Jim Powell was a Jelly-bean. Much as I desire to make him an appealing character, I feel that it would be unscrupulous to deceiv

e you on that point. He was a bred-in-the-bone, dyed-in-the-wool, ninety-nine three-quarters per cent Jelly-bean and he grew lazily all during Jelly-bean season, which is every season, down in the land of the Jelly-beans well below the Mason-Dixon line. Judging from the context, "unscrupulous" here means...
A) controlling
B) cruel
C) fascinating
D) unfair

Is “After the election is over, I will call you with results, and hopefully, our candidate will have won.” a complex or compound
Lorico [155]

Answer:

A compound-complex sentence

Explanation:

A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of an independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

A compound-complex sentence is a sentence that consists of at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause.

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence, which means that it must contain a subject and a predicate and express a complete thought.

A dependent clause can contain a subject and a predicate but does not express a complete thought, which is why it can't stand alone as a sentence.

There are two independent clauses in the given sentence:

  • I will call you with results.
  • Our candidate will have won.

And there is one dependent clause:

  • After the election is over...

That is why this sentence is a compound-complex sentence.

Match each summary to the paragraph that it summarizes. (A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift)
polet [3.4K]

The correct matching of the summary to the given paragraphs are:

4. It is sad to see so many poor families begging in the streets.- Paragraph 1

5, A newborn child does not cost much to raise for the first year. My plan will affect those over that age; they will not only no longer be a financial burden but will actually contribute to the needs of the family.- Paragraph 3

<h3>What is a Modest Proposal?</h3>

This refers to the satirical piece by Jonathan Swift where he talked about the hardship in the town and how people should eat their children to satiate hunger.

Hence, the other matchings are:

6. My calculations show that my plan needs to affect only 120,000 children whose needs are not being met by current methods. - Paragraph 5

7. My solution is not just for beggar children but for all children and families that are having difficulty surviving. - Paragraph 6

8. I, therefore, put forth my own solution. - Paragraph 2

1. There is such a large (and increasing) number of the poor that anyone who can find a workable solution should be honored. -Paragraph 4

2. My plan would reduce the money spent on abortions and the shame. - Paragraph 7

3. Twelve-year-old children cannot be sold for enough money to make a profit (compared to the cost of raising them to that age). - Paragraph 8

Which statement best explains the relationship among the three facts A the Meyer and Astec highly valued a bitter chocolate drin
DaniilM [7]

The question is incomplete, and the full version can be found on Brainly

Answer: Chocolate is sweeter today, but it has been popular for a long time because it makes people feel good.

Explanation:

Option 3 is the one that BEST explains the relationship among the facts that the Maya and Aztec valued a bitter chocolate drink, that today the entire world eats sugary chocolate, and that chocolate makes people feel good.

The first option incorrectly states that sugar has replaced the chemicals in chocolate as the element that makes people feel good. The second option incorrectly states that the chocolate eaten by the Maya and Aztecs could not make people feel good due to the lack of sugar. The fourth option incorrectly states that the Maya and Aztec would have liked chocolate more if it was made with sugar.
