Do you believe that it is possible to avoid the inevitable? Respond in a 4-6 Sentence Paragraph which illustrates correct gramma

Airida [17]

Answer:

You’re asking how to avoid something that’s unavoidable. Two things which are not avoidable are death and taxes. Everything else is pretty much susceptible to change or adjustment. Though scientists are now working hard to postpone the death situation through enhancing longevity of humans, so there’s just one thing left (taxes).

Use the context to decide the meaning of the word condemned .

ehidna [41]

Answer:

Officially declared to be unfit for use

Explanation:

Condemned is an adjective derived from the verb to condemn. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it has several meanings:

declared to be reprehensible, wrong, or evil
pronounced guilty and sentenced to punishment (usually to death)
officially declared to be unfit for use

Since the sentence is about gas cylinders, a type of product, we can conclude that the third meaning is the correct one. Cylinders can't be declared wrong or evil or sentenced to punishment. They can be only declared unusable, which fits the context - gas cylinders that cannot be identified must be removed from service, declared unfit for use, and rendered incapable of holding pressure.

Circle the predicate

leonid [27]

A predicate is the part of a sentence that contains a verb wich tells something about the subject.

Now, in simple present or present progressive the formula is: subject + verb+ complement; the verb is the predicate. Taking the first three example, the subject is circled and the verb verbs comes after.

Answers are underlined:

The West Indian Manatee is large a sea mammal.

Manatte rest just below the water's surface.

Sea grass is one of their favorite things to eat.

In the last one it can't be eat the predicate because the predicate refers always to the subject, and 'sea grass doesn't eat'. "To eat is a complement"

Rewrite the sentence by correcting the misplaced modifier, squinting modifier, or dangling modifier.

ludmilkaskok [199]

We planned to take a trip to Asia in three years or less.

The modifier "in three years or less" was misplaced.

A misplaced modifier is a word or phrase which is separated from the subject it modifies, thus making the sentence syntactically incorrect as well as illogical: I found the stained man's hankerchief.

A squinting modifier creates ambiguity in a sentence through its placement, by making it unclear which part it modifies (the one that comes before it or the one that comes after it): Combing your hair softly detangles it.

A dangling modifier gives an information without clearly stating its subject in the sentence. It often consists of "having + past participle" or "being + past participle" constructions, like: Being tired after the show, going straight home was the best plan.
