Answer:

D

Explanation:

A participle is a verb that acts as an adjective. Dark, billowing clouds often are signs of a bad storm on the way is the ONLY sentence that has an adjective in it. Hope this helps!

Answer:

D) Dark, billowing clouds often are signs of a bad storm on the way.

Explanation:

The present particle refers to an adjective which derives from a verb and contains the ending <em>-ing</em>. As a result, the adjective <em>billowing</em>, which means filled with air and distended outward, is in the present participle form.

The rest of the options are incorrect because the<em> -ing</em> forms are gerunds and gerund phrases, which function as nouns and objects, not adjectives.

The inference is that the authors main purpose is this selection was to C. give information about an experiment on cooperation.

<h3>What is an inference?</h3>

It should be noted that an inference simply means the conclusion that can be deduced based on the information given in a story.

In this case, it was stated that scientific journals are filled with research showing how humans are programmed to compete fiercely and act selfishly in many situations.

Despite this, scientists had not been able to explain why we ever feel compelled to do good deeds, play fair, and cooperate with one another. Put another way, why are people nice so much of the time.

Therefore, the inference is that the authors main purpose is this selection was to give information about an experiment on cooperation.

Summerize “The Beginnings of the Maasai.”
hram777 [196]

The Maasai are thought of as the typical cattle herders of Africa, yet they have not always been herders, nor are they all today. Because of population growth, development strategies, and the resulting shortage of land, cattle raising is in decline. However, cattle still represent "the breath of life" for many Maasai. When given the chance, they choose herding above all other livelihoods. For many Westerners, the Maasai are Hollywood's "noble savage"—fierce, proud, handsome, graceful of bearing, and elegantly tall. Hair smeared red with ochre (a pigment), they either carry spears or stand on one foot tending cattle. These depictions oversimplify Maasai life during the twentieth century. Today, Maasai cattle herders may also be growing maize (corn) or wheat, rearing Guinea fowl, raising ostriches, or may be hired by ecologists to take pictures of the countryside.

Prior to British colonization, Africans, Arabs, and European explorers considered the Maasai formidable warriors for their conquests of neighboring peoples and their resistance to slavery. Caravan traders traveling from the coast to Uganda crossed Maasailandwith trepidation. However, in 1880–81, when the British unintentionally introduced rinderpest (a cattle disease), the Maasai lost 80 percent of their stock. The British colonizers further disrupted Maasai life by moving them to a reserve in southern Kenya. While the British encouraged them to adopt European ways, they also advised them to retain their traditions. These contradictions resulted, for the most part, in leaving the Maasai alone and allowed them to develop almost on their own. However, drought, famine, cattle diseases, and intratribal warfare (warfare among themselves) in the nineteenth century greatly weakened the Maasai and nearly destrtoyed certain tribes.
