The correct answer is: are, and appears

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>.

4. Analyze: How does Louv use contrasts—such as death and rebirth, broken and
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. He drew the contrasts between death and rebirth when he explained that the contact which the new generation of children have with nature is dying. He explained that there is a possibility of a rebirth of wonder and joy where man can begin his meaningful interaction with nature.

Evidence from the text:

My sons may yet experience what author Bill McKibben has called "the end of nature," the final sadness of a world where there is no escaping man. But there is another possibility: not the end of nature, but the rebirth of wonder and even joy.

2. He drew a contrast between being broken and healing when he explained that the bond between the young and nature was broke. He also explained that nature did have a therapeutic effect as seen from some studies. Making it a point to heal the bond between the young people and nature would be beneficial to all.

Evidence from the text:

Yet, at the very moment that the bond is breaking between the young and the natural world, a growing body of research links our mental, physical, and spiritual health directly to our association with nature—in positive ways.

Reducing that deficit—healing the broken bond between our young and nature—is in our self-interest, not only because aesthetics or justice demands it, but also because our mental, physical, and spiritual health depends upon it.
