Answer:
Norma's personal desires resulted to her pushing the button, which unknowingly, led to her husband's death.
Explanation:
"Button, Button" is a shorty story written by Richard Matheson. It focuses on the story of a couple, Norma and Arthur, who were having financial troubles. Then, came a day when a mysterious box showed up. A stranger visited the house when Arthur was at work. He gave Norma the key to the box and told her that she could press the box to receive $50,000. However, if she does this, someone she didn't know will die.
Norma didn't listen to her husband when her husband threw the box in the trash. She was focused on <u>obtaining the</u><u> $50,000</u>, without thinking about who will die if she presses the button. Although her husband already told her that an innocent person might die once she does it, she still didn't care.
So, when Norma pressed the button, <em><u>her husband died in a train incident</u></em>. Norma wondered why her husband died and asked the stranger about it. The stranger only answered, <em>"Do you really think you knew your husband?</em>"
The correct answer is Very young owls grow slowly.
Here, the adverb is <em>very </em>and the adjective is <em>young, </em>so the adverb is used to modify the adjective, or to show a particular degree of the adjective (how young? very young.).
In the rest of the options, there is only one adverb <em>slowly, </em>and it's not modifying an adjective, but rather the verb.
Answer:
D. Barry's band perform for a group of paying customers every time they play at Filits.
Explanation:
The tricky thing with words such as "band", "team", "jury" etc. is determining whether they are singular or plural.
Basically, the rule is that when we talk about the group of people, as a whole, we use singular form, but when we talk about the members of the group we use plural form.
Sentences A. and B. are correct; "Barry plays/feels...", "The name comes..." all use correct verb forms regarding the subject.
Sentence C. in the first part uses "The band is called..." and then "They have been...". This might seem wrong, but it actually isn't. In the first part, the band refers to the group, meaning it's singular. In the second part "they" refers to the band members, which should be plural.
Ssntence D. uses the band as the group, but uses the inadequate verb form - perform instead of performs.
