Answer: Margot prefers watching a hockey game to watching ice skating performances.

Explanation:

Parallel structures require both sides of the parallelism to have equal structures . Both elements connected by the preposition to must be of identical grammatical function.

In the case of  <em>Margot prefers watching active hockey games to the boredom of ice skating performanc</em>e. Watching active hockey is a gerund-phrase and on the other side of to there is boredom of ice skating which is a phrase headed by an abstract noun.The same issue is repeated in <em>Margot doesn’t like watching ice skating performances but hockey games</em>.Here but coordinates but the two sides hold different structures.

In conclusion, Margot prefers watching a hockey game<u> to</u> watching ice skating performances is the correct version since there are two gerund phrases on each side of TO.

I have a difficult to learn English how is the best way
nikitadnepr [17]
Well it depends on what you mean by learning English, though it seems that in this sense you mean learning English as your second language. I do not know what your first language is, so I can not help you as effectively, but in general English is one of the hardest languages to learn with all the grammar rules and words involved. I would get a tutor to help you,use Google Translate, get a language learning program, or a book that teaches you the language. Any one of these works, though some not as effective as others. You build up from the basics and use the language you want to learn as often as you can so you can learn faster

which law described in “kids at work” prevents sophie in “rocks in my pocket” from getting a work permit?
sveta [45]

Answer:

C. the 1916 federal child labor law

Explanation:

The "1916 Federal Child Labor Law" was also known as the <em>"Keating-Owen Child Labor Act of 1916." </em>This means that children<u> under age 14</u> will not be employed. Those who were aged 14 to 18, on the other hand, will only have to work for eight hours and not longer. Such law can be seen in the story entitled "Rocks in my Pocket." Although Sophie wanted to work at the coat factory, she couldn't get a work permit because she was too young and it wasn't allowed.

So, this explains the answer.
