This is a metaphor that likens the west riding men to sleuth-hounds, or, as they're better known, bloodhounds. bloodhounds are known for their determination and their extraordinary ability to track by scent. by saying that the west riding men are bloodhounds chasing after money, the author is attempting to paint a picture in your mind of the men being deadset on finding the object they're tracking, similar to a dog tracking a scent.

Which of the following is a traditional, and perhaps inaccurate or misleading
olga55 [171]

Answer:

A. Writing that is a product of a writer's imagination, and an invention instead of actual fact or history

Explanation:

Option A is the correct answer.

It is the traditional, and perhaps inaccurate or misleading  idea, of what nonfiction writing is.

Nonfiction writing is the type of writing that has to do with actual and factual events or situations that written to inform or inspire readers. Fiction writing is the writing that has to do with the imagination. It is usually unreal and non-factual.  

Saying that nonfiction is the writing that is a product of the writer's imagination is misleading and inaccurate.

Read the text below and answer the question that follows.
Alexxx [7]
D) Subject is the element necessary to complete the sentence above.
You already have a predicate (drives), so you don't need that, or a subordinate/independent clause. What you do need is a subject. For example:
<em>Mercedes </em>drives like no other car.
