Answer:

Nebula 4G

Explanation:

He is someone who loves social media more than calling or texting which is seen in this phone. He also will be able to use the GPS. SInce he won't be needing to put it in his pocket since he's getting a bag, a bigger phone won't be an issue. While it won't have the photos or music, that will be contered with app notifications, and social networking some of the other phones don't give. In my opinion, this is the best phone for Dominic to choose.

Please, please spell check since mine is being buggy today! I really hope this helps even if you go your answer late.

ENGLISH QUESTION WILL GIVE 100 POINTS

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Not A cause the whole thing isn't about her knowing the time it's about her anticipation.

Not B cause nowhere does it mention her using her sense of smell.

So D or C..

In my opinion I'd put D. The paragraph is kinda laid back and it doesn't present that feelings of anticipation and wondering what gonna happen. Jenna doesn't seem as excited as she should be to see that list and even when she does the words make it seem like it's not a big deal to her.

20PTS ENGLISH QUESTION!! : Think about Kolbenschlag's essay, "Cinderalla, the Legend." What is Kolbenschlag's thesis? Write a se

Shkiper50 [21]

Well, firstly, I need to see the essay but in my opinion from what you are saying I think that the title is something to do with the story. So, "Cinderella, the Legend" so, it might be a Legend. It doesn't say The Great Cinderella or something which means the author has a normal feeling about it and doesn't think it's good neithier bad so, the author has a neutral feeling about Cinderella. I hope this helps! ^^

"Today was my first time behind the wheel. My father was my instructor for the day, and he picked me up. We were reviewing road

Semmy [17]

This question is incomplete, but I was able to find it online. We are supposed to analyze the following three sentences and decide whether each sentence is written in a parallel structure. If not, we must correct the sentence.

1. We were reviewing road signs and practiced turn signals before we started.

2. I turned on the engine while instructions were muttered by my father.

3. I stepped on the gas, checked my mirror, and crept through the parking lot.

Answer:

1. Change "were reviewing" to "reviewed".

2. Change to "my father muttered instructions".

3. Correct as is.

Explanation:

For a structure to present parallelism, it has to repeat a certain grammatical form inside the sentence. Parallel structures are used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases and make thoughts and ideas easier to understand.

In number 1, we have two different verb tenses expressing actions performed by the same subject in just one sentence. While "were reviewing" is in the Past Continuous, "practiced" is in the Simple Past. The sentence lacks parallelism, but that can be solved if we change "were reviewing" to "reviewed", so that both structures will be in the Simple Past.

In number 2, the same sentence presents a structure in the active voice - I turned on the engine - and another int he passive voice - instructions were muttered by my father. We can make the structures parallel by simply changing the last part to "my father father muttered instructions," so that it can be in the active voice.

Number 3 is correct as is. All the verbs are in the Simple Past, and the structures separated by commas present an action and another piece of information that goes with that action.
