The best answer for this would be:
A. are still loaded with meaning.
<span>In the excerpt, those little sentences are minimal yet have a lot of impact through how the characters are feeling. Instead of describing war, in a long monologue, he presented the topic by using short but meaningful words.</span>
If writing a formal or informative essay, “I kid you not” could be used in dialogue, like when citing someone.
<span>The correct answer is D. The book that explains the plays is on the shelf. In this sentence, "book" is the noun, which is singular. This means that the verb "to be" should also be singular, resulting in "is." A is incorrect because the verb "to be" should match the noun "reasons," which is plural. B is incorrect because the verb "to be" should match "people," which is plural. C is incorrect because, again, the verb "to be" should match the plural noun "reasons." </span>
Irony? because the narrator already feels destroyed. just my thought though....
