Answer:

B. After everyone flew out of the auditorium, Gabe and Brian were left alone together.

Explanation:

An oxymoron is a combination of two words that seem to be contradictory.

In B, we see two words 'alone together' that are contradictory.

<em>Alone</em> means 'by oneself, without anyone else.' <em>Together</em> means 'with another person or people'. This is an oxymoron.

Read the following paragraph from the introduction [paragraphs 1-3].
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Swarbrick is young compared with other parliamentarians, and she feels that the older generation cannot understand the threat of global warming.

Explanation:

The given passage is from the text titled <em>"OK, boomer, " retorts lawmaker to heckler during climate change meeting </em>.

It tells about Chlöe Swarbrick's speech in the New Zealand Parliament. Bringing the attention of the rest of the parliament to an important issue, climate change, she mentions her age, emphasizing that it will be the younger generations who will be dealing with the consequences of global warming, not most of the members of the parliament, who will no longer be its members in a couple of decades. They do not understand the threat of global warming, which is why they are not paying attention to it, despite the fact they should.

This is why the third option is the correct one.

Read the following selection from Act II of Romeo and Juliet. What does the line in bold most likely mean?
OLga [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is plenty of evidence that Romeo and Juliet's love for one another is immature, at least at first. Romeo claims to be madly in love with another woman, Rosaline, at the start of the play.

Correct option is A.

In the portion shown, a nurse, most likely Julie's acquaintance, is conversing with Romeo to determine whether his love is genuine and to warn him. The nurse explains to Romeo that she wants him to truly love her, as seen by "if ye should lead her into a fool's paradise

As they say it would be a most nasty form of behavior" because the nurse wonders if Romeo loves Julio or is just playing with her by "leading her into fool's paradise." She also mentions that this would be a "really disgusting kind of behavior. "If you are not true to Juliet, you are behaving very terribly, says the choice that paraphrases the idea of the bolded part.

Lilly took her brother Joe to the playground. Another little boy arrived at the playground with his mother. The boy started play
olasank [31]

Answer:

The teeter-totter was shared by the boys.

Explanation:

Passive voice is when the object of the sentence becomes the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence then receives the action instead of doing it. Passive voice always includes a form of the verb 'to be' and a particle of the main verb. In the case of the last sentence, the teeter-totter is the object/subject. "Was" is the past tense form of the verb "to be." Shared is the past particle of the verb "share."

So basically, the breakdown is like this:

The teeter-totter  +   was       +   shared by   +  the boys.

       object          past tense    past particle      subject

                            of the verb    of the verb

                               'to be'             'share'

All the other sentences are in active voice as the subject is doing the action. "Lilly took", "Little boy arrived", "The boy started playing" all have the subject in front of the verb.  

Hope this helps. :)
