Answer: B. A sumo wrestler near the top of the elite pyramid may earn millions of dollars.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics we can see the explanation of how the ranking in sumo wrestling works, and how there is an elite pyramid of the sixty-six highest-ranked wrestlers in Japan who are treated like royalty and may earn millions of dollars a year, while the wrestlers that aren't in the elite are treated like servants by their superiors, this situation might incentive a sumo wrestler to cheat.

Answer:

1. The Boston <u>Marathon</u> is an annual 26-mile race.

2. Many <u>runners</u> come from all over the world to this event.

3. The <u>race</u> begins in a suburb of Boston.

4. The <u>course</u> takes runners around the Massachusetts countryside.

5. The night before the race, many <u>runners</u> eat pasta dinners.

6. These <u>carbohydrates</u> give the runners energy and stamina.

7. During the race, many <u>runners </u>hit "the wall" after 20 miles.

8. Some <u>racers</u> are stopped by this phenomenon.

9. Approximately 6,000 <u>people</u> enter the competition each year.

10. Despite the tension and exhaustion, many <u>contestants </u>return again and...

Explanation:

I have <u>underlined</u> the simple subjects and bolded the simple predicates within the given sentences.

A simple subject is the most important word within the complete subject. It's a noun or a pronoun. For example, the complete subject in the 2nd sentence is <em>Many runners</em>, but the most important word within it is <em>runners</em>, which makes it the simple subject.

A simple predicate is the main part, a verb, of the complete predicate. A complete predicate includes all the descriptors besides the verb (e.g. The <u>race</u> begins in a suburb of Boston), but the simple predicate is just the verb (begins).

Recall a "first" in life: the birth of your first baby sibling, your first time driving, the first birthday party you remember,
Triss [41]

Answer:

   The first time I drove my uncles 1962 black Chevrolet corvette with red velvet seats, I felt honored. It was the best feeling to have my hands on the wheel, finally steering. I was driving down an old back road with the wind blowing. It was approximately 78 degrees outside. But none of that mattered at the moment, it was all about what I would do after I pulled back in the driveway.

   As I turned on my turning signal. My uncle stood on the porch and greeted me. He told me that he'd been expecting me to wreck or chip the paint. I laughed in amusement at him not having enough faith in me. Life is but a breeze so we need to learn how to live it correctly. I'm glad my first time driving wasn't as chaotic as he assumed it would've been.
