Answer:

was instead of were

were instead of was

is instead of are

offer instead of offers

Explanation:

1-<em>As a teenager, Sir Paul Smith, now one of Britain’s best-known fashion designers,</em><em> was </em><em>on track  for a very different career.</em>

In sentence 1,  the subject is Sir Paul Smith which is singular therefore was on track is the proper subject-verb agreement.

2-<em>A serious car accident at age 17 put him in hospital for six months and his dreams </em><em>were </em><em>all but over... </em>

In sentence  2, the subject of the second part is dreams which is plural therefore, were is the correct  form of the past tense of be.

3-<em>His 531 collection of cyclejackets, jerseys and shorts</em><em> is</em><em> understated, ...</em>

In this sentences 3, the head of the phrase is collection which is singular therefore is agrees with collection.

4-...using materials such as Ventile cotton and Merino wool, which offer breathability and durability.

In sentence 4, the subject  is materials which is plural therefore, offer is the correct  form of the simple present.

The Giver Novel : How has Jonas's perspective in chapter 13 change throughout the novel so far.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

- "As the weeks go by, Jonas learns all the colors, but still sees only glimpses of them in the world around him".

- "Jonas is angry that the world is devoid of color; it's not fair, he says".

- "The Giver asks him to explain. Jonas argues that without color, there aren't choices. He can't decide in the morning whether he wants to wear blue or red. He knows what color your shirt is isn't really important, but he thinks the ability to choose at all is what matters—on principle".

- "Jonas elaborates by discussing Gabriel, whom The Giver already knows about. What if Gabriel could choose which color toy he wanted?"

- "The Giver explains that, if that were the case, then Gabriel might make the wrong choices".

- "Jonas realizes the wisdom. He agrees that people shouldn't be allowed to choose their own spouses or jobs, because they might be wrong. "We really have to protect people," he says, "from wrong choices," because that way "it's safer."

- "Well, that was quick. So much for Jonas the freedom-lover.".

- "Still, though, Jonas doesn't quite feel satisfied with his own conclusion. He feels frustrated".

- "Actually, he feels angry. All the time. He's angry at his friends, for example, for being satisfied with their lives, which are so dull and not vibrant".

Maybe the first five ^-^

What types of images does the speaker return to throughout "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock?"
Oxana [17]

Thomas Eliot works multiple themes in the poem, however in general, his usage of imagery mainly represents ageing and decay. In the lines "When the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table", the phrases like "sawdust restaurants" and "cheap hotels," the yellow fog, and the afternoon "Asleep...tired... or it malingers", represent decay. The character's concerns about his hair and teeth which is mentioned in the lines "Combing the white hair of the waves blown back / When the wind blows the water white and black," show the problems about aging.
