Answer:

C

Explanation:

Even if we don't know the meaning of the word mercenaries, we have a context clue in the form of a synonym/restatement, which is "hired professional soldiers," i.e., the very definition of what a mercenary is. The fact that the noun phrase "hired professional soldiers" follows "mercenaries" after a comma and is in plural form too helps find this context clue.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the B) Players often return to a game after a head injury—they.

Explanation: By using a dash or specifically an "em-dash" ( — ) at the end of the sentence, the writer is clarifying or amplifying the information that he or she has already provided (that players often return to a game after a head injury). Options C and D are grammatically incorrect, so they should be discarded. Furthermore, since the two sentences ("players..." and "they do not want...") are not independent, the use of a semicolon (option A) should also be discarded.

Mashcka [7]

Konichiwa~! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this marvelous day. The answer to your question is C; Normalcy. It wouldn't be communism because that would be the hatred or murderous intent for the foreigners. It isn't Liberalism because that would be the curiosity of the foreigners. And it isn't democracy because then the foreigners would be political.

I hope that this helps! :3
