The meaning of the word detract should be distract because the word detract means lessen the worth of something like subtraction, and so insult means to hurt someone with words/speech not lessen so no, not vary because that's like checking and pending so no, and not attract because that means pulling something/someone closer so no. The answer is distract because its taking someone/something away from another.

When writing your global purpose, what is NOT considered a helpful practice?
Shalnov [3]
<span>Writing a global purpose means that you have got to put in mind anything that you will be doing with what the possible effects it could give you and to other people. You got to ask the question what benefits could these goals to you and others? To the environment? When we write goals, we sometimes mistakenly view the world as if its in the palm of our hands. You need to write goals which are attainable, which you can do in your own way.</span>

Which detail from Chaucer’s the monk's tale best demonstrates that fortune is a bold property that no one should trust.
Lady bird [3.3K]

I believe that the fact that Nero ruled the world but his own people turned against him is a perfect example of how being a wealthy person such as Nero does not guarantee a perfect life.

Hope this helps!

Which sentence has a misplaced adjective clause?
tia_tia [17]
The correct answer is <span>a. Even the adults were jumping and splashing like children, who usually don't play much.

The clause "who usually don't play much" refers to adults and not children. Here however, due to misplacement, it makes it seem as if the children are the ones who don't play much.</span>
