The correct answer is B. Boiled, ate

Explanation:

In grammar, a sentence that contains a compound predicate is one that has two or more verbs which are usually linked by commas or conjunctions such as "and". This means in the sentence presented it is necessary to add two verbs to create a compound predicate. Moreover, these verbs need to be related to the object included "the entire mashed potato" that is the entity affected by the action. According to this, the correct pair of verbs is "boiled, ate" (Option B) as mashed potatoes can be both boiled and ate but not ran, slept, played, or jumped as in other options, which means this is the only pair of verbs that completes correctly the sentence.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

show that the wartime goals of the U.S. Cavalry and the Kiowas were fundamentally different.

Explanation:

The language in this sentence suggests that the author wants to "show that the wartime goals of the U.S. Cavalry and the Kiowas were fundamentally different."

For the Kiowas, they fought as a result of their expertise as good warriors. They fought out of their character and nature to fight and not because of the material gains they will get as a means of survival. Whereas, the U.S. Cavalry were somewhat different as they kept pushing forward even at a time when there is no war.
