Answer:

Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for his yearbook staff.

Explanation:

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

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

asambeis [7]

Awnser: Thoreau begins Civil Disobedience by saying that he agrees with the motto, "That government is best which governs least." Indeed, he says, men will someday be able to have a government that does not govern at all. As it is, government rarely proves useful or efficient. It is often "mistreat and unnatural" so that it no longer represents the will of the people. The Mexican-American War illustrates this phenomenon.

The worst birthday from harry potter and the chamber of secrets question 5

lesya [120]

Answer:

D). It highlights the contrast between the Dursley’s excitement for the dinner and Harry’s loneliness.

Explanation:

Repetition is elucidated as one of the most commonly employed literary devices in which the author repeats a word or phrase in order to emphasize or highlight a specific idea. While 'tone' is described as the author's approach or attitude towards a specific subject matter reflected through the diction and language adopted by the author to convey it.

As per the question, Harry's constant repetition of the phrase 'I’ll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I’m not there' affects the tone of the given passage by highlighting the disparity between the excitement of Dursley and the loneliness of Harry. It shifts the tone from cheerful to serious and emphasizes Harry's isolation due to his family's fear over his special powers. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
