Answers

Answer 1
Answer: (a) With a jump and a meow, the doorbell rang, and the kitten leaped off the couch.
Here, "with a jump and a meow" is a misplaced modifier. It modifies "the doorbell". However, this implies that the doorbell rang, then jumped and meowed. The sentence should be like this instead: "The doorbell rang and the kitten leaped off the couch with a jump and a meow." or "With a jump and a meow, the kitten leaped off the couch when the doorbell rang."

Select the sentence that does not contain an error: (3 points) The pool full of people were cool and blue. The pool full of people are cool and blue. The pool full of people was cool and blue. The pools full of people was cool and blue.

Answers

The correct answer is C. The pool full of people was cool and blue.

Explanation:

One of the elements that makes a sentence correct is that the subject (agent of the action) and the verb (action) agree in number (both are singular or plural). This factor makes sentences such as "The pool full of people were cool and blue" incorrect because the singular subject "the pool" is followed by a plural verb "were". In this context, the only correct sentence is "The pool full of people was cool and blue" because the subject and verb are both singular.

Reckless Poem

By Mary Oliver

Today again I am hardly myself.
It happens over and over.
It is heaven-sent.

It flows through me
like the blue wave.
Green leaves – you may believe this or not –
have once or twice
emerged from the tips of my fingers

somewhere
deep in the woods,
in the reckless seizure of spring.

Though, of course, I also know that other song,
the sweet passion of one-ness.

Just yesterday I watched an ant crossing a path, through the
tumbled pine needles she toiled.
And I thought: she will never live another life but this one.
And I thought: if she lives her life with all her strength
is she not wonderful and wise?
And I continued this up the miraculous pyramid of everything
until I came to myself.

And still, even in these northern woods, on these hills of sand,
I have flown from the other window of myself
to become white heron, blue whale,
red fox, hedgehog.
Oh, sometimes already my body has felt like the body of a flower!
Sometimes already my heart is a red parrot, perched
among strange, dark trees, flapping and screaming.

Argue for or against the limitation of speed limits.

Answers

Since this is an opinion question you can take it either way.

Pros:
 - lower speed may cause lower speed accidents, which are less deadly         than their high speed alternatives
 - lower speed could potentially allow people to get lost less often because        they are able to navigate and respond earlier
 - gas savings from optimal operating conditions                                            (between 88.5 - 96.5 km/h [55-60 mph])

Cons:
 - longer commute times
 - less enjoyable (if you enjoy driving fast)
 - may contribute to overall congestion and increase in accidents as              people spend more time on average on the roads

Either way, support our opinion and you'll be right.
