The correct answer is D. The children giggled at the elephants sprouting plums of water through their trunks.

That is the only option that makes it absolutely clear which words the modifier really modifies (elephants). The A and C examples make it sound as if the children had trunks and sprouted plums of water through them. The B example makes it clear that it's the elephants that we're talking about, but it doesn't work well in terms of syntax. Only the last option is well structured and clear.

Dear Teo,

Just like me, you are suffering government intervention in our right to walk in the city. The epidemic took us by surprise, didn't it? 2020 is being a peculiar year now that we have to be trapped inside the house with our families all the time, because our biggest and deadliest enemy is lurking outside and who would say that such a dangerous enemy would be so small, a virus. It is ironic when I think about it.

However, I understand that this government intervention in our freedom to go where we want is necessary. We must have the responsibility of not helping the corobavirus to proliferate and we must also be careful not to pass it on to our families or to overburden hospitals. Although the lack of freedom bothers me, I understand my responsibility in this event and I hope you understand too.

What makes me sad is that even seeing the seriousness of the situation many people disrespect and pretend that nothing is happening, it will prolong our "prison" at home and could harm many people.

I hope you found ways to have fun and write to me soon, as we have plenty of time now.

Kind regards.

what impact did christopher columbus and his men have once they came to the americas? i need help with an essay so a longish ans
damaskus [11]

Answer:

  Mestizos, encomienda, and the Columbian trade: Europeans, Africans, and the peoples of the Americas all felt the effects of Columbus's discovery. When Columbus stepped ashore, he merged and clashed with two distinct ecosystems. This experience with Columbian trading lasted for centuries after 1492. Thousands of Aztec Indians perished.

  The population of Taino Indigenous people in Hispaniola decreased from a million to a few hundred within fifty years after the advent of the Spanish. The "heathen lands" of the Americas were divided by the Treaty of Tordesillas, which united Spain and Portugal. Native Americans might be "committed" or given to select colonists in exchange for a pledge to attempt to convert them to Christianity.

  Mestizos have developed their own unique cultural identity over the last several centuries. To this day, Mexico's people are torn between pride and ambivalence about their country's unique fusion of the Old and the New Worlds. Columbus' landing in the Americas had a wide range of effects. To name a few: the Columbian Exchange, the Encomienda System, the Mestizo Culture, the Destruction of the Aztec Empire, and many more. Plants, animals, microorganisms, and humans were all transported over the Atlantic as part of the Columbian Exchange.

  Now Columbus landed, two ecosystems clashed, sparking the Columbian trade. Encomienda permitted the government to give her Native Americans to specific colonists in exchange for their efforts to convert them to Christianity. More than death and conquest, the Spanish brought mestizos into being. They brought fruits, livestock, their culture, and religion, and so forth... As a result, Columbus' presence in the Americas had both beneficial and detrimental repercussions.

He wanted to show the conflict between two ideas going on inside him.

<h3>What is a conflict?</h3>

A conflict in literature is a struggle between two ideas or two positions that are at variance with each other.

The voices of education mostly highlighted the need to follow societal expectations while the voice in him stood for the need for self-preservation.
