The correct answer is Subject

Here, it is unknown who would be driving to school. Therefore we need either a pronoun or a noun that would give us the subject.

Answer: D) Subject.

Explanation: In the given sentence we can see that we have two clauses (one is a conditional clause, because it has "if"), and they are separated with a comma. When we have two clauses, it is necessary that the subject (the person or group that performs the action of the verb) is clear in each one of the clauses. In the sentence "If it weren’t for my determination to finish the job, would be driving to school in a rusty old pick-up truck" it isn't clear who would be driving to school, so it is missing a subject.

Which sentence demonstrates writing in a style and tone that are most appropriate for an audience of professional scientists?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

A. The results of the experiment showed a quantifiable decrease in oxygen levels.

Explanation:

The chosen sentence possesses a formal register with technical vocabulary related to science, which can be understood by professional scientists. For instance, the words <em>quantifiable </em>and <em>decrease </em>have a more academic style. Besides, the writing is impersonal and written in the third person.

The rest of the options are incorrect because they have contractions and they are too informal. Thus, their vocabulary contain casual expressions which do not follow the conventions of an academic style.

What is the purpose of a map’s key?
Ugo [173]
The answer would be "to help you decipher symbols and scale."

Without the key, a lot of the symbols would be quite confusing and you wouldn't know if it was 5 miles or 500 miles. Everything else is implied throughout the map, but the key's purpose is definitely to help you decipher symbols and scale.

MARKING BRAINLIEST WHEN I CAN! 30 POINTS!!

Here are my suggestions on what you should edit:

Should cigarettes be illegal? Smoking can cause lung cancer, strokes, and many other diseases. Diseases caused from smoking are one of the most preventable in the US. In the States, more than 480,000 deaths occur a year due to smoking related illnesses. Smoking should be made illegal to protect our health.

I changed it up because you need more variety in your diction (wording), and also the phrasing could be slightly improved. When you wrote "In the US, more than 480,000 deaths occur a year due to cigarettes" the phrasing didn't make much sense. You don't die from a cigarette. You die from diseases that are caused from regular smoking.

Hope this helped!
