Select the correct word to complete the sentence (Use the American version.). The herd of antelope _____ the river when the leader gives the signal. cross crosses

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: The herd of antelope crosses the river when the leader gives the signal.

Explanation:

  • "Herd" is a collective noun.
  • Collective nouns are nouns that stand for a whole group as a single entity. These nouns are singular nouns.
  • Apart from herd, some other collective nouns are team, flock, pack, set, etc.
  • In this case, as the word "herd" is treated as singular, the correct verb form we will use is "crosses" (present simple tense of the verb "to cross", in third person singular)

What is the difference between a synecdoche and a metonymy?

Answers

Synecdoche refers to a thing and its parts. The best example is the use of the word “wheel” instead of “car”. As we know, a wheel is a car part. 

On the other hand, metonymy refers to a thing that is very much related to another thing. The easiest example we can use here is the word “crown” when used in some literature pieces means power.

Which information would best be shown on a bar graph?A) The amount of money raised by each class in a bake sale

B) The change in the amount of money spent by teens over the last five years

C) The percentage of students participating in various school clubs

D) How many more students ride the bus now than in 1990

Answers

A would be the best answer.

Letter B and D could also be read on a bar graph, however not so intuitively. They both are interested in differences - data that could be obtained by taking subtracting the values of one column from another. While bar graphs should be used to show measurable pure values (amounts).

Letter C graph would be best shown in other types of graphs, more ideal for percentages. Like a pizza graph, for example.
A would be the best information because you have distinct y and x values. Money and different classes.
