. Read the sentence. When doing laundry, check that the water level has rose above the top of the clothes. What revision is needed in this sentence? Replace rose with rised Replace rose with risen. Replace has rose with have rose Replace has rose with had been rising.

Answers

The answer to your question would be that the revision that is needed in the sentence is to replace rose with risen. That is, the sentence would be as follows: When doing laundry, check that the water level has risen above the top of the clothes.

"To rise" is an irregular verb, so its past participle is not formed by adding the suffix -ed, but it is another word. "Rose" is the past simple form and "risen" the past participle one.

Your answer would be Risen

What does Seattle say about integrating white and Native American cultures?A. It will happen naturally when the railroads open the West to the whites.
B. It will be impossible, because the two traditions are too different.
C. It can be prevented only if the tribes unite to fight the whites.
D. It's going to be difficult, but it's the only way both cultures can survive.

Answers

I think the correct answer is D. Because, of course, every integration is difficult in the beginning, but as time goes by, it gets easier, and it is the only way both cultures can survive. If they don't succeed in integrating, this will inevitably lead to a war in which many people, if not a whole culture, will be annihilated.
