What is the homonym for find

2 answers:

The two meanings for find would be
1. To unexpectedly realize something.
2. To unexpectedly realize the existence of something.

Example of definition 1: I walked inside to find a dog waiting in my room. (Realized the dog was a dog in the room.)

Example of definition 2: I never thought I would find aspartame in diet drinks. (Realized the existence of something, in this case aspartame)

I know it isn't much of a difference, but I'd say the homonym for find would be definition 2.

Our friends were picked up by our parents.

Delicious77 [7]

This sentence is currently in passive voice. In active voice, it would be:

"Our parents picked up our friends"

To change a sentence from passive to active voice you would switch around the subjects. In passive voice, the subject (in this case "parents") is being acted upon. In active voice, the parents need to act upon "friends."

NemiM [27]

Answer: Every summer, my dad teaches a science class about Sea Turtles in the Atlantic Ocean

Explanation:

The word every should be capitalized because it is the first word in the sentence and the first word is always capitalized.

Dad should not be capitalized as it comes after a possessive pronoun being my.

Sea Turtles as well as the Atlantic Ocean should be capitalized as you are referring to them directly.

Answer:

D) Punishment

Explanation:

The noun scourge refers to something or someone that causes great trouble or suffering, or the use of a whip as an instrument for physical punishment. Some synonyms of scourge are torment, affliction and punishment. As a result, Mandela means that children should run freely and not be menaced, confronted or taken advantage of.
