I would say that he had ambivalent feelings that one the one hand his killing an elephant would seem like an affront to the culture of the Burmese and  as further evidence of British imperialism in disrespect for the natual heritage of their country while on the other hand if he didn't kill it he would be considered not responsible to the townspeople who were threatened by it.

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.

Read the following short excerpt of student writing. Use your vocabulary and grammar knowledge to determine which suggestions yo
Burka [1]

Grammatical mistakes are something which can change the meaning of a sentence.

Proper usage of words, and correct grammar are the essentials for a good write up. In the sentence, ‘Instead of calling her I talked to another friend who is good at listening and feeling my pain’, we can see that although this statement seems correct it can be made prefect if we add the proper word and punctuation mark. It should be, ‘ Instead of calling her, I talked to one of my friend who is a good listener and empath.’

<u>Talking about the comma rule.</u>

The very first line of the passage should include a comma before a conjunction to separate two complete thoughts.

‘I really thought she loved me but I discovered her grave.’ In this sentence, the student should use a comma before ‘but’ which is a conjunction. By adding comma, it will help to create two totally different thoughts.

The correct answer is C. To show a real-life example of a volcano.

Explanation

The image shows a satellite or aerial photo of the eruption of a volcano. This photo is an example of a real-life visual resource because it shows a natural, real-life phenomenon just as it occurs. These resources are generally used to observe the details of phenomena like this that are difficult to access by other means. So the correct answer is C. To show a real-life example of a volcano.
