Hi!


The correct answer would be Homonyms.


Homonyms are the words that have similar spellings, pronunciation, but different meanings. Example: rose (flower) & rose (past tense of rise) are homonyms.


Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings, are not spelled or pronounced alike generally. Example: hot & cold are antonyms of each other.


Synonyms are words that have similar meanings, and are not spelled or pronounced alike generally. Example: sad & unhappy are synonyms of each other.


Homophones are words that sound alike, but have different meanings and different spellings too. Example: ad & add are homophones.

Susan gets in her car in Boston and drives toward New York City, averaging fifty miles per hour. Twenty minutes later, Ellen get
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Explanation:

Susan = 50 miles per hour

Ellen = 60 miles per hour

Total miles to and from Newyork and Boston= 220 miles

In twenty minutes, Susan drives

50 miles = 60 minutes

1 minute= 50/60= 0.833 miles

20 minutes = 0.833×20=16.667 miles

Ellen is 60 miles per hour

Therefore she drives:

60 miles= 60 minutes

1 mile = 1 minute

In 1 hour 40 minutes Ellen would be 100 miles into getting to Boston and in 2 hours Susan would be 100 miles towards New York

Alisiya [41]
The best answer to the statement given above is option b. false. Most people who become addicted to drugs are NOT able to stop on their own and need outside help. Those people who are addicted to drugs have difficulty to abstain from it because these drugs created an addictive pleasure to the body which makes them crave for it. If the urge is not satisfied, drug users often suffer from withdrawal symptoms. This is the time that they need outside help, that's why they need to undergo rehabilitation.
