Answer:

I would say the correct answer is B. To give the English king a graceful way out of what could be an  awkward situation.

Explanation:

The emperor's letter is a perfect example of a well-balanced political message. <u>He clearly states his political position while still paying due respect to his counterpart.</u> Translated to modern, everyday English, this passage would mean: "Your request is unreasonable and goes against all principles and rules of my great empire; still, I will be gracious enough to assume that you meant no offence." This way, <u>the emperor turns down a request without making an enemy</u>.

True, the emperor refuses King George's request to intensify trade connections between the two countries. But he doesn't go so far as to warn the English king of anything. His tone remains polite throughout the letter. Therefore, A) isn't correct.

On the other hand, C) isn't correct because Qian Long presents his current political stance and the politics of his empire as definite and immutable. Therefore, there is no room for change - not now, not ever.

Finally, D) isn't correct because the emperor knows very well that an ambassador always speaks on behalf of his sovereign. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible that a political envoy would take liberty to speak on his own terms.

Answer:

It takes a lot of courage to be a follower of Jesus in modern society for a multitude of reasons...

Explanation:

In today's society, given the times and their trivial nature recently, many people find it hard to believe there is a god at all. For these people, the concept of keeping their opinion to themselves is foreign, which affects those around them who do believe. In schools, workplaces, and even just in a person's neighborhood, a believer in Jesus gets ridiculed, harassed and even threatened for having faith. Because of the controversy on the topic of God, it is also not allowed to be talked about in school or some workplaces. To be a believer in Christ in a day and age where you are literally in danger from some people because of believing takes bravery and true loyalty to your faith. That is why being a follower of Jesus takes courage. And as sad as it is to say it, many people aren't courageous enough to take that stand.

Hope this helps :)

Which verb form correctly completes the sentence? Is the verb singular or plural?
sladkih [1.3K]
The batteries in our cell phones need to charge.  
The verb is singular since the noun used ‘batteries’ is plural.  
<span>Verbs are simply known as the ‘action’ words – may it be mental, physical or mechanical. When verbs are paired with auxiliaries (helping verbs), they are known as verb phrase. These helping verbs always go first before the actual verb. <span>Perfect tenses serves a portraying the verb or the action word as something that already happened or is completed, thus the term ‘perfect’. If it is present perfect tense, it means that the action was already done relatively to the present (has/have with past participle). If it is past perfect tense, action is already finished relatively to the past (had with past participle and if it is future perfect tense, action is complete relatively to the future (will have with past participle</span></span>
