Answer:
The correct answers are:
- Her is the direct object of the action verb ask.
- Me is the object of the preposition for.
Explanation:
Let's go through all of the options:
1. this can't be correct because the word <em>her </em>is a pronoun, and not a noun
2. this is correct because a direct object gives the answer to the question <em>who(m)? </em>Here, the question would be - <em>Whom did you ask? </em>and the answer would be <em>Amelia and her. </em>
3. this is correct because there is a preposition <em>for </em>in this sentence and it demands an object to follow it; here, that object are the pronouns <em>you and me</em>
4. this can't be correct because <em>Amelia </em>and <em>me </em>aren't the same person so Amelia can't be the antecedent for me
C to inform readers about George Washington’s legacy as the first president of the United States
*First person* is the point of view that makes the reader feel like a close friend or confidant.
I also agree that the answer is B: whom
in this sentence you are using the preposition + whom grammar structure. Whom is considered an object pronoun and is used when asking who will receive the action, which in this case, I believe is, baking those cookies. Hopefully this makes sense and good luck.
In "Exhalation", “the belief that memory is recorded as writing in the brain” is the "inscription hypothesis"
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The author, Ted Chiang, feels suspicious about the slow functioning of the human’s brain and decides to find out why. He dissects the brain and finds out that the brains are not malfunctioning but are actually working faster. He wondered and questioned about the fineness of brain.
For decades, the theory of memory dominated that all human experiences are engraved on the golden leaf; it was these blades that were torn apart by the force of the explosion and were the cause of small flakes found after the disaster.
Anatomists collect pieces of golden leaf - so thin that light falls out of the greenery - and have been trying for years to reconstruct the original leaves in the hope of deciphering characters recording the last experiences of the deceased.
He later comes up with a hypothesis called the inscription hypothesis, stating that human memory is recorded as writing in the brain. Exhalation by Ted Chiang is a short story which is filled with science, thus making it a science based short story.
