Subprime mortgages were considered toxic assets because mortgages were bought by investment banks and they bundled them and sold them as securities is True.  

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Toxic assets are those which can be sold a very low price therefore not making any profit for the seller due to significant drop of value or because they aren’t in demand anymore and cannot be sold in the market. Subprime mortgages were one of the risky investments in the midst of the financial recession.

Subprime mortgages from lenders were loaned to borrowers with no assets, poor credit and sometimes not even an income and sold to investors with regular payments as security. This over securitization was one of the major cause that triggered the financial crisis in 2007-2009 and a decrease in housing demand.

Two friends Sumit and Rahul were going home after school. Taking a bite at this bar of chocolate, Sumit said (a)_______ to go to
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Two friends Sumit and Rahul were going home after school. Taking a bit at his bar of chocolate, Sumit said when he grew up, he wanted to go to Harvard. Rahul was duly impressed hear this and said that he would have to study hard. In his typical style Sumit replied that his father would have to work hard.

Explanation:

The whole dialogue in the passage is told using reported speech. In other words,<u> it is the narrator who tells us what the characters said, rather than the characters themselves</u>. When using the reported speech, the verb tense often changes into the past. Take a look at the example below:

- Direct speech: Lana said, "I <u>want</u> to be a lawyer."

- Reported speech: Lana said that she wanted to be lawyer.

For that reason, when completing the passage above, it is better if we choose options that use the past instead of the present. We must also pay attention to coherence. If an option mixes both present and past, it is most likely incorrect. Having that in mind, the best way to complete the passage is by using the following:

when he grew up, he wanted

that he would have to study hard

father would have to work hard
