sertanlavr [38]2 years ago

Answer:

B. The clerk showed the hat to the customer with earflaps.

D. I found an old television set in the closet from the 1950s.

Explanation:

Prepositional phrases are a combination of words that consist of a preposition, an object, and modifying words for the objects. When making sentences, words should be used in the correct order for proper understanding.

The sentence, "The clerk showed the hat to the customer with earflaps", is also not clear. Earflaps are attached to caps or hats to keep the ear warm. In the sentence, it seems as if the customer had the earflaps instead of the hat. A proper sentence should be, "The clerk showed the hat with earflaps to the customer".

The sentence, "I found an old television set in the closet from the 1950s", is not a very clear sentence because the sequence of events is not properly highlighted. The total description of the television should have preceded the place where it was found. A better phrasing should be, "I found an old television set from the 1950s, in the closet".

Which two sentences in this excerpt from The Time Machine by H.G. Wells suggest that the Morlocks possess a degree of intelligen
Digiron [165]
You did not provide the excerpt but I wound it and the correct answers are the following two sentences:

1.<span>For once, at least, I grasped the mental operations of the Morlocks.
Here we see that they do possess a kind of intelligence, maybe at first strange and unclear but it is there, no matter how strange it might seem.

2.</span><span>I was surprised to find it had been carefully oiled and cleaned.
Here the Time Traveler has found his Time Machine and he finds that the Morlocks had tried to grasp its function and its purpose. They have taken it apart and then cleaned and oiled it, which suggests they know somethings about how the machine work.

Which phrase best defines “summary”?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
A summary is a breif explanation/sum up of what you have talked about or what ever the topic was. It is used to wrap up everything you have explained. It is better to use summary's so that we can say the main idea in less words and so people can read it quicker and get the idea of that topic.

For your history project, you need to write a magazine article about the
Mnenie [13.5K]

The correct answer is A. Your teacher wants you to examine how point of view influences hero selection

Explanation

Newspaper articles are primary sources of information because these documents report important events in an objective way for the knowledge of the general public. In addition, they serve to know first-hand events of the past. In this case, the teacher gives his students articles from Japanese and American newspapers to write an article on the attack on Pearl Harbor.

An interesting aspect of this activity is that the vision of both articles is different because each author has a different point of view about the event of Pearl Harbor. In this case, each one points out the soldiers or military personnel of their country as heroes because they share its ideals of struggle.

This activity is quite important to investigate because it allows students to know about an event through different points of view, and also learn more about it and have a broader vision of what happened.

So, the correct answer is A. Your teacher wants you to examine how point of view influences hero selection
