According to "The Veldt" by Ray BradBury...


Answer to the First Question: Assuming the inflated value of $9 still applies to the time of this answer, today the Happylife Home System would have a price of $270,000 dollars, since:

30,000 x 9 = 270,000


Answer to the Second Question: There would be a market for this system as long as the governments approve of the risks implicated.

Anyone aware of the system's capabilites would not think twice about purchasing one - provided they could afford it -. The fact that a machine could do any chore of daily life, as well as provide simulated entertainment with no boundaries is simply irresistible to anyone. <u>The benefits are worth the price.</u>

The customers would not worry about the dangers at first; they would consider themselves responsible enough to manage a balanced life of luxuries.

A. Circle the correct verb. Follow the example in number 1.
irga5000 [103]

Greetings.

The answers are:

1. are

2. translates

3. have

4. takes

5. wants

6. makes

7. serve

8. gives

Explanation:

Whenever the noun is a singular, we add "s" and "es". That includes the pronoun such as He, She and It.

However, if the noun is plural, we don't do anything with the verb. That includes I, You, We and They.

Adding "s" or "es" for singular depends the verb itself. Some verbs add "es", some add "s".

The verbs that add "es" are mostly end with these letters or vowels.

X, CH, SH, O

For example,

Watch —> Watches

Wash —> Washes

Go —> Goes
