Answer:
Victor pretends to study because he <u>thinks it will hide him from the stares of other students.</u>
Explanation:
The given question refers to a short story<em> Seventh Grade</em> written by Gary Soto. It tells about a boy named Victor trying to impress the girl he likes, Teresa. During lunchtime, he realizes she isn't near and thinks she might be outside. He goes there, and while trying to spot her, pretends that he is studying math. He is simply staring at the book while looking around from time to time, attempting to find her. The paragraph that shows us this is the following:
<em>He lowered his eyes, pretending to study, then looked slowly to the left. No Teresa. He turned a page in the book and stared at some math problems that scared him because he knew he would have to do them eventually. He looked at the right. Still no sign of her. He stretched out lazily in an attempt to disguise his snooping. </em>
Based on this, we can conclude that he is pretending to study because he thinks it will hide him from the stares of other students.

- criticize protestants who abandoned their country.
Explanation:
This question is incomplete. The complete question is the following:
<em>(From "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift)</em>
<em>For first, as I have already observed, it would greatly lessen the number of Papists, with whom we are yearly over-run, being the principal breeders of the nation, as well as our most dangerous enemies, and who stay at home on purpose with a design to deliver the kingdom to the Pretender, hoping to take their advantage by the absence of so many good Protestants, who have chosen rather to leave their country, than stay at home and pay tithes against their conscience to an episcopal curate.</em>
1.The "principal breeders" of the nation refer to ______.
2.In the last line, the writer talks about the "good Protestants" to ______.
1.
- nonworking population
- the catholic population in poverty
- young men and women in poverty
- foreigners living in ireland
2.
- mock the protestants for paying tithes(compulsory donations).
- criticize the growing influence of the catholic population.
- highlight the sufferings of Irish protestants.
- criticize protestants who abandoned their country.
In the first case, the author refers to "principal breeders." By saying this, he is referring to people who have most of the babies in the nation. In "A Modest Proposal," these are identified to be Irish Catholics. Swift also refers to them as "papist," due to the the Pope being the head of the Catholic Church. Therefore, he is referring to the Catholic population in poverty.
In the second case, Swift is talking about "good Protestants" who leave their country because they cannot tolerate the idea of staying at home and dealing with the nation's problems. Swift says "good Protestants" in an ironic way, as his purpose is to criticize such a defeatist attitude. Therefore, we know that the author talks about good Protestants in order to criticize people who have abandoned their country.
The correct answer is "Few in the band have learned all of their music yet". When a verb agrees with its pronoun subject, it needs to sound natural. "Neither" and "either" always agree with a verb in singular form, and "anybody" agrees with a verb in the singular form as well.
Although you can use it, it isn't widely used as it perceived as a lack of imagination or a lack of art. But if you give me more context into the stanza, I will be more than happy to help you out!
