The sentence I would choose is: "He was looking down at his outstretched hands as he talked". To me, it implies that he cannot look into the eyes of the person he is speaking to, as if he doesn't feel he is worthy.

The answer is: “When they did have something to say to us, they became familiar.”

“The Black Ball” by Ralph Ellison the narrator, John, is conscious that he is not treated like an equal, however, he still has hope in his life. He wants to transmit this to his son, that the identity is not dictated by the skin color. At the setting time of the history the black people did not have the same right that the white people, despite this, John keep fighting to achieve the American dream.

In my opinion Online shopping is way easier that actually going to the shops and buying what I need. Also there's many advantages. The biggest benefit of online shopping is 'convenience' as it can be done from anywhere, at anytime and even from your phones as all you need to do so is have a decent internet connection. You don't face problems like the shop is too far or it might be closed,... Also, many times online shopping is cheaper than offline. But...there are some disadvantages as well. From what I know myself ... I'd say the biggest disadvantage in online shopping is probably the delay in the delivery. If you need something urgently, due to weather, traffic, or lost packages, your delivery might come late which I'd say it quite annoying...but if you buy the product from a shop directly, no such issues are present. Or another disadvantage is there is no guarantee of a product's quality, therefore the product might be damaged. But most of the time the products arrive on time and are in a good condition. Therefore, in my opinion Online shopping is definitely way more beneficial than actual shopping.

Which word correctly completes the sentence? In these tournaments, one can't always be sure when __________ next match will be A

Veronika [31]

Out of your 3 possible answers, B. ones' is the correct one and I will explain why. Answer A is a contraction of one and is. When you put "one is" into the blank space you can tell that it is not right. Answer C is incorrect because when you place an apostrophe after an s it is implied that there should be another s that follows and so you do not need to put it there. This means that answer B is correct since it doesn't have the extra s.
