Most nouns ending in y preceded by a consonant form their plurals by changing the y to i and adding -es.

True

Most nouns that end with consonant+y change the y to i and add -es. For example, city-cities, baby-babies, duty-duties, secretary-secretaries. This is not true of words that end in vowel+y. These nouns often just add s. For example, valley-valleys, alley-alleys, monkey-monkeys.

There are many other rules about pluralizing nouns. Most words just add s for the plural form. Some others such as ss, ch, and others that are similar add and es to the word. In a few cases the verb doesn't change forms in their mouth.

What theme of the play Hamlet is apparent in these lines?
Oliga [24]
Hamlet is one of Shakespeare's most troubled characters, and he contemplates on life and death quite a lot. In these lines it is apparent that death is inevitable, it will come for us all no matter who we are. Both Alexander and Caesar were once great men, it seemed it was impossible for them to die. But they did, the same way every living creature will eventually. We will die, and turn to dust, then to earth, and so on. No one can escape that fate, no matter how hard we try. Regardless who you are in life, you will share the same doom with every other creature that once lived.

The four events that must form a clear summary are in the third, fourth, and fifth answer options. Putting these events in the correct order, we have the summary:

<em>"Adrift at sea, Robinson Crusoe realizes he is almost to the shore. The waves pick up Crusoe two more times, but he holds fast to rock and eventually makes it to shore. Crusoe attempts to guide himself to the shore by shooting his hands above the water."</em>

<h3>What is a summary?</h3>
  • It is the re-presentation of a text.
  • It is the shortening of a text.
  • It is the act of highlighting only the most important parts of a text.

With the summary above, we can understand how Crusoe was a good swimmer and how important this was for his survival when he fell into the water and had to swim.
