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.

What evidence from the text shows how the Cratchits feel about their situation?
seropon [69]

Answer:

I am not sure because you did not put the text.

But, from what I could find online "The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows the Cratchits in a future where Tiny Tim has died and here, we see how sensitive Bob Cratchit is. His love for his son is shown through his grief." is the best summarization I could find.

All along the road the reddish
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

In 'Spring and All', William Carlos Williams portrays the contrast between spring and winter, but also life and death. Spring is presented as a symbol of hope, the season when life comes back.

In this stanza, Williams describes the dying landscape. The setting is pretty dark and cold. The plants have become barely recognizable - bushes are twiggy, there are dead, brown leaves under leafless trees. Williams wrote the poem at the end of World War II, when the world was still suffering the consequences of the war. The picture described in this stanza could be interpreted as a metaphor for tragic circumstances at the time the poem was written.
