Answer:

The best option is letter D. enemies, a process they believed allowed them to ingest the courage of their enemies.

Explanation:

We have two big problems in the original sentence: punctuation and ambiguity. Letter D is the only option that solves both problems correctly. Let's take a look at them:

1. t is reported that some native tribes used to eat the livers of their slain enemies which they believed allowed them to ingest their courage. --> The underlined portion is problematic. Since there is no punctuation, it sounds as if "which" refers to "enemies", when it actually refers to the process of eating the livers.

2. they believed allowed them to ingest their courage. --> Whose courage? The enemies', of course, but "their" can have two antecedents in the sentence (enemies and tribes). It would be better to eliminate this ambiguity.

Thus, if we use letter D, we can correct the issues above:

It is reported that some native tribes used to eat the livers of their slain enemies, a process they believed allowed them to ingest the courage of their enemies.

Read this excerpt from The Time Machine. Then complete the sentences that follow. And perhaps the thing that struck me most was

1) The description of the broken windows and dusty curtains in the first paragraph foreshadows the Time Traveler's later discovery that the race he encounters in the novel known as the Elois is not an intelligent race and that they are quite inactive and slow in comparison to Morlocks who are the complete opposite of them.

2) The Time Traveler thinks that the diet of fruit is that the Elois race simply accepts the state of the situation in which they live. As mentioned previously, they are quite lethargic and with 0 will to fight back or change their fate.

Explanation:

The text that has been provided above is from the Science fiction novel that has been written by H.G. Wells, named The Time machine. In the excerpt that has been given here shows that Elois is the race showing the future of human society.

Eloi is a person who does not have to do anything in his or her entire life because they have some one else to do work for them and they are their working class.

Hi! I think the answer is to rake leaves or option C. I think this because to rake doesn’t make much sense in this sense, option B. to raking leaves doesn’t make much sense either, and option D. makes it in the past tense. I hope this helped, Goodluck :)
