Answer:

Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for <u>his</u> yearbook staff.

Explanation:

Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences. Pronouns that express ownership are called possessive pronouns. They include pronouns <em>my, mine, our, ours, its, his, her, hers, their, theirs, your </em>and <em>yours</em>.

When we want to express something that belongs to a female, we say that something is <em>her/hers</em>. When something belongs to a male, it is <em>his</em>. In the given sentence, the subject is a man (Mr., or Mister Thompson), so the appropriate possessive pronoun is <em>his</em>: <em>Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for </em><u><em>his</em></u><em> yearbook staff.</em> Had the subject been a female (e.g. Mrs. Thompson), the sentence would've been correct.

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
kumpel [21]
You should place commas around a phrase the at adds additional information to the sentence, but which is not necessary.

1)<span>Tanna president of the National Honor Society truly enjoys volunteer work.

this part is not necessary, so commas are required before and after it

2) The old house, that my father grew up in, is being completely renovated.

here the commas are unnecessary! that's because we need the information in boldface to identify the house

4) </span><span><span>My sister, who is a waitress at Billy’s Big Burger Shack, is sixteen years old.</span>

this is a correctly punctuated sentence - the information about being a waitress is additional.

5) The bird that built a nest in the oak tree, appears to have an injured wing.

here either the commas should be removed, or another comma added after "bird"

</span>

Why does Faustus wish to be a beast?
atroni [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

Faustus wish to be a beast because (A) Beasts feel no pain.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faustus is very clever and urges for many things in life. He wants knowledge and power that surpasses that of humans.  

Mephistopheles is the beast Faustus wishes to be. He thinks that he can fulfil all his dreams only by becoming a devil or a beast. So, he makes a deal with the beast and exchanges his soul with that of a beast in lure of knowledge and power. Faustus thinks that all beats are happy and when they die their souls dissolve. So, throughout his life, he commits sin and when at the end he realises his mistake and repents. But it is too late then.
