Answer:

I believed that the word in bold is Soiled, and you can know the definition because the context that the sentence gives you. And the word´s position suggests that "soiled" is used as a noun.

Explanation:

The soil is a synonym of dirt. A synonym is a way to express the same with other words, it is used to avoid repetition throughout a sentence, and in literature to make the reading more interesting.

I hope this answer helps you.

With the rising cost of college, many people are exploring apprenticeships as an alternative path for acquiring the skills neces

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Although attending college seems to be a necessity for a successful career and life, it may not be true as there is an alternative path within apprenticeship that gives people practical knowledge and skills much faster and provides them with great job opportunities at a much lower cost.

Explanation:

As we can see in the sources, there are many reasons why a person might opt for an apprenticeship rather than attending a college, some of which include lower cost (we all know how expensive US universities are) and getting paid immediately during the apprenticeship itself.

In Laura's example, she is at least three years ahead of her friends who are attending a law school simply by having a job already in which she can gain practical, as well as theoretical knowledge, while also being paid, whereas they will study theoretical things with little to no practice for years, then have difficulties finding a job, and when (or if) they do, they will need additional years of practice to get to her level.

Another example is Switzerland, which has a mixed system of education + apprenticeships, after which students are fully capable of performing the work they have been studying for, resulting in a very low unemployment rate among the young.

We also see that the governments are acknowledging the importance of apprenticeship and that not everyone is interested or can afford attending college. They are investing in apprenticeships and vocational schools in the US to encourage young people to explore this alternative path - around $265 million has already been allocated in Washington to spur these programs.

Scrooge is the only character who speak in the scene which details show that the spirit is affected by what by what Scrooge says

AfilCa [17]

<span>This happens in the scenes with the Ghost of Christmas Future. The spirit never speaks but Scrooge seems to understand it through assumptions from his experiences and through rhetorical questions. Even when this tale is done in a satirical nature, this spirit has always retained its original look due to it representing what the future will be if Scrooge does not make personal changes.</span>

Questions 1–9: Identify the conjunctions in the following sentences. Label each one as coordinating, correlative, or subordinati

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Your answer would be as follows:

1) Coordinating conjunction (but)

2) Coordinating conjunction (and)

3) Subordinating conjunction (provided that)

4) Subordinating conjuction (because) and correlative conjunction (either or)

5) Subordinating conjunction (if)

6) Subordinating conjunction (unless)

7) Correlative conjunction (both ... and ...)

8) Subordinating conjuntion (since)

9) Subordinating conjunction (although)

10) Wow, what are we going to do ? (wow)

11) Goodness, we'll have to wait for Ann Marie (goodness)

12)Well, why did you do such a thing? (well)

13) Oh Elizabeth!, please forgive me (oh)

14) Oh forget it, we're late already (oh)

Explanation:

A conjunction is a word that joins words, phrases, clauses or sentences. There are three types of conjunctions: coordinating, correlative, or subordinating.

Coordinating conjunctions join words, phrases or clauses which have similar grammatical structure (1; 2). On the contrary, subordinating conjunctions join a subordinate (dependent clause) to a main (independent clause). This is the case of 3; 4; 5; 6; 8 and 9. Finally, correlative conjunctions are paired words since they join words, phrases or clauses which have a reciprocal or complementary relationship (4; 7).

As regards the second part of the question, an interjection is a word or phrase which is grammatically independent fron the words around it, and expresses feeling rather than meaning. As you can see (10; 12; 13 & 14), the interjections in the sentences are all set off with commas from the rest of the sentences. The word following the comma shall not begin with a capital letter because the interjection and this word are part of the same sentence.
