Answer 2
Answer:

Answer: D)"If the fountain gushed at my very doorstep, I would not stoop to bathe my lips in it; no, though its delirium were for years instead of moments."

The most likely answer would be D. Dr. Heidegger is talking about the "water of youth" (or fountain of youth) and he explains that even if the fountain were right at his doorstep, he would not drink from it. This shows enormous will-power and strength. Therefore, these lines are the ones that better represent wisdom and reason.

has
have

Answers

Answer:

Neither the cars nor the trucks have new tires.

Explanation:

Neither used as a conjunction with nor connects two or more negative alternatives, usually in formal English. In this case, for the sake of number agreement, the correct option is have, because both subjects -cars and trucks- are plural.

Neither the cars nor the trucks have new tires. This is because cars and trucks are plural in form and must have auxiliary verbs.
