B - too specific for the purpose

While that would be a good topic sentence, it is far too specific for the thesis of an entire essay

Which sentence contains an inappropriate shift in person?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Some actors work as a waiter until their big break.

Explanation:

The sentence that contains an inappropriate shift in person is the last one. Instead of <em>a waiter,</em> we should say <em>waiters </em>(<em>Some actors work as waiters</em>...). <em>Actors </em>is a plural noun and it should be followed by a plural noun. Another thing that confirms this is the use of the plural possessive pronoun <em>their</em>.

The rest of the sentences are correct. In the first sentence, there is no dilemma. In the second sentence, we have the phrase <em>many people</em>, which requires a plural verb and plural possessive pronoun. These conditions are fulfilled. The third sentence is a bit tricky because of the correlative conjunction <em>neither... nor.</em> The verb and possessive pronoun should be in the singular form in this case (as <em>Dave</em> is a singular noun), and they are, which makes this sentence correct.

This is why the fourth option is the correct answer.

Jellyfish are soft bodied, free swimming, aquatic animals. They reproduce sexually by releasing egg and sperm into the water. Th
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The jellyfish polyp will be a diverse combination of the parent jellyfish genetic material.

Explanation:

If jellyfish reproduced asexually (only one parent) it would be identical to that one parent, but both the sperm and egg from two separate jellyfish unite making it sexual and the parents each give 50% of the genes. There is no way that you can have twice as much genetic material as your parents. Even when there is some extra genetic material, causing a mutation, it is never twice as much genetic material.

Helpmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
svp [43]

Answer:

1. Where did you go to school?

2. When did she arrive?

3. Why did he eat so much?

4. What did they do yesterday?

5. Who did you meet at the party?

6. How did she come to work this morning?

7. Where did I leave my glasses?

8. When did he get home last night?

9. What did you do at the weekend?

10. Why did she get angry?

11. Who did they talk to earlier?

12. What did we do last Christmas?

13. Why did it rain on my birthday?

14. How did she finish so quickly?

15. Where did he go after the class last week?

Explanation:

For this activity, we must make questions in the simple past.

To do that, we simply need to use the auxiliary "did" right before the subject and after the Wh- word applied. For example, if I want to ask someone what movie they watched last night, I would use the question:

- What movie did you watch last night?

And that is it! There is no need to change the main verb like we would do in the affirmative form. The auxiliary "did" already shows that the question is in the past. Compare the sentences below:

Aff.: You went to the beach.

Int.: Where did you go?

It helps to increase the credibility of the speaker amd reduce negative impact to the audience. ​
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The following help to increase the credibility of the speaker and reduce the negative impact on the audience depending on what kind of listeners they are.

  1. Citing one's sources during a speech: A content-oriented audience will be interested in the authenticity of the speaker's presentation. Credible sources help to up the reputation of the speaker. For example, citing an unpopular blog versus citing world bank statistics.
  2. Stating facts and speaking about why it is so (that is, being uneconomical and accurate with the information): It is important not to exaggerate ones facts.
  3. getting to the point as quickly as possible: This is important to Time-oriented audience.
