The correct answer is B. The president has grown tired of waiting

Explanation:

In grammar, a linking verb or copular verb is a type of verb that does not state one action but connects or links the subject of a sentence with the complement of it by describing a relationship between these two elements. Most common linking verbs include verbs such as be, become or seem and other verbs such as look, sound, taste, feel, grow or appear can work as action verbs expressing an action or as linking verbs. Considering this, in the case presented the sentence that contains a linking verb i "The president has grown tired of waiting", because in this sentence the verb "grown" does not express a specific action but links the subject "The president" with the complement "grown tired" to describe the state of the subject. This means in this case the verb does not express a direct action but links the verb and the complement and therefore the verb is a linking verb.

“Whereäs” as an alternative spelling of “whereas”
ra1l [238]
Yes, it seems to be an alternative, in some situations acceptable, but eccentric and not neutral spelling of this word. It accents the fact that "ea" here are two separate vowels rather than a diphthong: that is the function of the  trema (the two dots).

In practice it's not used much, because it's not really necessary: it does not distinguish it from any other word, and trema is not easy to find on English keyboards: so there is no need.

Only the industrious prosper in life - change this sentence into negative
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

There are two ways which we can use to change the sentence from affirmative to negative:

1. Not only the industrious prosper in life.

2. Only the industrious do not prosper in life.

Explanation:

1. If we choose to make the negative this way, the meaning we will convey is that industrious people prosper, but they are not the only ones. Other people can prosper too.

2. On the other hand, if we negate this way, we will completely deny the original affirmation. We will be saying that everyone else prospers in life excerpt for industrious people.

Both ways are grammatically correct, even though they convey different meanings.
