The challenges and difficulties of feeding the world's population

Explanation:

Lifeboat Ethics is a metaphor for asset distribution proposed by the ecologist Garrett Hardin in 1974.  

Hardin's metaphor depicts a raft bearing 50 individuals, with space for ten more. The raft is in a sea encompassed by a hundred swimmers. The "morals" of the circumstance originate from the issue of whether swimmers ought to be taken on board the raft.

Sveta_85 [38]
The answers that would complete the sentences are as follows: 
Jose reads the daily paper. This uses the present form of the verb because it denotes a habit. Earl can't go to the game today. This is the contraction of the words can and not. Mia said the movie was good. The past form of the verb is used because the action has been completed. Jeff needs the letter mailed. This sentence uses the -ed form of the verb, but functions as an adjective which describes the noun letter.

What change, if any, should the author make to sentence 8 to correct the problem of subject-verb agreement? A. NO CHANGE B. "Nei
fredd [130]

D. "Neither my friends nor my family cares about me," said Finlay.

In this sentence there are two subjects, "friends" and "family". Since the conjunction "neither...nor" is used, the subject-verb agreement gets a little tricky. If both subjects were singular, as in he or she, the verb must agree with a singular subject. This is because it is either one or the other not both. In this sentence, one subject is plural, friends, and one subject is singular, family. Family is considered a collective noun, so even though there are many people in the family, there is only one family. Since family is closest to the verb and it is singular, "to care" must be in the singular form. Option B and C are wrong because the verbs "were" and "are" are plural verbs.

changing the sentence structure and how quickly events unfold in a story can affect which literary element ​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Changing the sentence structure and how quickly the events unfold in a story will change the pace of the story. When we're changing the speed of how the story progresses from 10 page long descriptions of certain items and things to one page descriptions of a whole week going by, we dramatically influence the speed of the story and with that its pace.
