In the opening scene, death is trying to gain the reader's trust by talking to him/her as if it were a human being. The reader becomes confused at the beginning and then starts to accept the fact that death is a natural occurrence.
Death is showing the reader that it was very busy during World War II.
By the end of this scene, death managed to introduce itself as a main character and a reliable narrator for the book.

Blizzard [7]
The antecedent of a pronoun is basically the noun that a pronoun replaces, AKA the noun that the pronoun refers to.  It should be somewhere before the pronoun in the sentence.  In the sentence "Strikers will return to work when the union representative has completed their name negotiation," the pronoun is "their."  Whose name negotiation is being completed?  The strikers.  This could read, "Strikers will return to work when the union representative has completed THE STRIKERS' name negotiation."  That works!  So, the pronoun "their" refers to the strikers.

Answer: strikers

Descriptive essay on lights out<br><br>​
vesna_86 [32]

Electricity today is a very important source of life. Almost all life activities depend on electricity. Power cuts or power outages cause some activities to stop. Power outages are caused by other electrical activities, of course, which have the same path. For example, the installation of several towers or power poles, time-consuming cable repairs. In addition, there are causes outside of electrical activity, namely the occurrence of fire disasters. To avoid things that are not desirable, of course, must be quick to respond to this by turning off electricity en masse. What can happen, of course, is that neither party benefits.
