A. My friend wished I were there to hear the speech.

The subjunctive mood is when the action is contrary to fact or does not exist. This is frequently indicated with the appearance of the words “if” and “wish.” When the words “if” and “wish” appear, the verb “was” should always be in the plural form regardless of whether the subject is singular or plural. For instance, you would typically pair “I” with “was” because “I” is singular. However, when “if/wish” appear, “was” will need to be plural as in the following:

CORRECT: I wish I were taller.

INCORRECT: I wish I was taller.

CORRECT: If she were there.

INCORRECT: If she was there.

a rock climber climbs up the rock wall how do the bones and muscles in his arm interact to allow him to climb up. Which one

nirvana33 [79]

Answer: His arms muscles work in pairs so that one contracts while the other relaxes as he climbs up.

Explanation: when we exercise one muscle, there is usually another muscle that isn't the target of the exercise but it helps us maintain the form by doing the opposite movement. For example, when we do a bicep curl, the muscle that we are working is the biceps, and it contracts, but at the same time, the triceps relaxes, this is called antagonist muscles. The same thing happens when a rock climber climbs up the rock wall, the biceps contract as he pulls up and the triceps relax at the same time.
