Answer:
Jim lifted the heavy bag of concrete because he was as strong as an ox.
Explanation:
It is the fourth one because it is the only sentence describing someone/thing as strong. (as an ox.)
The first one has nothing to do with being strong.
The second one would be correct if it was "The boat was as strong as an ox as it persevered through the rough waters.", but since that isn't the sentence, it wouldn't work.
The third one is incorrect because if the toy was made to be as strong as an ox, why is it breaking into tiny pieces?
Therefore, the fourth one is right. :)
A.) Clerk and
E.) Messenger are the words in the sentence that are predicate nominatives.
Answer: The changes suggest that the residents have gradually become more frightened and want to defend themselves.
Explanation:
In Nadine Gordimer's short story, <em>Once Upon A Time</em>, the protagonist is frightened by the sound in the night and assumes that it is a thief.
As there has been an increase in crime in the suburb - houses are burgled and a person even dies, the neighbors take precautions to protect themselves. The first changes to the neighborhood are the alarm systems, but as they go off unnecessarily, they soon become useless. However, as more and more suspicious people are seen in the neighborhood, more severe measures are taken. For instance, the roses and perfect lawns are replaced by the fences and walls. These changes suggest that the residents become more and more frightened and address this problem more seriously.
