Answer: The sentence that does not contain an antecedent is "Adela and Geraldo went to the movies".
Explanation: An antecedent is the word or phrase that a pronoun refers to in a sentence. Although this pronoun is generally found after the antecedent, it can also come before the antecedent. The only sentence among the options that does not include an antecedent is the first one ("Adela and Geraldo went to the movies") since, unlike the other sentences, it does not include any type of pronoun.
(b)He thinks white people are only interested in making money for themselves by exploitation. <<<<
(c)He thinks the Farquars have always treated him unfairly, so he is taking his revenge with the medicine.
(d)He thinks that the scientists that the Farquars respect are fakes without religion or morality.
I'm between b and c..
The correct answer is the following: option B. Gideon thinks that white people are only interested in making money for themselves by exploitation. This belief prevents him from sharing his people's knowledge with the Farquars.
"No Witchcraft for Sale" is a short story written by Dori Lessing first published in 1951. It tells the story of an African American cook called Gideon and his relationship with the white family he works for. Gideon had always had a close relationship with the family;s young son, named Teddy. But once Teddy starts to grow, his attitude towards Gideon changes, and he starts to act like the majority of white people. He believes that Gideon must obey him no matter what. When Teddy is bitten by a snake and his eyes are in danger, Gideon uses medicinal plants to save him. Later on he is inquired byabout his knowledge by the Farquars and other scientists. But Gideon decides to stay true to his heritage, and he does not share his knowledge with them, as he believes they are just using him to gain money.
Answer:
The belief that prevents Gideon from sharing his people's knowledge with the Farquars is:
(b)He thinks white people are only interested in making money for themselves by exploitation.
Explanation:
The Farquars are a family living in South Africa and Gideon is their native cook in Doris Lessing's short story "No Witchcraft for Sale". Gideon uses his knowledge of healing plants to prevent Teddy Farquar from getting blind after a snake spit in his eyes. However, when a scientist comes to their home and asks to be shown the miraculous plant, Gideon feels betrayed by the family.
He does not understand the family does not care about the possible money to be made from this. In truth, when they are told about the money by the scientist, the Farquars are annoyed. All they wanted was to help others the way Gideon helped their son. But, to Gideon, white people only care about money, selling what has been passed on from generation to generation. There is prejudice from both sides: The Farquars see Gideon as their inferior and are unable to understand his stubbornness; Gideon sees white people as greedy beings who only care about exploiting others.
In the end, he does not reveal which plant it is that did the trick. Still, he and the family go back to their original relationship, caring about and respecting one another.

The answer to your question would be that 14 is correct because it does not require a comma. The sentence is a clear example of the use of cumulative adjectives. Cumulative adjectives don't separately modify the noun that follows even though they are stacked up before the noun. That fact is that the adjective before the noun pairs with the noun as a unit, and then the adjective before that unit modifies that.
Sentence 15 is correct because it does not require a comma either because of the same reason (the use of cumulative adjectives). As regards sentence 16, it can be said that it is incorrect because it does requiere a comma since the prepositional phrase "in Colonial America" is an introductory phrase.

Recently our school decided to get involved in environmental causes. This effort began within the school itself, in an event called "Effect of pollution on quality of life," which showed students how pollution has been harmful and how it should be resolved as quickly as possible.
By observing all the photos and comments about the event, which has been taking over the entire school throughout the week, we can see that the event was a success, as it managed to make the entire school staff and all members of the school recognize that combating pollution is essential and must be taken on by us, ordinary teenagers who will experience the results of environmental destruction in the not-too-distant future.
I believe that the greatest proof of the success of this event has been the formation of groups within the school, which are organizing to promote beach cleaning, selective collection, environmental education in their communities, among other ways to help nature to get rid of pollution.
This is a small step to make our students more aware, but it is a big step to create a cleaner and more comfortable future where we will all be greatly favored.
