A vase of flowers fell on the floor.

In this sentence, we have two prepositional phrases. "Of flowers", "of" is a preposition and flowers is the object. "On the floor", "on" is a preposition and "floor" is the noun that it works with.

During my break, I went to the snack bar.

"During" is a preposition and then "break" is the object. "To the snack bar" is another prepositional phrase. "To" is the preposition and "snack bar" is the object it works with.

You will notice with these common prepositions that there is either a noun or a pronoun after it and that what makes a prepositional phrase and it's called the object of the preposition.

When a pronoun does not agree in number or person with an antecedent that appears earlier in the sentence, what kind of error oc

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The kind of error that occurs is:

B. a pronoun shift error.

Explanation:

Take a look at the following sentence:

"One could have done better if we had studied harder."

See how the sentence begins by using "one" and then suddenly shifts to "we"? This is an example of a pronoun shift error. The pronoun "we" does not agree with "one".

Let's analyze another example:

"Someone is knocking; and they seem to be in a hurry."

Although that is a common structure in colloquial speech, it is incorrect. "Someone" is a third-person singular word, so the pronouns that refer to it should be "he" or "she". "They" is a third-person plural pronoun. Therefore, this example too shows a pronoun shift error.

In the interview, Debbie Rigaud’s says that one reason she wrote “Voilà!” was to acknowledge the “quietly suffering people” she

ira [324]

Answer:

Aside from Simone, Ma Tante as well as the other elderly people in the doctor's office and elderly people in general are treated unfairly in the story.

Explanation:

Debbie Rigaud's short story "Voilà!" revolves primarily around Simone and her great-aunt's relationship. But the story also delves into the issue of how the elderly are treated differently by the younger generations as well as how poorer people are treated. The author wants to portray that discrimination and bring it to the attention of the readers.

In the story, the great aunt "Ma Tante" is unfairly treated, as are the other elderly people in the run-down "ghetto doctor's office". Another elderly that's treated unfairly is "Mr. Charles Pemberton" who Waverly insists on taking him on a wheelchair even though he can walk properly.

Aside from the elderly, the protagonist of the story Simone Thibodeaux also feels embarrassed for her background, for being different from her classmates. She admits "My embarrassment at being seen in the ghetto doctor’s office outweighs my guilt." Moreover, she is a Haitian, thereby resulting in different treatment from others, including the twin-nurse sisters and Waverly, who also made the suggestion that Simone helps the "CARE-A-VAN" volunteers by translating for them.
