Answer:

1 It’s easy to hurt your back when you do weights, so don’t try to lift too much.

2 These pictures are really good. When did you start to do photography ?

3 I got a new tent for my birthday, so let’s go camping in the mountains this weekend.

4 Gary doesn’t want to go horse riding again because he fell off last week.

5 When we’re travelling, we often play board games like chess. It’s a great way to pass the time.

Explanation:

I can't explain why these are correct but I can explain why others would be incorrect. You can't "play" photography nor can you "go" photography; Same thing applies to weights. They are acts you perform. While you play chess, because it is a game. You can't "do" camping because the action is based on location; Same as horse riding. I'm not sure how to explain it to make more sense of it.

A. DIRECTIONS: Identify the relative clause and the relative pronoun in each sentence. 1. Max bought one of those hoverboards that you ride around on. 2. The dog was wearing red booties, which made him look ridiculous. 3. Dan was the one in the game whose shoe fell off in the third quarter. 4. Alexandra is the person to whom all the blame was given for the software problem last year. 5. I went to the only place in town that has old parts–the junkyard.

Answers

Answer:

First, let's underline the relative clauses in each sentence:

1. Max bought one of those hoverboards that you ride around on.

2. The dog was wearing red booties, which made him look ridiculous.

3. Dan was the one in the game whose shoe fell off in the third quarter.

4. Alexandra is the person to whom all the blame was given for the software problem last year.

5. I went to the only place in town that has old parts–the junkyard.

Now, let's identify the relative pronoun of each:

1. that

2. which

3. whose

4. whom

5. that

Explanation:

A relative clause, or adjective clause, has the purpose of modifying a noun in the sentence by providing specific information about it. Relative clauses begin with a relative pronoun, whose function is to substitute a noun. The most common relative pronouns are: that, who, whom, which, and whose.

Take a look at the example below:

- Nina is the cat. The cat jumped over the fence.

The second sentence is providing information about the noun mentioned in the first sentence. However, it repeats the word "cat". To avoid such repetition, we can use a relative pronoun to substitute "cat" and transform the second sentence into a relative clause:

- Nina is the cat that jumped over the fence.

Definition used -

A noun is a word that functions as the name of a specific object or set of objects, such as places, qualities, or ideas.

Common nouns: Common nouns name any one of a class of person, place, or thing. Girl, town and ball are common nouns.

Proper nouns: Proper nouns name a specific person, place, or thing. Gladys, Las Vegas and Rolex are examples of proper nouns

Answers

Answer:

402, Snehasadan,

Malad,

Mumbai- 400097

2nd March 2015

Dear Jhanvi,

I hope this letter finds you well. I write this letter to you to discuss a problem that you and I have often agonised about. Remember our bumpy rides to school in the school bus? Well the stretch between SV Road at Milan Junction and the Link Road, passing through Daulat and Rizvi Nagar, is still a nightmare for commuters. I recently read in the papers that this infamous stretch has 179 potholes! To top it up, the rains have turned many of them into small pools of dirty water, the biggest among them measuring 3 X 3 metres with a depth of 10 inches! Naturally, the

motorists struggle every day to commute on this road.

The authorities may take years to act upon this problem. So it is up to us to take the necessary precautions to avoid any fatalities. We need to instruct our bus driver to steer clear of the big potholes. Driving slowly will minimise the inconvenience caused to the passengers. The water filled potholes have to be avoided since it is difficult to gauge their depth. We can also opt for  an alternate route even if it takes longer to get to school. I have decided to distribute these printed instructions to other motorists who use this road. I truly believe that the frequency of accidents can be brought down considerably if everyone adheres to these instructions. Write

back to me with your views on this subject.

Yours sincerely,

Anisha

When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin. He was lying on his back as hard as armor plate, and when he lifted his head a little, he saw his vaulted brown belly, sectioned by arch-shaped ribs, to whose dome the cover, about to slide off completely, could barely cling. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, were waving helplessly before his eyes.

“What’s happened to me?” he thought. It was no dream. His room, a regular human room, only a little on the small side, lay quiet between the four familiar walls. Over the table, on which an unpacked line of fabric samples was all spread out--Samsa was a traveling salesman--hung the picture which he had recently cut out of a glossy magazine and lodged in a pretty gilt frame. It showed a lady done up in a fur hat and a fur boa, sitting upright and raising up against the viewer a heavy fur muff in which her whole forearm had disappeared.

Gregor’s eyes then turned to the window, and the overcast weather--he could hear raindrops hitting against the metal window ledge--completely depressed him. “How about going back to sleep for a few minutes and forgetting all this nonsense,” he thought, but that was completely impracticable since he was used to sleeping on his right side and in his present state could not get into that position. No matter how hard he threw himself onto his right side, he always rocked onto his back again. He must have tried it a hundred times, closing his eyes so as not to have to see his squirming legs, and stopped only when he began to feel a slight, dull pain in his side, which he had never felt before.


