Answer: E

Explanation: A) "news" is singular so "were" should be singular, i.e. "was"

B) redundant, unnecessary

C) plural/singular subject/verb concordance

D) "in order" is wordy, redundant and unnecessary. "in addition" is used improperly. Although this does have the correct structure of the idiomatic "in addition to", it is used incorrectly. "in addition to" should begin a phrase/complete thought; should start a sentence, right after conjunction or comma.

E) active tense, bypassing plural/singular agreement problem; this is tricky! Correct, concise sentence. If you have issues with modifier "by swift messenger", this is modifying "four days". e.g. the mail took four days by post to arrive. "by post" lets us know what type of mailing method took four days.

Can someone help me write a poem about school?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

We are seen as people who can be taugh,

Learning things about what we once will face,

I never took it seriously, but at the thought,

I wrinkle my nose, cause I know I must stop,

The thought they take over, my mouth it won't stop,

I need a better filter, and some coffee now brought,

Sip on the bitterness, Add more to yourself,

It feels like we're all loney and live under a rock,

I go to my next class, but now am currently stopped,

I hold my breath until the words are to be said,

You are expelled the women had read,

The way you treat others is something we frown upon,

Nothing can be changed about this decision,

I think it would be better if you could be taught somewhere else,

Because you make this place for others a living hell,

The news was something that I wasn't prowd of,

and now I'm locked in a corner and crowded

but it was to late, everyone had known,

and this is when my real thoughts had been shown,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I did it for attention,

I know all the days that have been wasted and ruiend

My actions aren't harmless and to everyone they effect,

Please let me stay I'll keep myself in check.

He thought this would work but the dicision was final,

No excuse was to fix the childen and their feelings,

and the whispers of karma are now yelling,

He feels like he's falling and regrets all his tellings,

but he won't say anything, he heads back to class.

Covers his face, and begins walk a little fast,

the jelousy is deserved he thought to himself,

but after all who s to blame, no-one but myself.

(this is only for the student that asked for help. The poems I write, are taken seriously don't sopy right)
