The correct answer is d) We've chosen two cities to visit: London and Paris

Explanation:

The main purpose of a colon is to introduce a list of elements or a clause that explains a previous sentence. For example, in the sentence "I have three favorite foods: salad, lobster and ice cream" the colon serves to introduce the "three favorite foods". According to this, the colon should be placed after one complete sentence and before a list or an illustration of the sentence.

Thus, the correct option is "We've chosen two cities to visit: London and Paris" because in this case the colon is used to introduce the two cities that were chosen to be visited. Also, the location of this is correct because it is placed after the complete clause "We've chosen two cities to visit" and before a clause that illustrates the first clause.

Mice and Men
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

When Curley's wife came up to them to ask about the whereabouts of her husband, she was met with a derogatory and even accusing manner. The men blamed her for always being out of the house.

This shows the expected way she was supposed to behave and also blamed for the 'disappearance' of Curley. Her opinion doesn't seem to matter to anyone, and everyone seems to believe that she will be happy as long as she stays at home.

Her conversation and getting 'interest' in Lennie in this chapter foreshadows her fate for whatever comes in close contact with Lennie seems to die. Moreover, her 'overarching' need to interfere in the matters of the ranch life, her need to be in the company of these men all lead up to the problems that will come in the next scenes.

Explanation:

John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" revolves around the lives of two men looking for work after the Great Depression. The lives of migrant workers and the conditions that prevail during those times, even though the story occurs within a short time of just 4 days.

In Chapter 4, Curley's wife interrupted the conversation of the men while they were in Crooks' room in the stables. Responding to her question of where Curley might have been, the men replied in a demeaning, derogatory way, which is suggestive of how 'flirty' and 'a bad woman' she was.

By judging the way even the ranch hands think of her, Curley's wife seems to live a life of discomfort, judgment, and controlled by the men around her. When Crooks' advised her to stay in her house, she replied <em>"Think I like to stick in that house  afla time?"</em> This shows her pent-up feelings of what is expected of her and what she really feels.

But at the same time, this scene where she gets too involved in the matters of the men, even despising her own husband to the ranch hands forebodes the tragedy that will befall her. She also 'flirts' with Lennie, which clearly foreshadows her fate, as Lennie seems to 'kill/hurt' whoever/ whatever comes near to him.

Read sentence 13 from the passage.
romanna [79]

Answer:

C. Change "were enough" to "was enough."

Explanation:

In the passage, "were enough" is incorrect because the verb "were" does not agree with the noun "look." The verb "to be" conjugates to "was" in past tense with singular nouns like "look."
