Basile [38]4 years ago

The sentence that best corrects the original one is option 3) “Noticing that the patio table had been turned over by the storm, Anton flipped it back on its feet.”

In this option, we make it clear that the doer of the action (flipping back the table) is Anton and in the original sentence is not mentioned.

The first option is incorrect since it says that the storm flipped back the chair instead of Anton.

Option number two is also incorrect since the meaning is not clear, especially the 2nd part of the sentence.

And the last option is also incorrect because it uses the passive voice in both parts of the sentence, when it should be using acting voice in the 2nd part, making emphasis on the doer of the action (Anton) rather than on the action itself.

Answer:

The correct answer is the third one. Noticing that the patio table had been turned over by the storm, Anton flipped it back on its feet.

Explanation:

The remaining sentences give the idea that the patio table flipped back on its feet on its own, or that it was already turned over and the storm flipped it back or vice versa.

Write an essay on the telephone
nignag [31]

<em>I GOT THIS FROM A SITE CALLED http://www.preservearticles.com/201104306064/short-essay-on-telephone.html                                                                                                           </em>Modern man enjoys a number of wonderful gifts of science. The telephone is one of them. It is the quickest means of conveying messages from one place to another. After the invention of this instrument, man has conquered time and space.

The telephone was invented by Graham Bell. The mechanical device of telephone is very simple. In every telephone set there is a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends the voice of the speaker to the listener.

The receiver receives the voice of the speaker. The two telephone sets are connected by wires. If the wires are detached anywhere, the communication is hampered. Nowadays, the use of wires has been replaced by the micro­wave telephone system. Mobile telephone is the latest development of the telephone system.

The telephone is very useful. It helps all kinds of people beginning from merchants to doctors and lawyers. The latest information about the price and stock of the commodity in market can be available through telephone.

Monopoly in business can be checked. Price can be controlled. The police have telephones in their offices and houses. They receive immediate information about any crime or criminal. They keep contacts, with different police stations in order to catch a culprit. The telephone set is very helpful in the Fire Brigade Office. As soon as information about a fire accident reaches this office through telephone, the fire brigade runs to the accident spot and checks fire.

Now-a-days, the telephone has widely spread. This facility has been extended to the villages. There was a time when the telephone set-was regarded as a sign of aristocracy. But today it has become a necessary object in every family. If the members of a family are staying in different places they can sit at their tea-time and talk with. Each other through telephone. It seems then. That the family members are staying together at one peace.

At present, computerised STD facility has improved a lot. Every place in the country and abroad is contacted through a code number. Different places have different code numbers. Computerisation of telephone has simplified the system a lot.

Compare “Design” and “Fire and Ice”. How are these two poems by Robert Frost similar? How are they different? Can you tell that
ryzh [129]

Plato Answer:

Both poems raise questions. "Fire and Ice" questions the destructive nature of human emotions and their capacity for destruction. "Design" questions the existence of fate or “intelligent design." However, the poems are very different in their style and structure. "Fire and Ice" is a single-stanza poem with nine lines and an uneven meter. "Design," on the other hand, follows a Petrarchan sonnet's structure and is primarily written in iambic pentameter. Because the topics and the styles in both poems are so different, it’s hard to tell if they were written by the same poet.
