Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Schlosser believes that potato farmers in Idaho, who hope to sell their crops to one of the large potato corporations, have fallen under the sway of what he terms “the fallacy of composition,” “a mistaken belief that what seems good for an individual will still be good when others do the same thing.”

This fallacy has encouraged growers to spend enormously on every new invention and efficiency technology they can. However, when other farmers do the same, everyone produces more potatoes and the profit margin for potatoes goes down even more—thus making it even more difficult to generate enough income to sustain a living farming the crop.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Mary Jean and Beth <u>volunteered</u> for the past five years at a local shelter for abused pets.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the action/ verb is something that's done in the past. This is identified by the phrase "for the past five years", meaning it is an action that's been done in the past, that happened some years before the present.  Therefore, the verb "volunteer" will be used on the past form "volunteered".

So, the newly revised sentence will become-

Mary Jean and Beth <u>volunteered</u> for the past five years at a local shelter for abused pets.

As a "man speaking to men," Wordsworth believed the poet should write in a language easily understood by common
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

William Wordsworth (1770 – 1850) was an English Romantic poet. Samuel Taylor Coleridge and him published <em>Lyrical Ballads</em> in 1798, and thus began the Romantic Age in English literature.

In<em> "Preface" </em>to the <em>Lyrical Ballads</em>, Wordsworth discusses his view on poetry. He claims that pleasure in poetry occurs when language used is close to real speech. Good poetry, he argues, includes situations from real life that all people experience. Poetry should unite people regardless of their differences. Wordsworth also writes that a poet is ''a man speaking to men'', who possesses great knowledge about human nature.

Rewrite the sentence so that it uses a coordinating conjunction to indicate contrast. Brutus, who claims to be an honorable man,
vitfil [10]

Coordinating conjunctions bring two clauses (subject + verb + object) together. When joining two ideas, the comma is used.

Brutus claims to be an honorable man, but he stabbed Caesar.

Contrast conjunctions introduce a contradiction with what is said before (Brutus is honorable or honest, but he is a killer).
