nce, choose "No improvement was made." Original sentence: The dishes were piled on the table that needed washing. Revised sentence: The dishes that were piled on the table needed washing. The antecedent was repeated. The pronoun was placed nearer the antecedent. The sentence was rewritten. An intensive pronoun was inserted after the ambiguous pronoun. No improvement was made.

The original sentence used the pronoun in a wrong way - the way that sentence is written, it would seem that the table needed washing, and not the dishes. The revised sentence fixes this mistake by placing the pronoun nearer the antecedent.
An antecedent is a word or a phrase which is located in front of the pronoun (ante means before) and which that pronoun refers to. The pronoun here is 'that,' and its antecedent is 'the dishes.' So by moving the pronoun 'that' nearer the antecedent 'the dishes' we fixed the ambiguous sentence.

Which of these is a good example of the author's use of dialogue to build suspense?
True [87]

The dialogue which is a good example of the author's use of dialogue to build suspense is, “You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed.”

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

Many a times, authors make use of words or dialogue to create a suspense in the minds of readers, as in it makes a person curious or anxious to known about the uncertainty of what happened or might happen. The dialogue ‘You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed’ is taken from a short story ‘The Cask of Amontillado’ written by Edgar Poe. This dialogue builds suspense in a sense that the words ‘as once I was’ makes a reader anxious about what might have happened in a narrator’s life that he’s no more happy. The dialogue leaves space for uncertainty of the events that took place.

choli [55]

Answer:

A). Such as teaching students to solve problems creatively.

Explanation:

As per the question, the first option most <u>appropriately revises the italicized part of the sentence by replacing the phrase 'think better' with 'to solve problems creatively</u>.' The given effect('helping students to think better') of musical training is contextually incorrect as music improves the creative skills of the students. As per the context of the sentence, the change of diction from not only helps in clarifying the idea to the legislature but also in persuading them conveniently. Therefore, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
