Answer: Last week a very drunk man got into a bus and sat near a skinny girl. She looked at him with contempt and told him that he was very drunk and that it was quite distinguished. She asked him what would his mom and dad feel when he arrived home like that. He asked If her husband slept with a dry stick, or what.

Explanation: Reported speech takes a dialogue said by a specific person, and changes it to its past form, to report the information to the listener. When the girl talks to the man, she uses simple present and future, therefore, the reported speech changes the tenses to simple past and would: "She told him that he was very drunk and that it was quite distinguished. She asked him what would his mom and dad feel when he arrived home like that." Then, the man responded with simple present, so it changes to simple past: "He asked If her husband slept with a dry stick, or what."

The error in the sentence consists of the punctuation before the word "however," which should be a semicolon, as further explained below.

<h3>Punctuation to be used with "however"</h3>

The word "however" is used between two different clauses in order to establish a relationship of contrast or opposition. There are two options concerning the punctuation to be used before "however".

The first option is to simply place a period before the word "however". The second option is to place a semicolon before "however". Therefore, the possibilities for the sentence we are analyzing here are:

  • Depression and anxiety are two of the most common health problems affecting college students. However, eating disorders are also on the rise.
  • Depression and anxiety are two of the most common health problems affecting college students; however, eating disorders are also on the rise.

Since the first option is not one of the answer choices provided in the picture, the second option is the correct one. Thus, we should correct the sentence as:

  • Depression and anxiety are two of the most common health problems affecting college students; however, eating disorders are also on the rise.

The Rise of Zeus
Alja [10]
<span>The passage has a lot of inaccuracies. Zeus was never known as the most powerful god, he was simply king of the gods because he started the war against the Titans called the Titanomachy. Initially the Primordial gods were in power, until Gaia (first deity to ever be born) went to her children and asked them who would help her get rid of their father because she was mad he trapped their children, the Hecatonchires, in Tartarus. Only Cronus volunteered. He castrated his dad, Uranus, and then took over as king of the gods. When his wife (and sister) Rhea was pregnant with the first child, Hestia, he received a prophecy saying a son would overthrow him like he did his father. He therefore swallowed every child that Rhea bore him (including the female goddesses in case they had a son that could be the one to overthrow him). Rhea, when pregnant with Zeus, went to her mother and asked for his protection. She hid him in a cave on Crete where he was raised by a goat named Amalthea. When he was an adult, he returned to his father and used a mixture to have him throw up his siblings: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades & Poseidon, all full-grown by this point. They took up home on Mt. Olympus and waged the 10-year long Titanomachy. Not all of the Titans stood by Cronus. Tethys, for example, helped Zeus. After 10-years of fighting, Zeus' uncles, the Cyclopses, made him his legendary thunderbolt which he used to free his other uncles, the Hecatonchires, from the depths of Tartarus. Using their 100 hands each (there were 3 of them), the Hecatonchires launched massive boulders at the Titans and sent them down into the depths of Tartarus, where they remained for a long time until Zeus released them. But at that point he had long been king of the gods and they settled in the background of Greek Mythology and were never really heard from again. </span>

Can someone tell me what some inventions that have changed the quality of life? I have thought of some but they don't work out w
Contact [7]
These are some examples of famous inventions that really improved our quality of life. Hope you find them useful!

1. Light bulbs
This invention allows us to see and work in the dark. Long ago before lights are invented, we cannot do much during night time, even if you light up a candle, it won't last long and they may catch other things on fire. Light bulbs can be used for a long time, and they're a lot safer and there's a lot more we can do in our lives in nighttime nowadays. Even though yes LEDs are taking over, but before LED is invented, light bulbs are certainly important. 

2. Steam Trains
This improves the transportation. Before steam trains are invented, people usually travel either by walking or they ride animals such as horses. Steam trains can give us a fast way to go to another location.

3. Radio
Radio gives us a simple and fast way to send messages and spread information to far locations. This is very useful especially back then, where people can spread information during wars or other emergency situations. We can contact others faster.
