Answer and explanation:

Let's be careful with this question, because we cannot simply interpret the adjective "prevailing" in its original sense. Prevailing, by itself, refers to something existing at a particular time, or something that is influential. However, when referring to winds, prevailing has a more specific meaning.<u> A prevailing wind is a wind in a certain area or region of our planet that blows predominantly from a particular direction. </u>This type of wind can be permanent in some places while, in others, it may take place during a certain period of the year. <u>Therefore, the word prevailing in the excerpt suggests that the wind that allowed Magellan's ships to sail with fewer crew members was constantly blowing from a particular direction. That would probably have made sailing easier and faster than usual.</u>

Which correctly identifies the verb and its mood in this sentence? It has been raining for seven hours. A) Verb: has Mood: indic
Trava [24]

D) Verb: has been raining Mood: indicative

The entire verb phrase is "has been raining". "Has" and "been" are both helping verbs that create the present progressive tense. This tense is used to show something that is happening and has been happening for a period of time. The indicative mood is correct because the indicative mood indicates something that fact. Interrogative mood is question form. Conditional form is based on something else happening.

SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!! FIRST ONE TO ANSWER CORRECTLY GETS A BRAINLIEST ANSWERWhich sentence uses a verb that agrees wit
Dafna11 [192]
Hello, so the verb is the action and the compound subject is going to be our second subject in the sentence. To distinguish whether it is corresponding or not we are going to make sure that it is in the right tense, person, etc.
So lets look at our options
Our first sentence has the first subject plural but not the second subject, and an improper use of the verb making this sentence grammatically incorrect.
Our second sentence the verb and compound correspond correctly so no mistakes here.
The third sentence we are distinguishing whether we use begun or began. Began is past tense and begun is past participle.
The last sentence is grammatically incorrect because the action/verb 'stores' does not correspond with our compound subject.
So that leaves us with the answer being B.
I hope I helped! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation please let me know! :)

Essay 350 A trip you will never forget.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

I woke up on Sunday the 2nd of May 2010, so full of excitement. It was still very early in the morning, but all of my excitement kept me awake.

Our flight to Brisbane from Rockhampton was at 2:00pm that afternoon. It seemed to take so long. While I was waiting, I checked I had packed everything. Being far away from home you need to remember everything.

2:00pm came eventually. We drove to the airport, we were all very excited. I remember sitting down in the airport and hearing “Those boarding Qf2357, please make your way through security”. I leapt out of my seat so eager to get on the plane.

By the end of the day we were all settled in our Hotel in Brisbane. The next morning I got woke up hearing “Come on Kiddies we are going to Los Angles, USA, get up and get ready. That morning was the quickest I ever seen anyone get out of bed.

We got ready had breakfast, and were at the airport soon after.

When we arrived in Los Angles, we went to a cafe for breakfast; they serve huge amounts over there.

While we were there we went to Disney land for 4 days! That was so much fun. We also went to Denny’s, their food is so yummy! I could eat it all day.

Next we flew to New York, such an amazing place, with so much history. It was very fun; we visited the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Time Square, and Central park.

For the first time in my life I saw a squirrel! It was so exciting.

After a few day’s we flew to Washington DC, where we saw the White House and Lincoln Memorial. It was so fun.

Soon we flew to Toronto, Canada. “What a lovely place”, Mum said. We all wish we had more that 3 days here. In Toronto we went to Niagara Falls. Such an amazing site! Toronto was one of my favorite's.

Our last flight in America was to Chicago. That is where Mum and Dad hired a car. We drove on the freeway. It was quite scary, but we got used to it after awhile. In Chicago we met up with some friends and drove Route 66 back to Los Angles.

From there we flew back home on the 3rd of June to Australia.

A trip I’ll never forget.
