The pair of verb forms which correctly completes the sentence is the following one:

A. are; appears.

The complete sentence would look like this:

"Mercury and Venus are relatively close to the sun, and neither Mercury nor Venus appears to support life."

In the first clause, the subject is formed by "Mercury and Venus", which means it is plural, and therefore it requires a plural verb (<em>Mercury and Venus</em> are= <em>They</em> are).

In the second clause, there is a neither...nor construction, and both elements which form the subject (again, <em>Mercury and Venus</em>, but this time used in the construction <u>neither</u><u><em> Mercury </em></u><u>nor</u><u><em> Venus</em></u>) are singular nouns, which means a singular verb must be used: neither Mercury nor Venus <em>appears</em>.

Chapter 3
pentagon [3]

Answer:

By using a detached and to-the-point style.

Explanation:

Writing about his experiences in the concentration camp Wiesel used an undercooled detached style that was always to the point, business-like and deprived from emotions. The interesting paradox is that, by doing so, he created the emotional tension that seemed to be detached from the narrator, who speaks in short sentences that convey the moment-by-moment experience in a cold and robot-like manner.