Evaluate the excerpt from Metamorphosis. Compose an episode leading up to this passage when Gregor Samsa wakes up a monstrous vermin. Your narrative episode should be consistent with the information in the excerpt.

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from "Why the Sun Is Brighter Than the Moon.”

In the distant past, the Philippines was populated by a race of fairies who were unaffected by unpredictable weather. They minded neither sweltering heat nor freezing cold. They did not divide the day by hours of light and darkness. In fact, they lived in a constant dim twilight and never gave it any thought.

The details in this excerpt show that the setting is characterized by:

a. moderate temperatures.

b. constant darkness.

c. moderate sunlight.

d. constant dusk.

Answer:

The details in this excerpt show that the setting is characterized by: d. constant dusk.

Explanation:

The passage we are analyzing here mentions that the fairies did not mind any kind of weather or temperature. It also says that they lived in "constant dim twilight." Another way to say the same thing is that they lived in constant dusk. Dusk is the darker stage of twilight, when the sun is almost completely set and only a weak light remains. Having that in mind, we can choose letter d. constant dusk as the best option.

Answer:

D. constant dusk.

neighbor, had a lemonade stand too! "Hi Lance!" Sammy said. "This
lemonade stand is going to make me rich this summer!"
Lance stared at his neighbor. He had never been so boiling mad in his
life.
Which statement best explains how Lance's motivation leads to a conflict in
the story

Answers

Answer:

C. Lance's desire to make money with his lemonade stand causes him to get angry when his neighbor has the same idea

Answer:

The statement which best explains how Lance's motivation leads to a conflict in the story is:

C. Lance's desire to make money with his lemonade stand causes him to get angry when his neighbor has the same idea.

Explanation:

According to the passage, Lance wants to make a lot of money, but not necessarily needs to. Since letter A speaks of his needing money, we can eliminate it. Also, Lance does not confront or intimidate anyone in the story, which eliminates options B and D. He does get angry because he did not expect his neighbor to have the same idea. And if they are both going to sell the same thing on the same street, they are both likely to make less money than what they were hoping for. Thus, we can choose letter C as the best option:

C. Lance's desire to make money with his lemonade stand causes him to get angry when his neighbor has the same idea.

Delays the cure ……… At last cures her ………. Demands his fees……… lady refuses to pay, saying cure is not complete….Doctor Objects lady says sight not restored as she cannot see all her furniture ……………. Moral.

Answers

Answer:

Once upon a time there was an old lady. She lived alone. Her sight began to deteriorate; finally she became blind. Since she was affluent, she hired a doctor. She said to him, ‘If you cure my eyesight, I shall give you a high fee.’ The doctor happily agreed.

He would visit the old lady daily for the treatment procedure. He was of greedy nature. He began coveting the lady’s rare furniture. His covetousness reached so high that he decided to nick the pieces he admired the most. he intentionally delayed the treatment procedures.

After he had taken away enough furniture, he finished treating the old lady’s eyes. The lady’s eyesight was partially recovered. However, she found some pieces of her dear furniture missing. Now the doctor demanded his fee from the lady. Quite contrary to the doctor’s expectation, the lady refused to pay. She said, ‘I won’t pay you unless you treat my eye-sight completely.’

The angry doctor filed a case against her in the court. At the court the judge asked the lady, ‘Why are you not  paying the doctor his fee?’ The lady said, ‘I had promised to pay only on the condition of getting my eye-sight back. I am unable to see all of my furniture!’

The judge understood everything. He gave the verdict in favor of the old lady.

Explain the purpose of a theme statement and how it is more beneficial than just using vague words and phrases

Answers

Answer:

The purpose of a theme statement is for the reader to know the gist or plot of the whole article/context. It gives the reader a much more whole and complete outline of the text, and it is much more beneficial than just using vague words, phrases, and other unnecessary context.

If you use words and phrases that are hard for the reader or person to understand, then there is a high probability of the reader not knowing what your description or summary of the book or context your reading. It is important to have the reader know the gist of the context rather than having a short snippet or sample of the text you are describing.

For example, you’re telling a person what Adventure time is about, “Adventure time is about a boy and his shape shifting dog jake that go on adventures in OOO, the name of the territory they live in that is a Monarchy ruled over by a princess.” Or something like that.

The purpose of a theme statement is for the reader to understand the plot of the entire context as it gives the reader a complete outline of the text.

What is a theme statement?

Also called a thematic statement, a theme statement describes the central idea within a piece of  literature.

It is the point the writer is trying to make throughout the literary work, which can also be called a context clue.

It is more beneficial than just using vague words because it gives the reader a complete outline of the text, and other unnecessary context.

Since A is not respectful and not being productive, just wasting more time

C. Would be no point and also wasting time of repeating everything that has been already said so there would be no usefulness in reapeating everything that has been already said.
