Answer:

The answer is indeed letter D. <u>The sentence contains a typo.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The sentence "Unfortunately, the poor eating habits of parents are often past down to their children" has a misspelled word. "Past" can be a noun, an adjective, a preposition, or even an adverb. In general, it refers to something that happened at a previous moment in history, or it indicates location or a lapse of time.

What happened in this sentence is a common mistake. "Past" has a homophone - another word that sounds just like it, but is spelled and used differently -, "passed", which would have been the correct choice. The sentence uses the passive voice to describe how eating habits are taught. Passive voice requires the past participle form of a verb. In the case of the verb "to pass", it would be "passed". Thus, "Unfortunately, the poor eating habits of parents are often passed down to their children" would have been right.

How do simile and metaphor differ in their approaches to creating experience for a reader?
victus00 [196]
<span>A metaphor can be used to replace one idea with another.  For example, a tsunami can be described as a "wave of destruction" for the damage that it causes.  It implies a comparison.  A simile establishes the comparison of ideas.  An endless torrent of rain flooded the valley like a tsunami.</span>
