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.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Compare and contrast the two statements and identify the text structure for each statement:

Statement 1: The sandy loam and Mediterranean climate are perfect for the cultivation of almonds, but that's where any comparisons to picturesque orchards of Spain or Italy end. Here, there are no verdant weeds, wild flowers or grass verges to please the eye, just never-ending trees that form what looks like an outdoor production line for the bees.

Without this army of migrant pollinators paying a visit for three weeks every year, the trees would fail to bear the almonds that are California's most valuable horticultural export

Statement 2: Haagen-Dazs, which is owned by General Mills, said bees are actually responsible for 40% of its 60 flavors - such as strawberry, toasted pecan and banana split.

"These are among consumers' favorite flavors," said Katty Pien, brand director with Haagen-Dazs.

"We use 100% all natural ingredients like strawberries, raspberries and almonds which we get from California. The bee problem could badly hurt supply from the Pacific Northwest," Pien said

Well i'm sorry i cant answer this cause i think it needs to come from your knowledge not any one else's. Cause once you write what somebody else put down you'll be plagerizing. Then you want us to write 750 to 2,500 words no. Im sorry i'm not doing that.

Plagerizing is just for the writing part. Not math,or science or non of that.
