Answer:

The King had given his son fifty young girls as his wives. But he liked none of them. The king got very angry at this and in his anger made a law that whoever in the country had a daughter finer than his son's wives, he along with the daughter and daughter's mother would be killed.

Explanation:

“The Tortoise with a Pretty Daughter” is a Nigerian folktale. The Tortoise' wife wants their beautiful daughter to be killed lest they all be killed by the king. But the Tortoise himself is against this and keeps his daughter hidden. After some twists the prince finds the daughter and fall in love with her at once. The king initially very angry but on seeing the girls' beauty decides to change the law and marries his son the girl.

Answer:

1. If only I could understand Math.

2. I wish the boys in my class were more mature.

3. I wish I could find my phone.

4. If only I had the money to buy those shoes.

5. I wish I could stay in bed all day.

6. If only I had less homework.

Explanation:

Sentences with "wish" and "if only" express a desirable hypothetical situation. In other words, when you use them, you express what you would like reality to be like. For example:

- I ruined dinner because I cannot cook.

I wish I were a good cook.

If only I could cook well.

Notice that we use the simple past of verbs or the modal "could" in the sentences.

. Which of the following sentences is correctly punctuated?
posledela
<span>A. The local police asked the F.B.I. to assist with the case.
-F.B.I isn't properly punctuated, as there's a period after 'F.B.I', which implies the sentence ends there.</span>

B. Mary remembered to buy milk didn't she?
-Should be 'Mary remember to buy milk, didn't she?'

C. Mr. Jones visited the YMCA before becoming a member.
-This is correct

<span>D. The company held it's annual party at the convention center.</span>
-It's isnt proper, It's is basically 'it is', The company held it is annual party at the convention center obviously does not make sense.
