B. They had been searching for it for years.
Lesechka [4]2 years ago

The correct answer is the following: <em>option B</em>. In order to avoid the unnecessary shift in verb tense through the paragraph, the second sentence should be <em>"They had been searching for it for years". </em>The original paragraph starts with the sentence "The scientists were excited after they made the discovery" and then it goes to the second sentence that states " They have been searching for it for years". The opening sentence is written using the simple past tense, and in the second one the narrator uses the present perfect verb tense. This is an unnecessary shift in verb tenses, as it is always advised to use the same verb tense throughout a paragraph or story so that it is coherent. That is why the best option is to use the past perfect verb tense in the second question, to keep both a sense of coherency and for the message to not be altered.

An Act approved on May 13, 1938 made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday.
jolli1 [7]

Answer: An act approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting in its place the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. herself, trapped in her life.

Explanation:

The narrator of the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a mentally ill woman - or, at least, that seems to be what her husband thinks and convinces her of. Trapped in her life, in her house, she is advised to get as much rest as possible and to control her vivid and wild imagination. She ends up developing a fixation for the wallpaper on the walls, in which she sees a woman that is a representation of herself, of her feelings and desperation. In the excerpt, she describes how the woman tries to climb out of the pattern, just to be strangled and suffocated. She is, in reality, describing the way she feels when she tries to be herself but is suffocated by others, their expectations and impositions. Just like the woman she sees, she wants to break free.
