Answer:
The best choice is:
We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared.
Explanation:
We need to find a way to eliminate ambiguity in the sentence. In this case, ambiguity is being caused by an issue with the antecedent of the pronoun "they". In "We heard rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared, but they were unreliable," "they" may refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". Even though we can assume the pronoun refers to "rumors", because of the word "unreliable" that follows it, the ambiguity is still there.
In "
We heard rumors about the disappearance of the Delacroix brothers, but we always thought they were unreliable," the revision made does not change anything. "They" can still refer to "rumors" or to "brothers". We can eliminate this option.
However, in "We heard unreliable rumors that the Delacroix brothers had disappeared," we no longer have any ambiguity. The pronoun "they" is not used anymore, and the adjective "unreliable" is placed right before "rumors", which makes its meaning clear. Thus, we can choose this option as the best one.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
The answer is option B or "due to Robert's failure to follow his own destiny, his life ends in a tragedy." All options given in this question have a formal more professional style of saying Robert failed to follow his own destiny and because of not doing so he died in a very tragic way but it's the objective tone that separates the correct answer from the rest. Objective means to say the truth and not show any emotions toward that truth and you aren't being influenced by any personal feelings. Option B is a objective tone because it's giving the facts with no remorse and it has no personal feelings or sympathy involved.
Hope this helps.

It happens because the racist Macomb jury members convict Tom of raping Mayella Ewell. Jem is devastated and loses his faith in the community members of Maycomb. Jem was feeling confident about winning the court case and even told Reverend Sykes not to fret because Atticus has already won because of the lack of evidence.
What was not seen by them, but the Reverent had seen, was the fact that the locals were racist and had never decided in favor of a black man over a white one.
The correct answer is:
2.Tom might have won the case had race not been an issue.
