driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The other answers do not really make much sense.
The answer would be "agree"

Answers

These are a lot of question on one thread but I'm going to try and answer them all. Some of the I cannot explain so you're just going to have the answers.

 

1. Felipe never had any interest in playing basketball.

 

2. happy + -ness

In this case, it's going to be happiness where you remove “y” and add “i”.

 

3. homophones.

Homophones are, for example: ate, eight.

 

4. Too much cheese isn't good for your diet.

 

5. crisis

All of the others are plural. I don't think crisis has any plural form.

 

6. fameous

It's going to be famous.

 

7.  They don’t never have chocolate.

The double negative is don't never which means: do not never

 

8. Add -s.

You just have to add s to make holiday plural. Like this: holidays.

 

9. singular

 

10. Frenzy is a synonym for fury.

 

11. Reign and rein are homophones.

 

12. Although we had tickets to the game.


13. antonyms

Meagerand ample are two opposites.

 

14. shop + -er

This way: shopp + -er = shopper.

 

15. dress’s

 

16. alliteration

In this sentence, they’re using the alphabet t repeatedly. “Tripping and trembling they traipsed through the trees.

 

17. synonyms

Remorse and regret are same or almost similar words.

 

18. Jason is scarcely well.

 

19. After the recent rainstorm, several neighbors decided to fix their leaking roofs.

 

20. The writers use the figurative language to capture the interest of their readers.

 

21. replace + -ing

Like this: replac + -ing = replacing

 

22. commit + -ment

You don’t have to double the alphabet t for the word commitment.

 

23. The figure of speech that gives objects and animals human characteristics is called simile.

Example: Sarah is as brave as a lion. In this case, Sara and lion are predicate nouns.

Any

Happiness

Homophones

Isn't

Crisis

Fameous

Change the y to i and add es.

Singular Possessive
