The answer is the first option: a serpent whose poisonous body had covered an entire hillside and had required a thousand arrows to kill it.

For a structure to present parallelism, it has to repeat a certain grammatical form inside the sentence. Option a is the only option that presents such repetition. It is talking about the serpent's poisonous body and the two grammatical structures that come after that have the same structure: Past Perfect Tense.

It is as if two sentences were combined into one to avoid repetition:

A serpent whose poisonous body had covered an entire hillside.

                                                  +

A serpent whose poisonous body had required a thousand arrows to kill it.

                                                 =

A serpent whose poisonous body had covered an entire hillside and had required a thousand arrows to kill it.

Note: The third option (or option c) is incorrect because it says "requiring", not "required".

Answer:

Explanation:

"I didn't do nothing" as a double negative gives the meaning of a weakened affirmative in standard English. It is equivalent to “I did something”. "I didn't do nothing" may retain its negative meaning when it is sometimes used in non-standard or informal English

Write a letter to the press and complain about lack of service delivery in your area​
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Here is a simple way to write a good letter to the press.

Explanation:

Reporting Your Complaint to a Business

When you are trying to resolve a complaint against a company, the first step should always be to discuss your concerns with a representative of the business. Try to speak with the manager or owner, and follow up by sending a certified letter confirming all the details of your conversation.  Request a return postal receipt so that you will have proof of the letter’s delivery; and keep records of all communications between yourself and the business, including phone calls, letters, faxes or e-mails.

Below you will find an example of a letter you can use to send to the business. If you are following up on a previous conversation, be sure to restate any assurances that were made to you at that time.
