It is D because once the heavy dark cloud is rushing in from the horizon it means the storm is coming in

Illusion [34]3 years ago
3 0

The revision that corrects the sentence is D) Heavy, black clouds rushing in from the horizon mean a storm is coming.

The sentence is incorrect because it is incomplete. "Heavy, black clouds rushing in from the horizon" is only the subject of the sentence; therefore, it must be followed by a verb. "Rushing in from the horizon" is not the predicate of the sentence but a participial phrase working as an adjective modifying the noun "clouds". Therefore, option D) is correct because it is the only one that provides a predicate for the incomplete sentence ("mean a storm is coming").  On the other hand, option A), B) and C) leave the sentence incomplete and add another sentence (in the case of A. and B.) or a subordinate clause instead (introduced by "when" in C.).

tangare [24]

Answer:

The term<u> free speech</u> refers to all of the types of mechanisms and structures that permit  people to communicate their political wants with institutions of government.

Explanation:

Freedom of speech means the right to communicate and express ones opinion, idea, pass information freely without the oppression or restrictions of institutions of government. A person or a community can express their ideas and opinions without the fear of being marginalized. They are free to speak out or communicate freely without the fear of retaliation or legal sanctions from government institutions.

In the United States, people are free to criticize the government and question policies freely. The government also encourage the promotion of ideas and beliefs that other people may find controversial or offensive but everyone is entitled to their opinions and free speech. So what might be offensive to a person may not be to another.
