Answer:

The pronoun that correctly completes the sentence is <em>them.</em>

Explanation:

The sentence above contains a compound subject. A compound subject is one that consists of more than one noun (my father, my sisters). The individual elements in a compound subject are joined by a coordinating or correlative conjunctions.

When <em>and</em> is used to join the elements in a compound subject, the compound subject is treated as plural. However, when using <em>or, either/or, </em>or <em>neither/nor, </em>the compound subject might be singular or plural. Usually, if all the elements are singular, then it should be treated as singular. Yet, this is not the case. The NP "sisters" is plural, so the compound subject should be treated as plural despite of the fact that it has been coordinated by <em>or. </em>Therefore, the pronoun that correctly completes the sentence is <em>them.</em>

Them because the sentence said "father or sisters" which is multiple people. It is not specifying only one person. If it was only one person it would be "him" or "her". So the correct answer is them

Read this excerpt from "Mad Cow, Furious Farmer." The disease was first detected in England in 1986, though some scientists thin
Alla [95]

Prions are a type of defective proteins, that can cause normal proteins to turn into defective, infectious ones: prion, word that comes from the term "proteinaceous infectious particle"; prions can cause neurodegenerative diseases. Unfortunately, even after scientists identified prions as the causal agents of the "mad cow" disease and others like the "kuru" (discovered in New Guinea, amongst a tribe that practiced cannibalism)  and the "scrapie", the authorities tried to hide the epidemic, they took too long to ban the feeding of animals with mixes that included proteins from infected animals, so if authorities had implemented more actions since at least 1993 perhaps the epidemic could have been controlled earlier, instead of almost 25 years after the disease was identified.

In this sense, the author takes us step by step in the process (over time) and illustrates how people got frustrated because of the reaction of the government: nothing was done about the disease until over ten years after its discovery.

OMG PLEASE HELP!!. (40 points)
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

This is challenging the church leaders to take action against racial injustice because it is trying to convince them what they are doing is wrong. Martin states "Injustice must likewise be exposed, with all of the tension its exposing creates to the light of human conscience and the air of national opionion before it can be cured." This shows that he is trying to push justice everywhere by calling out the mistakes of others and trying to help them dix their injustice.
