B. They had been searching for it for years.
Lesechka [4]3 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.

Adam and Eve eat the apples to gain knowledge but at the cost of their promise to God, thus contributing to the theme of Betrayal.

Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Eve in the story ate a fruit which was said to the fruit of knowledge. This fruit was ate by Eve to get knowledge and be intelligent. She also gave some of this to Adam.

This came as a betrayal to God because both of them had promised to god that they will both not eat it. But in the greed of knowledge, they ate it and broke the promise.

One time I was walking through the woods. Not just any woods, but woods that exemplify the definition of ethereal. I wanted to laugh. I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. It was just me. I walked for what seemed like a lifetime only to rest under what seemed like a never ending stair of daunting oaks looking down upon me. I pondered the virtues that humans hold so dear. I pondered the true meaning of life. I pondered what it means to be human. In the end, I found that nothing is nothing and everything is everything. We aren’t here for any exact reason, rather, we’re here for no reason at all. If I was to dictate the feeling I felt at that moment, perhaps I would explain it as an epiphany as to the true nature of existence. We are here to enjoy life. Humans too often think of what is outside of our planet, our solar system, our galaxy. But what I found most interesting, is that we truly don’t know what it is that makes us human, not an animal, but human. We have evolved to expand beyond mother nature’s beautifully designed ecosystems in order to form our own “ecosystem”. Is it our language, our notions of society, our cultures, or is it even our mastery of enviromental manipulation that makes us human? For, I do not have an answer to any of these questions. What I do know is that life isn’t about answering these questions, rather enjoying what is dear to oneself. (Sorry this is only 1 free write but I saw this question and felt like writing something ‍♂️)
