A double negative is a construction in which two ore more negative words are used where one is sufficient.

NONSTANDARD: Herbert never has no time to relax no more.
STANDARD: Herbert never has any time to relax any more.
OR
Herbert has no time to relax any more.


The contraction “n’t” is a shortened way of saying not. Do not use the contraction “n’t” with another negative
word.

NONSTANDARD: There isn’t no tread on those tires.
STANDARD: There isn’t any tread on those tires.


Other negative words that a writer should not pair up with additional negative words include: no, not,
nothing, barely, scarcely, and hardly.
NONSTANDARD: They scarcely had no tickets left for the concert.
STANDARD: They scarcely had any tickets left for the concert.

Directions: Now you try it. Rewrite each of the sentences below correcting it so there are no double negatives.
Remember that there is often more than one way to correct each error.

Explanation:

As was explained in the question, the usage of two negative words in the same sentence is a nonstandard form of writing or speaking the English Language. It is only allowed to use just one negative word at a time.

In the first sentence, for example, it was wrong for the speaker to use couldn't and barely in the same sentence. Only one of the two can be used at the same time. Therefore, the correct form eliminates couldn't with the positive could.

6) What were 3 lasting effects of the British Empire on the rest of the world and why? Provide examples.

7) What was one reason why the British Empire declined? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Pax Britannica was the period of relative peace between the Great Powers during which the British Empire became the global hegemonic power and adopted the role of a "global policeman"(not sure why)Jamestown, VirginiaThe British navy  used trade to expand and the state revenues, became virtually self-supporting. This brought huge changes to societies, industries, cultures and the lives of people all around the world.412 million people were added to the British Empire in the 19th centuryIt is easy to think of the end of the British Empire in terms of a water tap that was simply shut off and therefore ceased to be effective, but in reality the residual impact of Britain’s world domination is still felt in many places today. Whether it be a colony within the British Isles, such as Ireland, or a colony separated by oceans and timezones, such as Australia, British policies made the world England for over two centuries. ---- (Paragraph 2)Coming from a Commonwealth country myself (Canada), British influence on everyday life, although not oppressive or overt, could definitely be felt. As late as the early 90’s it was manditory for schoolchildren to sing God Save the Queen after the Canadian national anthem. There is still a policy of Constitutional Monarchy in Canada which requires both a national representative of the Queen, called the Governor General, and a respresentative for every province, called the Lieutenant Governor. The governmental system of Parliament in Ottawa is modelled after Britain’s own Parliamentary system.  ---(paragraph 3)Canada’s situation after the fall of the Empire was somewhat unique in that it was still an integral part of the Commonwealth, but was geographically next to the United States, which had revolted against England and therefore would exert unavoidable influence over Canada. The British Empire was of the opinion that Canada would need to defend itself, but still took an interest in Canadian national defense because of fear of American expansion after the American Civil War. In spite of the formation of the Dominion of Canada through the British North America Act of 1867, it would take almost 120 years before complete legal independance would be achieved. Although the Statute of Westminster in 1931 made it possible for colonies such as Canada and Australia to independently govern themselves while maintaining a relationship with Britain, total legal independance was was achieved by the Canada Act of 1982.The First and Second World Wars left Britain weakened and less interested in its empire. Also many parts of the empire contributed troops and resources to the war effort and took an increasingly independent view. This led to a steady decline of the empire after 1945.

These tropical cyclones all form the same way. They form above warm ocean waters near the equator and use warm, moist air as fuel. This fuel allows them to continue to grow and rotate at faster speeds until they hit land. Once they hit land, they usually slow down because they no longer have the warm, moist air to fuel them. Although they slow down, they still move at speeds that allow them to cause great damage.Hurricane Irma is a recent storm that touched down in the United States, forming from a tropical wave in the Atlantic Ocean. This wave lead to rain showers and thunderstorms, and eventually, the showers and thunderstorms became organized into a system. This created a low pressure area, allowing a hurricane to form. Hurricane Irma continued to grow as it moved across the ocean. By the time it hit the Caribbean, it was a Category 4 hurricane. It continued to change in size and speed. Finally, it touched down in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane before gradually weakening in power and dying in Missouri.Hurricanes are a severe weather occurrence. Some hurricanes stay small, while others become more powerful until they touch down on land and start to lose power. However, hurricanes can still be catastrophic once they make landfall. Because scientists have learned so much about how hurricanes form, they are able to monitor them and warn people to take precautions if a hurricane hits in their area.Based on the information in the text, why is it important for scientists to inform the public about the category of a hurricane that is going to hit a specific area?Question 1 options:Scientists can warn the public about how powerful the hurricane will be and how much damage it may cause, which allows people to prepare.Scientists need to warn the public about the category so that the people from the area it hits can compare it to other hurricanes they have experienced.Scientists travel to different sites of hurricanes and want to inform the people from the area that they are collecting information about the hurricane.Scientists collect information about each category of hurricane and want to learn about the effects of the hurricane from the people in the community.
