ee spirits that visits Scrooge has the greatest effect on him?" Which of the following shows a proofread opening paragraph with a strong thesis statement and formal language?
A. In Charles Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol” Scrooge is bugged by three spirts, each of which blow his mind in different way. The ghost of Christmas Past shows the life that he used to have and how Scrooge has screwed it up. The Ghost of Christmas Present shows him what he is missing and how he should change. Lastly, The Ghost of Christmas Future shows what will happen if he does not change. Together they all play a part in getting Scrooge to change.
B. In Charles Dickens's “A Christmas Carol” Scrooge is bugged by three spooky scary spirits, but it is the ghost of Christmas Future that does a real number on him. While the ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge how he has changed, and the Ghost of Christmas Presents shows him how he should check himself it is the ghost of Christmas Future that shows him why he needs to change. The ghost does this by showing Scrooge not just his own future but how he messes up the futures of those around him.

The ghost of Christmas Past shows the life that he used to have and how Scrooge has changed. The Ghost of Christmas Present shows him what he is missing and how he should change. Lastly, The Ghost of Christmas Future shows what will happen if he does not change. Together they all play a part in getting Scrooge to change.
D. In Charles Dickens's “A Christmas Carol” Scrooge is visited by three spirits, but it is the Ghost of Christmas Future that has the greatest effect on him. While the ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge how he has changed, and the Ghost of Christmas Presents shows him how he should change it is the ghost of Christmas Future that shows him why he needs to change. The ghost does this by showing Scrooge not just his own future but how he affects the futures of those around him.

Answer:

I honestly have no clue either but I'mma try and "think outside of the box" here so stay with me XD

Explanation:

I mean during thunderstorms there's lightning right? And trees are like the most susceptible thing to lightning strikes because theyre fairly big and tall right? Maybe the trees appearing bright could signify lightning and with lightning comes thunder? I honestly don't know. Or maybe it's relating to some sort of mythology? Like the "heavens" opening up and shining light on the trees to signify rain because a god or something controls the weather? Or maybeee, this might be the best one yet, rain helps plants grow, trees=plants, illuminating of a plant=growth, GROWTH FROM RAIN. Ok I'm done... I hope at least a little of this made sense and maybe helped lol.

Choose the sentence that has a compound predicate.
Yakvenalex [24]
<span>A compound predicate contains two or more predicates in it. Having this in mind, the sentence that has a compound predicate is A. Sandy washed and ironed her clothes. B is incorrect because there is a compound subject, but not a predicate. C is incorrect because of the same thing. D is incorrect because to eat and to study are not predicates here, they are used as adverbial phrases.</span>
