Please Help!!! Read the plot synopsis below of the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry and answer the question that follows. Society h

as eliminated pain and strife by converting to “sameness,” a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from people’s lives. Jonas is selected to fulfill the position “Receiver of Memory,” the person who stores all the memories of the time before “sameness,” in case his society ever needs those memories to aid in decisions that others lack the experience to make. As Jonas receives the memories from the previous Receiver, now the “Giver,” he discovers the power of knowledge. He faces a dilemma. Should he stay with the community (his family) and live a shallow life without love, color, sound, and knowledge, or should he run away to where he can live life with all experiences, both wonderful and difficult? Based on the summary, what is most likely the author’s purpose in writing? A. to warn the reader of the consequences of valuing safety over freedom B. to show how technology can be misused C. to predict the outcome of research and scientific development D. to express her opinion that safety is more important than freedom

The answer is A. to warn the reader of the consequences of valuing safety over freedom. B is incorrect since technology isn't very significant in the summary, C seems wrong since the focus isn't predicting science so much as it is about providing a lesson, and D is incorrect since Jonas wants to throw away safety to live life freely, which means freedom more important than safety.

Which of the following sentences uses apostrophes correctly?
sleet_krkn [62]

An apostrophe is used when you want to do one of the following: show possession, when changing a single noun to its plural form and when you are using contractions, or contracted words, like it and is. In this particular case, we have two cases in which we need to use apostrophes. The first is the use of the last name of two subjects. This last name is, in its singular form, Smith, but because we are talking about more than one (plural), we need to change the singular word into its plural form. To do this, we add the apostrophe after the H and add an s. This shows the plural form. Also, we have a contracted word, it and is. The correct way to show the contraction is by using an apostrophe between the original word (it) and to signify the presence of is adjoined to it, we add an apostrophe and we add the "s" after it. This is why the correct answer is A.
