Answer:
C. uses a respectful tone to show slavery's effect on slaves and slave owners
Explanation:
Predicate pronoun
A predicate pronoun is any pronoun that is part of the predicate.
A predicate is the part of a sentence that includes the verb and the words following it that relate to that verb.
Examples:
I will call him .
The teacher gave us a history assignment.
Mother made lunch for them .
A sentence may have more than one predicate; for example:
Mother made lunch for them and set it on the picnic table.
A subjective pronoun can be part of a predicate when it is the subject of a clause,; for example:
Mary brought a cake she made for the party .
A subjective pronoun is also used as a subject complement when it follows a linking verb; for example:
The leaders right now are he and I .
I believe the correct answer is: D. The author humanizes the
prion with playful language by saying "[i]f it manages to burrow into a
corner."
In this excerpt from "Mad Cow, Furious Farmer”, the example
in which the author keepings a lively tone even while discussing a disease is:
"[i]f it manages to burrow into a corner."
As opposed to the terminology author uses (such as: bovine
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)), the informal language of more commonly
understandable comparison gives the lively tone to this excerpt, even though he
is addressing the serious disease. Other example of this would be: "a
little bit squishy and maybe a little bit sticky".
