Answer:
The sentence that has an error in subject-verb agreement is:
His discoveries was a combination of luck and hard work.
Explanation:
When we say a subject and a verb have to agree, we mean the verb must be inflected in accordance to the subject. If the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb is also plural. The verb "to be", especially, is quite an irregular verb, and requires due attention.
Having that in mind, we can say the sentence that contains an error is "His discoveries was a combination of luck and hard work." The noun "discoveries" is the main word of the subject, and it is plural. However, the verb "was" (past form of the verb "to be") can only be used for singular subjects. For the sentence to be correct, it should be:
His discoveries were a combination of luck and hard work.
Answer:
The statement that best describes the Gothic content of Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" is:
D. Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.
Explanation:
<u>There are several themes explored in Gothic literature, and sin is among them.</u> In Hawthorne's <u>"The Scarlet Letter", set in Puritan Boston of the 1600's</u>, sin is the definitely the main theme. Of course, since the book was published in 1850, the concept of sin had been greatly altered. While<u> the characters in the story suffer terribly from the accusations of being sinners</u>, or the fear of being accused to be so, the society that actually read the book saw them as human beings who make mistakes and deserve forgiveness.
<u>The main character, Hester Prynne, is shamed for being an adulteress. She is punished and shunned by a vengeful society. The very man who had an affair with her, on the other hand, hides his sin, afraid of owning up to it and being punished as well.</u> For that reason, we can choose letter D as the best option: Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.
