Which scenario illustrates the gambler's fallacy: assuming that what typically happens in the long run will not happen in the short run?Every time Jonas plays poker, he wins. He knows how lucky he is, so he buys a lottery ticket every week.

The probability of winning the lottery is one in a million, so to improve his chances, Jonas buys 100 lottery tickets.

Jonas has been buying lottery tickets for years now and has never won, so he is bound to win some time soon.

Jonas won $5,000 the first time he bought a lottery ticket, so he has been buying lottery tickets for years now.

Choose the verb that best agrees with the subject.Bananas (grow/grows) best in warm, moist climates.
a. grow
b. grows

Answers

Answer:

a. grow

Explanation:

The subject-verb agreement defines the agreement made between the verb and the noun in the given sentence. It means that the verb and the noun have to agree in number with each other in a given sentence. If the subject in the sentence is singular, the verb needs to be singular too. Likewise, when the subject in the sentence is plural, the verb needs to be plural too. In the above sentence, the subject 'bananas' is plural in number, therefore, the verb 'grow' will be in the plural too.
Grow. The noun is plural

What poetic device is illustrated by the line, “. . . all night long, by a fire-fly lamp”? A. assonance B. alliteration C. consonance D. personification

Answers

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is letter A. assonance.

Explanation:

Assonance is a literary device that consists of repeating a vowel sound in words that are close in position to each other and begin with different consonants. That is precisely what we have in "...all night long, by a fire-fly lamp." Study the phonetic transcription below:

ɔl naɪt lɔŋ, baɪ ə ˈfaɪər-flaɪ læmp

We can see there are two vowel sounds being repeated in close words: / ɔ / for all and long, and / aɪ / for night, fire, and fly (separated here just to illustrate our point). These words, even though having the same vowel sounds and being located close to each other in the sentence, begin with different consonants. All those characteristics constitute assonance.

Answer: The answer is alliteration B.

Explanation: the sound I /ai/ is present in adjacent connected words. Explanation: alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.

A family drove 1/5 of the total distance to the coast on the first day. They drove 2/5 more of the distance to the coast on the second day. How much of the total distance had the family traveled on the two days? A. 2/25 B. 3/10 C. 3/5 D. 1/5

Answers

Your answer is c. 3/5. You just add 2/5 and 1/5 together (your denominator never changes when you are adding the same denominator). You would basically just do 2 + 1=3
travel distance on first day - 1/5 (0.2)
travel distance on second day - 2/5 (0.4)
total distance traveled on two days - 1/5+2/5 (or) 0.2+0.4

1/5+2/5 (or) 0.2+0.4
[as the two denominators are same we can just add the numerators]
3/5 (or) 0.6

Therefore, the family traveled 3/5 (0.6) on two days. So the answer is C. 3/5

The following sentence may have a error, choose the best revision. If no required revision, choose "no improvements or correction is required."There are not too many breeds of dog that were more friendly than the Labrador.

A. That are more friendlier than the Labrador
B. That are friendlier than the Labrador.
C. That were friendlier than the Labrador
D. That were more friendlier than the Labrador
E. No improvement or correction is required

Answers

There are not too many breeds of dog that are friendlier than the Labrador (B).

Since we are comparing all breeds of dogs to the labrador, we need to use a comparative adjective. If we were saying that Labradors are the friendliest breed of dogs, this would be the superlative. In the comparative, we have to add -er to the verb if it is one or two syllables long. We add more when it is three or more syllables long. Since friendly is only two syllables, we need to change "more friendly" to "friendlier." Also, it does not make since to use the past tense, so we need to change were to are.
