Do you think mermaids are exist? In two paragraphs or more explain why or why not.

English
1 answer:
amm18123 years ago

Answer:

I do not believe mermaids exist.

Explanation:

I do not believe mermaids exist because of the biological incompatibility of the two systems. There would firstly be duplication of organs from the human-fish combination. Secondly, the skeletal structures would clash and create more incompatibilities. Thirdly, the structure of a lung would not work. Gills would not be able to work with the body structures of a mermaid.

Also, a mermaid would need to have fragments of fish DNA. DNA has very strong barriers across species. It is difficult for anything larger than a bacteria to take in any DNA from another species. The fish DNA and making it apply to only the legs would be impractical. If a human was to evolve to live in water, it would not evolve into a mermaid.

Which best identifies the difference between prepositional phrases and infinitives?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Prepositional phrases don't include verbs.

Explanation:

Infinitive phrases can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. An infinitive phrase begins with an infinitive (to+ simple form of the verb) and includes objects and modifiers.

For example:

<u>to kill a mockingbird</u>

A prepositional phrase is a group of words that consists of a preposition and a noun or a preposition and a pronoun. A prepositional phrase modifies a verb or a noun and it does not contain either a verb or a subject and it functions as a unified part of speech.

For example:

The shirt <u>with flowers</u> is mine.

The main difference between an infinitive and prepositional phase is the fact that <u>prepositional phrases don’t include verbs</u>. If the phrase follows a verb, then it is an infinitive phrase, as the prepositional phrases do not contain verbs.
