Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is B.

A short story is usually defined as a piece of literature that can be read in one sitting. For this to be achievable, it should have a lenght of no more than 1,000 words.

Answers

With her PARENTS (d) blessing, Alexandra left her job to enter law school.

Final answer:

The correct fill for the sentence is 'Parents' ', it is the plural possessive form, identifying that something (in this case, blessing) belongs to more than one parent of a particular individual (Alexandra).

Explanation:

The correct option for the given blank in the sentence is B) Parents'. This is because in this context, we are looking at a possessive scenario, where the blessing belongs to both of Alexandra's parents hence the need for the plural possessive form - 'Parents' '. The apostrophe after the 's' indicates it is something belonging to them. To illustrate further with an example - 'The family packed their suitcases for their vacation.' Here, both the suitcases and the vacation belong to the family, similar to the blessing belonging to Alexandra's parents in the sentence given.

How should a well-crafted business report begin?

Answers

It should began with you or whoever describing why your business is helpful and what reason it would be useful to others.

It is proven that many people make mistakes by starting with an bragging example instead of an argument.

Here below is an example of a bragging report being started :

"My business will rank the highest in music's industry , there will be millions and millions of people coming to sign deals with us"

- that is what you do not want to do, simply reason with em.

If I were coming to you with a business report I would start it by telling you that my new company is highly needed in the community , many people run out of "tooth paste" easily , this "tooth paste re-filler" will help them and ensure no more unnecessary trips to the store.

I hope that my examples and reason helps you highly. 
whether you've put together a business plan or an investment proposal, your going to need an executive summary to preface your report.

In which two sentences does the author use an ironic tone toward the subject? She had no dowry, no expectations, no way of being known, understood, loved, married by any rich and distinguished man; so she let herself be married to a little clerk of the Ministry of Public Instruction. Natural ingenuity, instinct for what is elegant, a supple mind are their sole hierarchy, and often make of women of the people the equals of the very greatest ladies. The girl was one of those pretty and charming young creatures who sometimes are born, as if by a slip of fate, into a family of clerks. She dressed plainly because she could not dress well, but she was unhappy as if she had really fallen from a higher station.
