C : I had the same question and got it right
Explanation:
Answer:
The best choice is:
We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared.
Explanation:
We need to find a way to eliminate ambiguity in the sentence. In this case, ambiguity is being caused by an issue with the antecedent of the pronoun "they". In "We heard rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared, but they were unreliable," "they" may refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". Even though we can assume the pronoun refers to "rumors", because of the word "unreliable" that follows it, the ambiguity is still there.
In "
We heard rumors about the disappearance of the Delacroix brothers, but we always thought they were unreliable," the revision made does not change anything. "They" can still refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". We can eliminate this option.
However, in "We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared," we no longer have any ambiguity. The pronoun "they" is not used anymore, and the adjective "unreliable" is placed right before "rumors", which makes its meaning clear. Thus, we can choose this option as the best one.
I am not quite sure if I know where the computer lab is. I heard it is open for all students, though. Where would I find it?
The direct object in the sentence is most likely "Juanita". In order for you to find the direct object in the sentence, you have to find the noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb. Direct objects ask "who" or "what" regarding the verb in your statement. In the sentence above, Hakeem thanked Juanita for the popcorn. "Thanked" is the verb in your sentence. Now ask yourself, who did Hakeem thank? He thanked Juanita. That makes Juanita the direct object in the sentence. Hope this helped you! (Sorry if this is wrong!)
