Answer:

The best option is E.

Explanation:

In this clause there is a verbal ellipsis after the hyphenated comment because it is not necessary to repeat <em>are capable.</em> However it is still required to keep parallelism and that's why a gerund is used after the preposition <em>of</em> when mentioning the second ability (recognizing - grasping).

Options A, B and C lack parallel structures. Option D is not possible because <em>have the ability </em>should be foll owed by a verb in the infinitive form, e.g "... the ability to recognize..."

Thepotemich [5.8K]
In Chapter 16, Madame Defarge states to her husband that laying the groundwork for monumental change takes a long time, once it happens, it will be unstoppable like an earthquake or lightning. This passage clearly represents her views on the revolution because she sympathizes with her husband's impatience but does not waver from her belief in the cause.

What are some songs that correlate to Jay Gatsby's character in The Great Gatsby movie?
kati45 [8]
<span>Daisy Buchanan: Modest Mouse - Float On I chose this song because the lyrics are perfect for Daisy. The lyrics of this song are so “chill,” and that describes Daisy perfectly. She is so wealthy that she doesn’t have to care about anything. The first line of the song is “I backed my bar into a cop car the other day.” While Daisy never collided with a police officer, she did get in a car accident. Also, one of the lines is “bad news comes, don’t you worry even when it lands.” This line is exemplified through Daisy (and Tom) just moving whenever something bad happens. Daisy doesn’t need to worry, and her life is essentially one big “lazy river” in which she is just floating. Myrtle Wilson: Gwen Stefani - Rich Girl Myrtle wants to be wealthy. She wants to have money, and Tom is her way of getting to that money.

I was wondering if someone could write me a short horror story just a couple of paragraphs. Please help me
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

     One day, two girls had a sleepover. They were having fun, but when it hit 1 in the morning, they heard screaming. "The screaming was coming from the attic!" the one girl called out, the other stood there in fear. The two girls, curious of the noise, headed out of the bedroom they were in and into the hallway. The two girls reached the attic, and they suddenly heard banging on the front door. The girls ran back to the bedroom and was traumatized from what had been happening. They stayed there until morning, hiding under the girls bed. Morning came and they told the girls parents. The one who was sleeping over had left, and now the parents explain to their daughter that it was a nightmare, but it wasn't. Two days later and some random guy was found sneaking into peoples homes and dragging in hostages with him, the girl was terrified, but shes safe.. For now.
