Answer:

(D) The verb should be are because a compound subject joined by and always requires a plural form of the verb.

Explanation:

A compound subject consists of two or more simple subjects that share a verb or verb phrase. These subjects are joined by a conjunction such as and, or, or nor, etc.

Since the two objects mentioned ( i.e window fans and air conditioner) are two different objects that cannot be combined to be one, the sentence is a plural compound sentence and not a singular compound sentence. "Are" is the appropriate conjunction to use.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A compound subject is a subject made up of two or more simple subjects that are joined by a coordinating conjunction and have the same predicate.

Verb = doing word/word that represents action

Predicate = state, affirm or assert something about the subject of a sentence.

Subject = person, place, thing etc. in a sentence.

Conjunction = used to connect words, phrases, clauses or sentences.

Coordinating conjunction = conjunction placed between words, phrases, clauses and sentences of equal rank eg. and/but/or.

In this case fans and air conditioner are subjects and even though they are both singular, now that they are joined by the word "and", they are now part of a plural structure. as a result the plural verb "are" has to be used in this sentence.

Historia de cristobal colon en voz pasiva
natulia [17]

Answer:

Cristóbal Colón fue un marino y colonizador genovés que, al servicio de los Reyes Católicos de España, realizó cuatro viajes a través del Océano Atlántico, que despertaron el interés en Europa por un nuevo continente, más tarde llamado América. Estas expediciones y los esfuerzos de Colón por establecer asentamientos permanentes en La Española iniciaron la colonización española, que resultó en una competencia entre las potencias europeas para colonizar América del Sur y del Norte.

En un momento en que comenzó la dominación mundial europea y la competencia entre los reinos europeos, que intentaban enriquecerse estableciendo rutas comerciales y colonias, la propuesta de Colón de llegar a Asia circunnavegando la Tierra hacia el oeste recibió el apoyo de la corte real española, que vio esperanza para el comercio de especias. Durante su primer viaje en 1492, Colón llegó a las costas de las Bahamas en lugar del Japón planeado y aterrizó en un lugar que llamó San Salvador. Durante otras tres expediciones, visitó las Antillas Mayores y Menores, las costas de Venezuela y Centroamérica, que tomó para el Imperio español.

El deterioro de las relaciones con la corte real española y los administradores coloniales en América llevó al arresto y destitución de Colón como gobernador de La Española en 1500 y luego prolongó las disputas sobre los beneficios que Colón quería para él y sus herederos de la corte real. Al final, logró superar solo algunos de ellos. Murió en Valladolid y sus restos se encuentran ahora en la Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Sevilla.
