Reread lines 94-122. Describe the relationship between Gilbert and his father. (Is the relationship strong, complicated, etc?) S
Fittoniya [83]

Gilbert's relation with his father is strong, though it may be presented as complicated, as his father used to stay away at the sea for the majority of the time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the story, "Another Place, Another Time", Gilbert is presented as a young boy, who despises time, as it is time which comes in the way of his father and him. His father stays away at the sea for long and Gilbert has to spend that time just waiting.

When his father dies, he again blames time as he wants all the time back which he spent with his father.

Hence, it is these incidents that represent that he has a strong bond with his father.

You have been asked to write an essay about the checks and balances of political power in the United States federal government.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation: This is the only answer that explains exactly what the essay is about. A and D only talk about one branch, not all three. If you use A or D as a topic sentence the reader will think the essay is only about one branch. B talks about the different names of the federal government , not the branches themselves which may lead the reader to think that the essay is about the different names of the federal government.
