Answer: B

Explanation:

In the sentence B 'Samuel noted that the flowers "... in boxes grew larger than those planted in pots.' the use of the ellipsis is incorrect because the sentence is stating something that Samuel noted but, by placing the ellipsis right before the words in boxes, it prevents the function they have, which is of modifying the noun flowers, also the verb is missing.

Which labeled location is the place where more elephants are bred than anywhere else, according to the excerpt? A – Socotra B –

lana66690 [7]

The excerpt of this question is missing; here is the missing excerpt:

Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo and study the map.

[This] is an island lying about 1,000 miles south of Socotra. The people are Saracens who worship Mahomet. They have four sheikhs—that is to say, four elders—who exercise authority over the whole island. You must know that this island is one of the biggest and best in the whole world. It is said to measure about 4,000 miles in circumference. The people live by trade and industry. More elephants are bred here than in any other province; and I assure you that not so many elephant tusks are sold in all the rest of the world put together as in this island and that of Zanzibar.

The correct answer to this question is C. Madagascar

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the narrator refers to an island located "about 1,000 miles south of Socotra". About the island, the narrator describes some geographical features of it, as well as, features of its people. This includes the detail "More elephants are bred here than in any other province" that shows the number of elephants bred in this island is higher than in any other region.

Now, on the map, it can be deduced the island the author describes is Madagascar (Location C) because this is the only island located to the South of Socotra (Location A), which coincides with the description in the excerpt.

Oral presentation on your Views on communism.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The ones in bold have been corrected

Explanation:

a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and gets paid according to their abilities and needs.

So what you are telling me is that let's say a woman works at a grocery store and she only gets $15 an hour and for that month she will be having $31,and she is a good worker. But she only gets paid enough to afford what she needs and that does not allow her to go out and have dinner and go on vacation with her kids and husband am I right? YES YOU ARE RIGHT, LOL.

MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST IF THIS HELPS.
