Lines 16-30 below complete the story of Bertie and Aunt Agatha. Read the conclusion of the excerpt and answer the question.


from "EXTRICATING YOUNG GUSSIE"
by P.G. Wodehouse

She sprang it on me before breakfast. There in seven words you have a complete character sketch of my Aunt Agatha. I could go on indefinitely about brutality and lack of consideration. I merely say that she routed me out of bed to listen to her painful story somewhere in the small hours. It can't have been half past eleven when Jeeves, my man, woke me out of the dreamless and broke the news: 'Mrs Gregson to see you, sir.'
I thought she must be walking in her sleep, but I crawled out of bed and got into a dressing-gown. I knew Aunt Agatha well enough to know that, if she had come to see me, she was going to see me. That's the sort of woman she is.
She was sitting bolt upright in a chair, staring into space. When I came in she looked at me in that darn critical way that always makes me feel as if I had gelatin where my spine ought to be. Aunt Agatha is one of those strong-minded women. I should think Queen Elizabeth must have been something like her. She bosses her husband, Spencer Gregson, a battered little chappie on the Stock Exchange. She bosses my cousin, Gussie Mannering-Phipps. She bosses her sister-in-law, Gussie's mother. And, worst of all, she bosses me. She has an eye like a man-eating fish, and she has got moral suasion down to a fine point.
I dare say there are fellows in the world—men of blood and iron, don't you know, and all that sort of thing—whom she couldn't intimidate; but if you're a chappie like me, fond of a quiet life, you simply curl into a ball when you see her coming, and hope for the best. My experience is that when Aunt Agatha wants you to do a thing you do it, or else you find yourself wondering why those fellows in the olden days made such a fuss when they had trouble with the Spanish Inquisition.
'Halloa, Aunt Agatha!' I said
'Bertie,' she said, 'you look a sight. You look perfectly dissipated.'
I was feeling like a badly wrapped brown-paper parcel. I'm never at my best in the early morning. I said so.
'Early morning! I had breakfast three hours ago, and have been walking in the park ever since, trying to compose my thoughts.'
If I ever breakfasted at half past eight I should walk on the Embankment, trying to end it all in a watery grave.
'I am extremely worried, Bertie. That is why I have come to you.'
And then I saw she was going to start something, and I bleated weakly to Jeeves to bring me tea. But she had begun before I could get it.
'What are your immediate plans, Bertie?'
'Well, I rather thought of tottering out for a bite of lunch later on, and then possibly staggering round to the club, and after that, if I felt strong enough, I might trickle off to Walton Heath for a round of golf.'
'I am not interested in your totterings and tricklings. I mean, have you any important engagements in the next week or so?'
I scented danger.
'Rather,' I said. 'Heaps! Millions! Booked solid!'
'What are they?'
'I—er—well, I don't quite know.'
'I thought as much. You have no engagements. Very well, then, I want you to start immediately for America.'
'America!'
Do not lose sight of the fact that all this was taking place on an empty stomach, shortly after the rising of the lark.
'Yes, America. I suppose even you have heard of America?'
'But why America?'
'Because that is where your Cousin Gussie is. He is in New York, and I can't get at him.'
'What's Gussie been doing?'
Gussie is making a perfect idiot of himself.'
To one who knew young Gussie as well as I did, the words opened up a wide field for speculation.
'In what way?'
'He has lost his head over a creature.'
On past performances this rang true.


Which sentence best summarizes the central idea of this story?
Bertie strongly dislikes his Aunt Agatha because she treats him poorly.
Aunt Agatha wishes Bertie to do something that he does not want to do.
Gussie has fled to America to escape from the expectations of Bertie and Aunt Agatha.
Jeeves resents being asked to perform chores for Bertie and his Aunt Agatha.

When I was eighteen I decided I wanted to travel alone. I bought a ticket to Australia, I packed my bags and I left for the airport. I had to do a scale in Italy and then I had to take the flight there to go to Australia. I had to wait four more hours and I was sleepy so I decided to take a nap and set an alarm to wake up in time for my flight. But I didn't. I missed it and I got stranded in the airport for one whole day. It was the first thing that went wrong but not the only one. When I finally arrived to Australia, I had a lot of bad experiences. I felt lonely, I lost money and I missed home. However, I also made friends for life, I discovered amazing landscapes and I had the time of my life. So, nevertheless, it was my best experience.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to write a story that ends with the line given. Since the line has the word "nevertheless" included, you should write about something that was bad or went wrong but ended up being "the best experience". It's important to follow the rules given, which are the word limit and the different parts of a story.

Is it acceptable to commit a crime at any point in life?

Answers

Answer:

uh...technically no...but as long as you dont get caught...

Explanation:

Answer:

First of all, I don't think that most people who commit crimes really think it's okay, especially in a general sense. Not even specifically to their circumstances, for the most part. I have personally had contact with many non-violent offenders and most have accepted, to some degree, that they are guilty of committing a crime.

So, yes in my opinion there absolutely are times when it is alright (even a natural duty in some cases ) to commit a crime, but only if one is motivated by self preservation or the preservation of others; however no one has a right to take the life of other innocent persons no matter what the motivation may be.

In which sentence does the verb agree with the subject?

A. The tone and pitch of the sparrow's song is pure and clear.
B. Hermit thrushes and wood thrushes is a delight to hear.
C. The lark and the robin are loved for their music.
D. Sunflower seeds or corn attract a variety of birds.

Answers

Answer:

The sentence in which the verb agrees with the subject is:

C. The lark and the robin are loved for their music.

Explanation:

With just a couple of rules, we are able to answer this question easily. First, when we have a compound subject joined by "and", the verb should be plural, since it refers to both elements in the subject. That is why letters A and B are wrong. Letter C, however, does present a verb with a plural conjugation, which makes it correct.

When a compound subject is joined by "or", and one of the elements is plural, the verb will agree with the element that is nearer. Letter D is incorrect because "attract" should agree with "corn" and not "seeds".

Arranging things in a sequence, where each things precedes or succedes another is called ordering. Ordering can be done in several ways, depending on ordering criteria.

For example, we can arrange events chronologically, which means we arrange them based on the time period when they occured; from the most to the least recent event, or vice versa.

Spatial arrangement means that we list things based on their position in space; from right to left, or from top to bottom.

Logical order is when we place things in a manner that each one logically follows the previous.

However, in this example, we have climatic order, which means that things are arranged in an order from the least important to the most important, making the final thing on the list the most important, or strongest, or the best.
