Before giving the answer, I would like to give the definition of what an ellipsis is. It is a series of dots (typically three, such as "…") that usually indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning.

The sentence that uses the ellipses incorrectly is:

D) Researchers reported that they are "...working on devices to assist the

The reason for choosing this sentence is quite simple, it breaks the most important rule of the use of ellipsis: never alter the original meaning of the text or idea.

Besides, by ommiting the word elderly, the sentence loses one of its three main components, the Object ( the elderly), it is indirect object in this case.

4. PART A: Which answer best describes Jim's mother
Kipish [7]

Answer:

E. All of the above

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. Jim’s mother lacks religious faith, whereas the school book mothers are pious.

B. She is neither loving nor devoted to her son, whereas the school book mothers are.

C. She is healthy, whereas the school book mothers are always dying of consumption.

D. She physically hits him, whereas the school book mothers are gentle and affectionate.

E. All of the above

This question refers to the story "The Story of the Bad Little Boy" by Mark Twain. In this story, Twain talks about a boy who was very bad, but who never felt guilty, received a punishment or was particularly unhappy. According to Twain, this shows that the moral stories that we find in "Sunday-school books" do not reflect reality.

One of the elements in the boy's life (Jim) that did not resemble those stories was his mother. Jim's mother was not a sick and pious woman like those often found in such stories. Instead, she was tough, healthy and "stout." Moreover, she was not religious, and she did not worry about Jim in any way. Instead, she cared little for him and physically hit him, spanking him and boxing his ears.
