Two teens must learn the “art of killing” in the first book in a chilling new series from Neal Shusterman, author of the New York Times best selling Unwind dystology.

In a world where disease has been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed (“gleaned”) by professional reapers (“scythes”). Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythe’s apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn every method of ending life and come to understand the necessity of what they do.

Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe’s apprentice. And when it becomes clear that the winning apprentice’s first task will be to glean the loser, Citra and Rowan are pitted against each other in a fight for their lives.

Hope this helps.

How many different types of sources should a typical MLA style research paper have?

Margaret [11]

Answer:Usually 3-4 reliable sources should be sufficient. This should be enough external information to complement your original thoughts/ideas. With too many sources, the essay becomes a compilation of opinions from other writers instead of your own.

Explanation:

When deciding how to cite your source, start by consulting the list of core elements. These are the general pieces of information that MLA suggests including in each Works Cited entry. In your citation, the elements should be listed in the following order:

Author.

Title of source.

Title of container,

Other contributors,

Version,

Number,

Publisher,

Publication date,

Location.

Exercise 1 Identify the phrase in italics as I for infinitive, G for gerund, or P for participial.

aivan3 [116]

Dan has never been one to complain about his problems.

The phrase to complain is an infinitive.

What are Gerunds, infinitives, and participles?

A gerund is a word with a "ing" ending that functions as a noun. A verb that has been given the "-ing" suffix has been altered so that the entire word now functions as a noun.

A verb's basic form gains the word "to" to produce an infinitive, which can then be used as a verbal noun, adjective, or adverb.

Depending on the root word, a participle is a verb that serves as an adjective and ends in one of the following suffixes: "-ing," "-ed," "-en," "-d," "-t," "-n," or "-ne."

When a participle and one or more nouns or pronouns are united, they form a participial phrase, which is a group of words.

The phrase to complain is an infinitive.
