The sentence that contains the correct word usage of evade versus invade is "Corn leaf aphids invaded the crop and caused damage to the plants." If we replace the word invaded with its definition we can see why. The sentence would read, "Corn leaf aphids entered the crop and caused damage to the plant. This makes sense. A corn leaf aphid is a pest, so it would not make sense if they evaded or left the plant and caused damage. That would be a good thing.

You can use the same technique to see why the other three sentences use the incorrect word.

<u>The thieves were able to invade being arrested by the police. </u>

This would read, "The thieves were able to enter being arrested by the police. This does not make sense. Rather, it should read, "The thieves were able to evade being arrested by the police." Thus, meaning they were able to cleverly escape being arrested.

<u>Guerrilla forces evaded the capital city and announced their power.</u>

This would read, "Guerrilla forces cleverly escaped the capital city and announced their power." While this sentence could make sense in the right context, it is more likely that they forcefully entered the capital city, or invaded it, in order to announce their power.

<u>Sheila tried to evade the private party by bribing the security guard.</u>

This would read, "Sheila tried to cleverly escape the private party by bribing the security guard." Again, this could make sense in the right context, but it is most likely that she bribed the security guard in order to enter a party that she wanted to intend. Therefore, the use of "invade" makes more sense.

Answer:

Corn leaf aphids invaded the crop and caused damage to the plants.

Explanation:

Like the question already provided, the meanings of the two words are-

<em>1. evade:  (verb) to cleverly escape somebody or something, to avoid</em>

<em>2. invade: (verb) to enter by force, to enter.</em>

Considering these two definitions of the words, the sentences are analysed as follows-

1.  The thieves were able to<u> invade</u> being arrested by the police.

Here, the use of the word "invade" is incorrect. The thieves cannot invade being arrested, but they can "evade'' it.

2. Guerrilla forces<u> evaded </u>the capital city and announced their power.

In this sentence too, the use of the verb "evade" is wrong as the sentence is implying that the Guerilla forces have taken control of the city. So, the right word should be "invade'.

3. Corn leaf aphids <u>invaded</u> the crop and caused damage to the plants.

here, the verb used is correct as it rightly mentions the invasion of the corn leaves by the aphids and destroying the crops.

4. Sheila tried to <u>evade</u> the private party by bribing the security guard.

Lastly, the verb used in this sentence is again wrong as it means Sheila was trying to get into the party, not going away from it. So, she had bribed the security guard. So, the correct word to use it should be "invade".

Thus, the sentence that uses the correct word usage is

Corn leaf aphids<em> </em><em><u>invaded</u></em><em> </em>the crop and caused damage to the plants.

Which is better virtual school or face to face school? please put an explanation!
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

I would say I'm qualified to answer as I've done both.

It's very dependant on the person. Some people go to virtual school because of limitations like mental illness.

Virtual school is slightly more flexible in terms of due dates and deadlines, and can be acessed anywhere or at any time of day. There are more electives and clubs, and plenty of college resources.

The downside of Virtual school is that it can be very isolating. You don't leave the house or see people in person, and that can be depressing. Because you don't leave the house for school there can be a weird sense of monotony. There is no division between home and school, and that really sucks.

__________________________________________________________

The benefits of face to face schools have to do more with social interaction.  You can exchange smiles with people and build friendships. You are developing people skills there. You learn how to work with people, and how to deal with negativity and sucky people.

There is the obvious downside of bullying, which is often the reason people leave face to face school. You can't really reach your teachers after hours, which can be limiting in terms of getting assignment help. There is the cursed science fair, and in person PE classes, and locker rooms and the like.
