Answer:

D. Neither the children nor their mother hides her delight at receiving presents.

Explanation:

In any sentence which uses the "neither...nor" form, it is mandatory to see the structure of the sentence first. Neither....nor is a comparing word which is also a negative form.

Whenever the 'neither...nor' form is used, the verb form will be based on the subject nearest to it. The subject-verb agreement will depend on the singularity/plural form of the subject involved. In the sentence, the verb "hide(s)" will be judged or used based on the nearest subject which is "mother" thus making it singular. So, the verb will become "hides" and followed by the pronoun "her" instead of the plural "their" for "mother" is singular.

Thus, the sentence

<em>Neither the children nor their</em><u><em> mother hides her</em></u><em> delight at receiving presents</em>

is deemed the correct answer.

THE MONSTERS ARE DUE ON MAPLE STREET How did you expect the play to end? Was there a point that you thought there were not any a
Masja [62]

Answer:

1. I expected the play to end with some philosophical or moral message, as it actually ended, as it shows that alienation, paranoia and panic make people easy targets to manipulate.

2. I thought that there were no aliens when at the beginning of the play, where the neighborhood was affected by factors that can happen normally, such as the drop in electricity supply, the existence of introverted people and problems with cars and phones.

3. I believed that aliens existed when the shadow that took over the city appeared and when the aliens did appear.

Explanation:

"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" tells the story of a city that had several problems with electricity supply and telephone and television signals, after a giant shadow overtook the city and a very strong flash was seen by all. Cars also began to malfunction, leaving all residents concerned. The townspeople started to think that this was caused by aliens and started to distrust each other, thinking that the neighbors were beings from another planet. This caused great hysteria and paranoia in everyone, driving the city into complete chaos. In the end we learned that the shadow and the malfunction of things were being caused by aliens themselves, who were trying to discover how panic and paranoia allowed human beings to be manipulated.
