In the off-season, Clemente returned to his homeland, playing winter baseball in the Puerto Rican League, providing baseball cli

nics to young players, and spending time with his family. He headed relief efforts in Puerto Rico after a massive earthquake hit Nicaragua in late December 1972. When Clemente received reports that the Nicaraguan army had stolen relief supplies meant for the people, he decided to accompany the next supply plane. Shortly after takeoff from the San Juan airport on Dec. 31, 1972, the plane crashed, killing Clemente. The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, waived the rule requiring a five-year wait after retirement (or death) before a player could be elected to the Hall, and in July 1973 Clemente was the first player born in Latin America to be inducted into the national baseball shrine. The award presented annually to a Major League Baseball player for exemplary sportsmanship and community service was renamed the Roberto Clemente Award in 1973.
The plot of a narrative inspired by this excerpt would most likely include which of these events?


A- Puerto Rican fans cheered when Clemente hit a home run..

B- Rescue workers saved Clemente after an earthquake in Nicaragua.

C- Clemente purchased baseballs for victims in Puerto Rico.

D- Clemente was inducted into the Nicaraguan Baseball Hall of Fame.

Answer:

D- Clemente was inducted into the Nicaraguan Baseball Hall of Fame.

Explanation:

Eventhough Clemente never played in Nicaragua, he did some great things for the Nicaraguans helping them when the Earthquake hit in their land, so the best way to honor him would be to induct him into theNicaraguan Baseball Hall of Fame for his efforts and it would help the narrative of the excerpt very much by showing that they care for what he did for them.

If a narrative was developed based on this excerpt, it would include an event like D. Clemente was inducted into the Nicaraguan Baseball Hall of Fame.

This baseball player lost his life for a good cause, and did it for people who weren't from his mother country. So, a possible way for Nicaraguan people to recognize this wonderful person twould be by giving him a honored place in their Baseball Hall of Fame

Which sentence uses a verb that agrees with its compound subject? A. Either calculators or an adding machine make an accountant'
Sladkaya [172]
I believe B would be the answer, as the subject closest to the verb (rolls) corresponds to the verb (when there is an "or" or "nor" in a sentence, the verb should correspond to the subject closest to it). For A, "adding machine" should correspond to "make," but it doesn't. For C, the subject is plural (team members and the coach), but the verb is singular; the case is the same for D.

What aspect of life brings the monster sheer joy
crimeas [40]

Referring to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein

I believe the answer is: The coming of spring with its colors and smells

Ever since the monster is created, he always hated himself for his existence, and so do other people who judge the monster from his appearance alone.

But in the story, the author mentioned that the monster always find solace in soft colors and smells of a springtime forest, which help him to survive his suffering.

She said "“Freedom of speech is not what it used to be in America,” she complained. “It has been so abused by some that it is not exercised by others.”She was a senators and usaually senators were only seen and not heard, As Senator Margaret Chase Smith grew increasingly angry with McCarthy’s attacks and his defamation of individuals she considered above suspicion. So she went to talk to Mr.President.

<em />

<em>Its not B. "Smith's speech was one of the earliest to refer to women as a vital voting bloc" , because it didnt mention anything about women voting. </em>

<em>its not C "Smith's speech was the first made by a woman senator", because it mentions she was only ONE of the first senators to take such a stand. </em>

Im sorry it took me long to answer I had to do some research on her to get the information.

hope this helped :)
