Answer:

them: I folded them neatly and put them in my drawer.

It: It still looked pretty and new.

Explanation:

The pronoun them might refer to more than one antecedent:

"I found receipts in a few of my jeans. I folded them neatly and put them in my drawer." (The pronoun them might refer to receipts and jeans.)

The pronoun It also might refer to more than one antecedent:

"I found an old box decorated with ribbons and a pink bow. It still looked pretty and new." (The pronoun It might refer to a box and bow.)

So these two pronouns in the paragraph have unclear antecedents.

Best comparison of two poems "the taxi" and "where have you gone"

Tanya [424]

The mention of light in both of these poems show how the protagonists' feel on the object in the story leaving. They are trying to hide, to not be found. Lines 28 to 29 in where have you gone and 8 to 10 in the taxi both show how disconnected they now feel to this other person/object.

Formal letter to the press on the ban on sexual explicit scenes in the television

Dimas [21]

Answer:

G - 6/11,

Los Angeles,

California,

22nd March 2021,

The Editor,

NBC News,

New York,

Subject: Regarding the ban of explicit sexual scenes on television.

Sir,

Through your esteemed news channel, I would like to show concern towards the increased explicitness of television programs in showing sexual scenes. Television is such a means of communication that is watched by every stratum of people, be it kids, students, adults, or even elders. Such an open showcase of intimate scenes not only influences the kids and adolescents but also distracts the adults to go on the wrong path, spoils relationships, affects the sentiments of the elders, and spoils the society as a whole.

Recent reports have shown that these explicit sexual contents leave a desensitized and causal impact on the entire population. Thus, such scenes are required to be banned to show explicitly on national television to prevent such insensitiveness and allowing kids to know things at right time. I request you to kindly throw light upon this issue so that concerned authorities could take necessary actions in this regard.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Georgia.

What is the central idea of from Of Wolves and Men?

REY [17]

Originally Published in 1978, this special twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of the National Book Award finalist includes an entirely new afterword in which the author considers the current state of knowledge about wolves and recent efforts to rein-troduce wolves to their former habitats in American wilderness areas. Humankind's relationship with the wolf is based on a spectrum of responses running from fear to admiration and affection. Lopez's classic, careful study won praise from a wide range of reviewers and went on to improve the way books about wild animals are written. Of Wolves and Men reveals the uneasy interaction between wolves and civilization over the centuries, and the wolf's prominence in our thoughts about wild creatures.
