Read this excerpt from paragraph 15 of Nelson Mandela's Nobel Prize address and answer the question.

English

The synonym for "scourge" that best conveys Mandela's intended meaning in describing abuse and ignorance is "plague," as further explained below.

<h3>Why is "plague" the best option?</h3>

As stated in the question, all answer choices are possible synonyms for "scourge". However, one of them conveys Mandela's intended meaning better. We must keep in mind that Mandela is using "scourge" to talk about abuse and ignorance.

In that case, "plague" seems to be the best option. Abuse and ignorance are too big an issue to be expressed through lighter words such as "difficulty" or "disturbance." "Punishment" could be a possibility, but it simply does not go well with the context.

With the information above in mind, we can select "plague" as the correct answer for this question.

Highlight the preposition in the sentence below.<br> Joey Tribbiani is rooting for the other team.
Sav [38]

The preposition in the sentence - Joey Tribbiani is rooting for the other team is-" for"

A preposition is a word or phrase that appears before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to indicate direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Prepositions include words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to." English prepositions are highly idiomatic. Although there are some usage rules, many prepositions are dictated by fixed expressions. In these cases, memorize the phrase rather than the individual preposition.

Prepositions are typically found at the end of a sentence, but before a noun or pronoun. Prepositions do not have a specific form. The majority of prepositions are one-word phrases, but complex-prepositions are two- or three-word phrases.
