Which choice has a clear pronoun reference?

Using semantic features, how would you explain the oddness of these sentences? i ate a bowl of happiness for lunch with a plate

hoa [83]

The oddness of the sentence is not syntactic or grammatical, but semantic:

Happiness is something abstract so you would not say you ate a bowl of happiness, which is why the sentence is grammatically correct but it is semantically odd.

It is also odd to say a plate of juice because you would normally use a glass of juice not a plate.

<h3>What are semantics?</h3>

Semantics is the study of meaning. If you study semantics, you analyze the meaning of words and the relation between words.

In this case, you have to explain why the sentence given is semantically odd, which relates to the use of the words in a specific context where you would not normally use them.

5 importance of the media in a democratic country like south africa

egoroff_w [7]

The importance of media in a democratic country generally lies in informing the citizens about the issues relevant for them.

Let's take for example the current US election. While the candidates are presenting themselves in the most favourable light possible, it is the role of the media to report on what they actually did in the past.

Please help with spanish online class!

The most basic form of Spanish verbs is the infinitive. So infinitive verbs aren't conjugated and doesn't tell us anything about who is performing an action or the tense of the sentence. Thus, we need to translate the phrase by finding the infinitive and conjugating it to match the subject.

<h2>1. Right answer:</h2><h3>ayudas</h3><h3 />

Ayudas is the conjugation of the verb ayudar for the second person singular in the simple present. The simple present tense is used to talk about habitual actions or routines. This tense is also used to describe things that happen now or in the near future. Therefore, we have:

<u>IN ENGLISH:</u>

<em>You </em><em>help</em>

<u>IN SPANISH:</u>

<em>Tú </em><em>ayudas</em>

<h2>2. Right answer:</h2><h3>cenan</h3><h3 />

Cenan is the conjugation of the verb cenar for the third person plural in the simple present. This person matches <em>ellos </em>and means <em>they </em>in English. On the other hand, <em>to have dinner</em><em> </em>translates into <em>cenar</em> Therefore, we have:

<u>IN ENGLISH:</u>

<em>They </em><em>have dinner</em>

<u>IN SPANISH:</u>

<em>Ellos </em><em>cenan</em>

<h2>3. Right answer:</h2><h3>esperan</h3><h3 />

Esperan is the conjugation of the verb esperar for the third person plural in the simple present. As you can see, we also use they (ellos) here. On the other hand, <em>to wait</em><em> </em>translates into <em>esperar </em>that is a verb meaning a period of time during you wait for something. Therefore, we have:

<u>IN ENGLISH:</u>

<em>They </em><em>wait</em>

<u>IN SPANISH:</u>

<em>Ellos </em><em>esperan</em>

<h2>4. Right answer:</h2><h3>respondes</h3><h3 />

Respondes is the conjugation of the verb responder for the second person singular in the simple present.This person is tú and matches you in English. On the other hand, <em>to answer</em><em> </em>translates into <em>responder</em>. Therefore, we have:

<u>IN ENGLISH:</u>

<em>You </em><em>answer</em>

<u>IN SPANISH:</u>

<em>Tú </em><em>respondes</em>
