In the sentence "American music from 1900 to 1950 was notably for its harmony and melody, which served the public well," there is indeed one mistake. The option with the correct form is:

c) American music from 1900 to 1950 was notable for its harmony and melody, which served the public well.

  • Let's focus on the first part of the sentence first, which is "American music from 1900 to 1950 was notably for its harmony and melody."
  • The complete subject of that part is "American music from 1900 to 1950."
  • That subject is followed by a linking verb, which is the past form of to be, "was".
  • Linking verbs are usually <u>not followed by adverbs</u>. They are followed by adjectives that modify the subject.
  • "Notably" is an adverb. We must change it into an adjective for the sentence to be correct. The equivalent adjective is "notable".
  • The correct sentence would then be: "American music from 1900 to 1950 was notable for its harmony and melody."

  • Now, let's take a look at the second part of the sentence, which is "which served the public well."
  • Here, we also have an adverb, "well", following a verb, "served".
  • But, in this case, it is<u> not wrong</u> to use to adverb. "Served" is not a linking verb. It is an action verb, and it can be modified by the adverb "well".
  • Therefore, there is <u>no mistake</u> in the second part of the sentence.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the correct option is letter C. American music from 1900 to 1950 was notable for its harmony and melody, which served the public well.

Write a letter to your friend describing how you saved a child who was in danger<br><br><br><br>​
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Number 12 Aventon Street,

Birmingham.

September 15, 2020.

Dear Liam, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine.

Man you would never believe that I became superman for 3 minutes yesterday as I rescued a child from an armed attacker.

Now, don't laugh. This is serious. It was a life and death stuff, yeah I know I'm scrawny and skinny but yesterday all those was replaced by cold rage and a sense of duty to save the young lad.

On my way home just past six in the evening, I saw a young teen arguing with an older boy about something, I decided to mind my business, when suddenly the bigger (and older) guy brought out a jack knife!

I acted without thinking, and I'm glad I did because it probably saved the young lad's life. I struggled with the attacker for a while, after he had already slashed the kid on the arm a few times, I overpowered him and with the help of some bystanders, we rendered him immobile. The police was called and they took the rascal away.

Well, enough of my three minutes heroics, hope you're having a swell time over there.

Have a blessed weekend, man.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

Aaron Connolly.

for example the victim would be traumatize but the passer by would just remember

Komok [63]

\LARGE{ \underline{ \tt{Required \: answer:}}}

Indirect speech:

The judge asked the lawyer if/whether he would be able to complete his arguments the next day.

Explanation:

The dialogue inside the inverted comma is a interrogative sentence or a question being asked by the Judge to the lawyer, the reporting verb 'asked' will be used.

And as the reporting verb is in past tense, the main verb will also be converted to past tense. The time mentioned 'tomorrow' will change into 'next day'
