In sentence 10 (reproduced below), the writer wants to compare a specific difference between making pennies now and making pennies at an earlier time.
In 2001, it cost 0.79 cents to make a penny, but now, with metal costs increasing, the cost has changed in a noteworthy way.
Which of the following versions of the underlined text most effectively accomplishes this goal?
A. (as it is now)
B. the cost has soared to 1.8 cents per penny
C. economists worry that the penny is unsustainable
D. the United States Mint has looked into less expensive metals
E. the penny is made of only 2.5% copper

Answers

Answer:

B. the cost has soared to 1.8 cents per penny.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the reproduction of the given sentence means changing the sentence or particular line into a more refined or better version. This will be in tune with maintaining the meaning of the replaced line or words while trying to 'change' it.

While the first part of the sentence provides the previous cost of making pennies, the second part is about the current cost. And in the given sentence, "the cost has changed in a noteworthy way" can be changed into "the cost has soared to 1.8 cents per penny" to make the point much clearer. This change will ensure that the readers know and understand the 'hike' in the cost of penny making, which also completes the comparison.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Answers

Answer:

1. I am so excited to see my family for Christmas!

2. Where is an exciting place to visit?

3. Make sure to complete all your homework on time.

4. John asked, "When are we going on a vacation?"

5. Terry, Sam, and Jeremy went to the movies together.

6. Wow! What a wonderful event!

Explanation:

1. We added an exclamation mark because the sentence indicates that the speaker is excited. The exclamation mark is the punctuation used to indicate excitement.

2. The speaker is clearly asking for information - notice the use of "where" right at the beginning of the sentence and the verb "are" before the subject "we". When asking questions, we should use a question mark.

3. This sentence offers either a suggestion or a command. There is no indication that the speaker's tone was too authoritative, so a period is good enough.

4. At first, we may think this is an indirect speech that requires only a period. However, the verb "are" is placed before the subject "we", which indicates a direct question. Thus, a question mark should be placed after it. Also, to separate the question from the rest of the sentence, we need to place quotation marks around the question.

5. We must use commas to separate each name listed in the sentence as well as a period to finalize it.

6. This sentence begins with an interjection that expresses surprise or amazement. That interjection already requires an exclamation mark. We can assume the rest of the sentence is said in the same exclamatory tone, so another exclamation mark should be used at the end.

Exercise 1. Simple present and simple past of to be (Complete with the correct form) A) AM B) IS C) ARE D) WAS E

Answers

Answer:

The question is incomplete, but to complete it, we have to know when to use the tenses:

We use the simple present to talk about habits, statements, feelings, plans. We use the past simple to talk about finished actions in the past that have a time reference.

Explanation:

To complete with the correct form of the verb to be, we have to know that the verb to change with the subject:

For I, we use "am" in the present and was in the past.

For he, she, it, we use is in the present and was in the past

Fo the subjects we, you, they, you, we use are for the present, and were for the past.

The next thing that we need to know to complete the exercise is when we use the simple present and the simple past.

Simple present: We use it to talk about things that are always true, habits, routines, express feelings, and plans for the future.

They are actions that happen in the present.

Simple past: we use it to talk about an action that has already finished at the time of speaking. It has a time reference like yesterday, last year, two weeks ago, etc.

The correct expression to complete the blank in the sentence is "isn’t it" as shown in option C.

We can arrive at this answer because:

For the blank space in a sentence to be filled, it is necessary to read the sentence and observe the context it presents.Next, we should look for the word or clause that best fits that context.

An example of this can be seen in the sentence above, where the speaker wants to know if it is true or false, that a girl says unreasonable things.

In this context of "true or false," it is correct to use the clause "isn’t it" to question the listener.

Read the poem and answer the question.

[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Wordsworth uses the word "dance" throughout his poem. In a paragraph of 3-5 sentences, analyze how the poet uses "dance" in stanzas 2 and 4. Who is dancing in these two stanzas? In each instance, what does the use of the word "dance" reveal about Wordsworth's view of nature?

Answers

Explanation:

In the poem , the poet uses the word ‘dance’ quite a few times .

In the 2nd stanza , Wordsworth had used the word ‘dance’ to show that the daffodils were moving to and fro due to the breeze . It seemed like the flowers were dancing joyously , as if in rapture , in the gentle breeze . The movement of the daffodils had been described as ‘ tossing their heads in a sprightly dance ’ .

In the 4th stanza , poet William uses the word ‘dance’ to show that his pleasure-filled heart started to dance when introduced to the memory of those 10,000 daffodils along the margin of the bay . The daffodils come back to the speaker's imaginative memory — access to which is a gift of solitude — and fills him with joy as his mind dances with the daffodils .

"O Dubinushka" is a song that was composed by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1905 during the Russian revolution. The title of the song in English means 'The little Oat Stick' and it tells the story of the revolution from the standpoint of a worker.

"Tortured and Enslaved" is another revolutionary song that describes the resilience of the people despite immense suffering.

The conflict that is displayed in the given excerpt taken from 'Yearbook' would be 'character vs self' as the character undergoes an inner struggle to socialize with people and communicate with them after her best friend has left her. The descriptions like 'thought of herself...being dependent on others' shows that there is a disagreement among her own thoughts as she is unable to call herself shy but at the same time she feels lonely and finds the past time easier when she was with her best friend which shows her dependency over others. Thus, there is conflict with her self and hence, option b is the correct answer.

So The Great Wave, far from being the quintessence of Japan, is a hybrid work, a fusion of European materials and conventions with a Japanese sensibility. No wonder this image has been so loved in Europe: it is an exotic relative, not a complete stranger.

It also, I think, shows a peculiarly Japanese ambivalence. As a viewer, you have no place to stand, no footing. You, too, must be in a boat, under the Great Wave, and in danger. The dangerous sea over which European things and ideas travelled has, however, been drawn with a profound ambiguity.

Though Japan's imperial system is thousands of years old, Japanese emperors had very little power during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. In 1867, a series of events known as the Meiji restoration returned control of Japan to its emperor. Powerful Japanese emperors led a modernization program in Japan that allowed it to become wealthy and powerful during the 20th century. The Japanese Empire used its military power to conquer Korea, Vietnam, parts of China, and other territories in Southeast Asia during this period. During World War II, Japan fought as one of the Axis powers but was forced to surrender after the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japanese cities. Though the United States considered ending the imperial system entirely, it eventually allowed the emperor to remain in place. However, his power was greatly reduced, and present-day Japanese emperors serve ceremonial roles instead of being political leaders. What is one example of continuity described in the passage?
