English

Answer:

Its - car

This - More and more physicians are beginning to look not just for illnesses but also for patients' habits with long-term health  implications

Its - cow

Someone - no antecedent

It - antecedent not clear

Explanation:

The antecedent of a pronoun is the word or phrase whose place the pronoun takes. In some cases, the antecedent is obvious, while in others it's either missing or not clear.

In the first and third sentences, it's simple. In the first sentence, a car's transmission is mentioned. Instead of repeating the word <em>car</em>, we will use the pronoun<em> it</em> and its possessive form <em>its</em><em>.</em> It's the same in the third sentence (cow's tail - its tail).

The second example is interesting because the antecedent of the pronoun <em>this</em> is the entire previous sentence.

In the fourth sentence, the antecedent is missing. We don't know instead of what word the pronoun <em>someone</em> is used.

In the fifth, the antecedent is not clear as the pronoun <em>it </em>could be used to refer to the word <em>rain</em>, or the word <em>mud</em>.

Write an informative essay that explains the importance of perseverance as a quality people need to achieve success. Your essay
Helga [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

To write my essay I would like to base my ideas on the section of the attached document called "But they Did not Give Up."

Nothing compares to perseverance.

Most people surrender just before getting to the top. Yes, they do their best for a while, and when they are about to get what they want, they surrender.

Even worst, when they try something and it does not work, they surrender. And if somebody criticizes them or judges them, they never try again.

But the great ones, all of them failed in their first, second, even third time. Buy, what they did have in common? Perseverance. They never surrendered.

The importance of perseverance as a quality people need to achieve success is of the utmost importance in our lives. Things are never easy. They require effort, hard work, commitment, and perseverance.

Winston Churchill was no so good at school. But he never gave in, never. And that made him the great leader he was. Nobody believed in Charles Darwin, even his own father. But he never listened to them and he became the great man of science he was. Albert Einstein's family thought he was "subnormal," and see, he became one of the greatest minds of all times.

So the message is clear. No matter if you have talent or not. Work hard, be disciplined, committed, and never, ever give in.

what would the tone of walt whitman's poem "I hear America singing" be if the people in the poem were speaking rather than singi
katrin2010 [14]
The correct answer is "less hopeful". 
<span>This is because all the characters in the poem sing as they are doing their work, thus creating the identity of a happy America where the workers enjoy and sing. </span>
<span>If they weren't singing, they would be presented as people with no hope who are doomed to work day in day out for the elite. </span>
<span>This is not something that Whitman supported as he wanted to present America as a joyous place.</span>
