Which contraction correctly completes the sentence? Wally __________ capable of lifting the heavy box. A. wasn't B. weren't

1 answer:

A. Wasn't.. This is because if you seperatevthe contractioninto two words it is was not, this would make the sentence be "Wally was not capable of lifting the heavy box."
If you were to do the same thing with weren't it would sound like "wally were not capable of lifting the heavy box." This does not make sense because "wally" is singular (so is "was not") and "were not" is pleural.

Hope this helps

QUESTION 1 DOK 2

8090 [49]

Answer:

In fact, Benvolio shows a peaceful temperament, as he tries to prevent fights between Mercutio and the Capulets from happening.

Explanation:

Benvolio and Mercutio are characters in the play "Romeo and Juliet" written by Shakespeare, which tells the story of forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet.

The love between the two is forbidden because they belong to enemy families, Romeo is the son of the Montague family while Juliet is the daughter of the Capulet family.

Benvolio and Mercutio are friends of Romeo and show very different behaviors. Benvolio is very calm and peaceful and tries at all times to avoid fighting for him and even his friends, as you can see when he tries to prevent Mercutio from fighting with Tybalt and other capulets. But all this peacefulness does not convince Mercutio, who claims that Benvolio is as short-tempered as any other man.
