From the memoirs of Otto Lais, a member of the German Infantry Regiment number one hundred and sixty-nine, it is observed that certain comments were made in relation to the Battle of the Somme which lasted between 1914-1916.
- A portion of the excerpt reads as follows:
<em>"Belt after belt was fire, 250 rounds - 1000 - 3000...18,000 rounds!"</em>
- In order to determine what he meant by this statement, it is important to read the protext, the text, and the statement in context.
- Hence the portions immediately before and after the statement relating to the number of bullets read thus:
<em>"The machine gunners were earning their pay today. Belt after belt was fired, 250 rounds - 1,000 - 3,000...The British kept charging forward. Despite the fact that hundreds are already lying dead in the shell holes to our front, fresh waves keep emerging from the assault trenches...18,000 rounds!"</em>
Then there is the last sentence from that excerpt:
"<em>The youth of England bled to death in front of Serre (our position)"</em>
- The report was one of bravery on their part and how they "dealt" with the English Army. Hence, the reference to bullet rounds was used to convey a sense of patriotism (Option D).
- If he meant to convey hatred, the document would have been filled with words describing the British army in such a manner.

Answer:
"To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs, which were very popular at that time." is the correct answer. The last choice makes it sound like he's only scouting the popular women's softball clubs rather than all of them. The second to last option is not grammatically correct because of the comma between scouted and women's. The second option just replaces the period with a comma and and, which makes it still seem as if the two pieces of information are separate.
Explanation:
There once was a high school student named Peach. They were up rather late one night studying and their head was bobbing back and forth from exhaustion. Their analog alarm clock read 11:47 PM and Peach was just finishing up their 3rd cup of cofffee. A message popped up on the corner of Peach's laptop screen.
"Oh, Mrs. Filbert emailed me..." They clicked on the notification. "What does she want so late at night?"
The email read: "Hello, Peach. I'm just checking in to see whether or not you've finished your English essay just yet. It's due tonight at 11:59, and another late grade will significantly lower your overall score. Update me whenever possible. -Mrs. Filbert, English 4"
Peach's eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights. Frantically, they opened up a new document and started typing like mad. 3 minutes went by, then 5, then 9. Peach's vision darted from their book to their laptop as they tried to recall the plot of Pride and Prejudice within just 17 minutes.
Finally, as if a wave of relief washed over them, Peach finished their essay and clicked submit at exactly 11:59 PM. Well, it's better late than never!
