1In 1948, American artist Andrew Wyeth unveiled his painting Christina’s World. The painting shows a woman in a field. Her face

is turned away from the artist, and she is crawling across the pasture. She is making her way toward an old farmhouse, which is visible in the distance. 2Wyeth created the scene using tempera. Tempera is an Italian word with Latin origins. It comes from the Latin temperare, which means "to mix." Tempera is paint made by mixing dye and a binding material. Egg yolks are commonly used as a binder in tempera paint. The image was painted on a flat panel covered with gesso. Gesso is a powdered, chalk-like substance that artists mix with glue. They often use it as a first coat of paint before they apply tempera paints. The word gesso comes from the Italian word for "chalk." 3The woman shown in Christina’s World appears rather young, but in real life, the subject was a middle-aged woman. Wyeth, who lived in the Maine countryside, looked out his window one day and saw his neighbor crawling across the pasture. Many think that the woman suffered from a disease called polio, but no one knows for sure. Whether she was or was not ill, she was unable move her body from the waist down, which is why she had to pull herself across the field by her arms. Similarly, the woman pictured in Wyeth's painting has some sort of illness that has affected her muscles. 4Most of the colors used to create Christina’s World are earth tones. The field is a shade of gold, the farmhouse is dark gray, and the sky is cloudy ash gray. The subject’s dress is very light pink and is the brightest spot in the whole scene. This splash of color shows how bold and strong the woman in the field is even though her world seems rather lonely and difficult. 5Christina’s World is a very moving work of art. The painting of a lone figure in a barren field presents an image of great struggle. The woman appears to be making her way to the farmhouse on the horizon, which lies at a distance from where she is. Though the house is far away, the woman looks toward it as her goal. Having her face focused on the destination in front of her suggests her great determination. While the painting shows a struggle, it also reveals the courage and strength all people possess.
The author of this passage is considering changing the first sentence of the fourth paragraph from its current sentence to the following one:

"The painting is worth more than $100,000 and currently hangs in the New York City's Museum of Modern Art."

Would this sentence work effectively as a transition from paragraph 3 to paragraph 4?
A) No, because the sentence properly belongs at the end of the last paragraph of the essay.
B) Yes, because the sentence provides information that would be of interest to the general reader.
C) No, because the fourth paragraph is primarily about the colors of the painting--not its current value or location.
Eliminate
D) Yes, because the sentence provides information that looks outward from the painting to its importance in the real world.

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The correct answer is the following statement: No, because the fourth paragraph is primarily about the colors of the painting--not its current value or location. The starting sentence of the fourth paragraph is perfectly appropriate as written because it introduces the main topic of paragraph four: the colors of Wyeth's painting.

N spanish, when you use a negative word after a verb, you need to add ____ before the verb.
telo118 [61]

Your questions is not so clear, but I will try to answer it as I understand it.

I am a native Spanish speaker so you can trust my answer, if there is a problem with it, it is due the missing information in the question, but I think we can work it out for the best.

In Spanish when you want to make any negative setence in any tense we do not use an auxliliary verb as you do in English, we simply add the word:

No before the verb, for example in:

Yo no <u>quería</u> bailar en la fiesta. (I didn´t <u>wan</u>t to dance at the party)

Mi hermana no <u>piensa</u> antes de hablar. (My sister doesn't <u>think</u> before talking)

No me <u>hables</u>, no <u>quiero</u> nada. (Don't <u>talk</u> to me, I <u>want</u> nothing)

In Spanish we Simply use the Negative Adverb:

No
