I think that the subject of the excerpt is c) Mathilde's discontent with her humble lifestyle because she compared her life to a rich one, one she felt that she was meant to have.
The first thing you should know about Rube Goldberg is that he is a cartoonist who created cartoons about crazy machine ideas like completing a very simple task using a very big production
The second thing is that many people use Rube Goldbergs machines to do stuff. There is a video on U tube which many people created a machine to light up a chirmas tree!!
An Idea is that search Rube Goldberg machines on U TUBE and get some ideas!
Hope this helped (:
Answer:
The answer to your question would be that the version of the sentence that uses the preposition to show location is the following one: The unexpected blackout occurred near the masquerade ball.
Explanation:
The preposition showing location in the sentence above is <em>near.</em> This preposition means "not far away in distance". All the other versions of the sentence use the prepositions to give information as regards the time in which the event being referred to took place (before, during, and after).
