Answer:

I think :

Explanation:

A superstition is "a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation" or "an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from superstition."[1][2] Often, it arises from ignorance, a misunderstanding of science or causality, a belief in fate or magic, or fear of that which is unknown. It is commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, prophecy, and certain spiritual beings, particularly the belief that future events can be foretold by specific (apparently) unrelated prior events.[3][4] The word superstition is often used to refer to a religion not practiced by the majority of a given society regardless of whether the prevailing religion contains alleged superstitions.[3]

Some superstitions consider black cats lucky, while others consider them unlucky.

The number 13 is omitted from this set of elevator buttons. A number of Western superstitions regard the number 13 as unlucky.

The superstitious practice of placing a rusty nail in a lemon is believed to ward off the evil eye and evil in general, as detailed in the folklore text Popular Beliefs and Superstitions from Utah.[5]

Identifying something as superstition is generally pejorative. Items referred to as such in common parlance are commonly referred to as folk belief in folkloristics.[6]

The fox had its right foreleg capuchin securely in the traps jaws. Find the mistake

Answers

Answer: The fox had its right foreleg capuchin securely in the trap´s jaws

Explanation:

The mistake is the absence of the possessive apostrophe that sets the jaws as part of the trap´s mechanism. A possessive apostrophe is mostly used by adding 's to a noun, such as the word "trap" in this example.

The apostrophe can be used for possession and contractions, and is possible to mistake "its" and "it's", but, in this case, "its right foreleg" is not a mistake.

Read the excerpt below from Virginia Reed’s memoir about her trip across the plains in the Donner Party. As you read, think about the mood expressed in this excerpt.
Never can I forget the morning when we bade farewell to kindred and friends. The Donners were there, having driven in the evening before with their families, so that we might get an early start. Grandma Keyes was carried out of the house and placed in the wagon on a large feather bed, propped up with pillows. Her sons implored her to remain and end her days with them, but she could not be separated from her only daughter. We were surrounded by loved ones, and there stood all my little schoolmates who had come to kiss me good-by. My father with tears in his eyes tried to smile as one friend after another grasped his hand in a last farewell. Mama was overcome with grief.

The statement which states why a writer might revise the second sentence to use passive voice rather than active voice is C) The writer does not know the name of the person who painted the mural.

What is Active Voice?

This refers to the mode of speaking where the subject of a sentence is the performer of an action.

With this in mind, we can see that from the given text, there is the use of narration to show the action of painting of a mural the previous year which uses active voice and may want to use passive voice because the writer does not know the name of the person who painted the mural.
