Choose the sentence that contains an error.
ladessa [460]

Since the sentence of option B doesn't have the sync both the clauses to make it meaning, it contains error.

Answer: B

Explanation:

As we see option A, it seems meaningful as the animals sought shelter while the night drew near. Same case occur with option C and D as in option C, the trees are rustling due to the passing of brisk winds through their branches and in option D, stars will obviously appear brighter as the darkness grows.

But, in the option B, there is no co-ordination of both the clauses of the sentences. The disappearance of the Sun has nothing to do with the silence of woods in a direct manner. Although we can understand it indirectly that in the absence of natural light, animals might consider it as night and sought shelter. Since all other sentences have directly linked clauses, option B is showing indirect relation. Hence, it may be the desired answer as error.

Which of these passages would most likely be part of an expository text?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Passage 1

Explanation:

An expository essay is an essay that is meant to explain, illustrate or clarify a topic in a straightforward way so it becomes clear to the readers.

This can be accomplished by using comparison, contrast, definition, use of examples and using the concept of cause and effect.

As the name suggests, what it does is <u>to expose.</u>  It is meant to educate the reader.

The first passage is an expository text because it uses description to educate the readers on the weather.

How does William Waillace's name alone serve as an example of ethos in this case? What evidence do we have to support this idea?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A name can establish ethos with its title (ex: President or Doctor) or with its status. Like if you heard the name "John F. Kennedy" it already establishes credibility because of his position as President, and so readers already believe he is a reliable speaker. So if William Wallace was a well-known person, his name establishes credibility because people already know of him and respect him, and so believe he will be a reliable speaker.

Explanation:

I'm not sure who William Wallace is or the context, but hope this helps!
