According to Igbo custom, twins are put in earthenware pots and throw away in the forest because the Igbo custom is that if twins were born they would be considered evil.

The Igbo people are African people from Nigeria. In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, we learn about the culture of this people. Besided, among the cultural practices he mentions, we learn about the birth of twins.

Twins were believed to be supernatural beings that could bring tragedy to the community.

Rings on the scales of some fish show the age of the fish. <br> transitive<br> intransitive

8090 [49]

Answer:

The verb in the sentence is:

a) transitive

Explanation:

A transitive verb exerts its action on an object, which means it can only express its meaning completely if that object is mentioned. In the sentence "Rings on the scales of some fish show the age of the fish," the verb is "show". To find the object, we have to ask the verb a question: the rings show what? They show the age of the fish. "the age of the fish" is the complete object of the verb "show". Therefore, the verb "show" is transitive.
