In 1977, in the Midwest, there was millions of dollars of destruction from a tornado that lasted
<span>
seven hours.
Since the subject here is the Midwest which is singular the linking verb should agree with the subject as singular thus, was.
Further example,
</span><span>The sentence that includes an error in the subject-verb agreement is:
A. Either June or her children are going to the movie tonight.
This sentence should read:
Neither June nor her children are going to the movie tonight.
"Nor" and "neither" go together and they are the negative form of "or" and "either". "Or and "either" are the positive form of "nor" and "neither".
<span>A good example of using "or" and "either" is the following sentence:You can either run or cycle to the shops. </span>
</span>

Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The Raven," is written in the trochaic octameter. Let us break down what that means:
1. trochaic - this refers to the meter of the poem, trochee. Trochee is the type of meter which consists of two syllables, where the first one is stressed (written in capital letters), and the second one is unstressed (written in lower letters), like in option C
2. octameter - this refers to the number of syllables within the entire line. Octa means eight, and one meter consists of two syllables, so if you multiply those two, you will get the exact number of syllables in one line, which is sixteen.
idk what the sentence above is, but it's probably C) Several cities with large populations have many asthma-related health problems.
Answer:
It was very low inside the house, and so dim, with the closed blinds, that they could scarcely see one another;
Her father standing decorously apart with his hat on his forearm, as at funerals; a woman rested in a deep arm-chair, and the woman who had let the strangers in stood behind the chair.
<em>Editha</em>, by William Dean Howells, is an antiwar story published in 1905. Its characters are people who greatly value custom and ritual, even when it is objectively inconvenient or awkward for them to do so.
The two chosen lines exemplify that character trait. In the first sentence, the house has the blinds closed, as was common for houses where the family had recently experienced a loss or a tragedy. This rule is followed, even though it meant that the characters were barely able to see each other.
The second sentence has a similar example, as Edith's father stands at a distance and with his hat in his hands. We are told this is the way it is done at funerals, which is consistent with the previous sentence and with the character's personality traits.
