2 answers:

7 0

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that contains an error in subject-verb agreement is the following one: My mother or my father is going to pick me up from swim practice. That is, the correct option would be D.

Subject-verb agreement refers to the fact that the subject and the verb must agree with one another in number (singular or plural). Consequently, if the subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural. In this case, the subject is plural since it refers to two people (mother and father), so the verb must also be plural.

1) The correct answer is: B) Developing

The word develop means to invent something or bring something into existence. Refine refers to the improvement of the idea by making small changes, that means the idea already exists, it is only modified.

2) The correct answer is: A) Refining

The word focus refers to pay attention to something, in this case an idea. From the options given, refine is the best choice as the idea already exists and improvement is needed. To do that, you need to focus on it paying attention to the small details.

3) The correct answer is: B) Well

Remember the difference between good and well is that the first one is and adjetive so it is used to modify nouns, and the second one is an adverd used to modify verbs. Fore example: you can be a good citizen, or you can read a good book. In the other hand: the car ran well or the kid played well.

4) The correct answer is: B) Tastier

Remember that to make comparatives and superlatives an -er or -est is used with most of one syllable adjectives and with certain two syllable ones. In this case more or most is not used because tasty has only two syllables. And you use the -er because you are comparing the meal with others.

Describe the events Meg undergoes with Aunt Beast, the creature that takes her from Mr. Murry.

eduard

Answer:

Meg leans against the soft, furry chest of one of the beasts and feels warm and secure. The beasts rub something warm over her body, clothe her in fur, and serve her something "completely and indescribably delicious." She begins talking with one of the beasts, who encourages Meg to think of an appropriate name for her. After dismissing "mother," "father," "acquaintance," and "monster," Meg settles on the epithet "Aunt Beast." Meg tries to explain light and vision to Aunt Beast, who has no eyes. At the creature's urging, Meg falls into a deep sleep and wakes up feeling wonderfully rested.
