Explanation:
Answer:
2. Any person whose last name begins with the letters A through M should join the first line.
Explanation:
Correct grammar is the use of correct punctuation or the different parts of speech or the subject-verb agreement or even simple things like correct pronouns etc.
Among the given examples, sentence 2 uses correct grammar. This is because 'whose' introduces the relative clause that helps readers understand the possessive nature of the nouns in the sentence.
Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
Scout, in her mature naivete, states what it means quite succinctly:
In Maycomb, grown men stood outside in the front yard for only two reasons: death and politics. I wondered who had died. Jem and I went to the front door, but Atticus called, "Go back in the house."
The reflects the kind of small-town mentality exhibited throughout the story. Men only call you out into your yard to relay the news of a death, or to express support or disapproval for political candidates and causes. Scout doesn't understand the true nature of the mob appearing (although she will later in the chapter), so she asks "who had died." Atticus clearly does understand, as he orders his children back into the house.
Aunt Alexandra does not directly state her thoughts on Tom's innocence of guilt, but she does express her ideas about Atticus defending him. Scout relates that she heard the end of a conversation between Atticus and Aunt Alexandra, in which Atticus tells her that he's:
". . . in favor of Southern womanhood as much as anybody, but not for preserving polite fiction at the expense of human life," a pronouncement that made me suspect they had been fussing again.
I sought Jem and found him in his room, on the bed deep in thought. "Have they been at it?" I asked.
"Sort of. She won't let him alone about Tom Robinson. She almost said Atticus was disgracin' the family Scout.
Thus, it doesn't really matter to Aunt Alexandra whether or not Tom is innocent, or whether or not he gets a fair trial. All she cares about, as she proves time & time again, is the family name. To her, Atticus' defense of a black man is akin to disgrace for an old, established family like the Finches. Of course, she may truly think Tom deserves a fair trial, but she doesn't want her brother to be the one to ensure he gets it.
Hope this helped! (;
Answer:
B. participles
Explanation:
Participles are words created from verbs, that are used as an adjective. For example, the word winning is a verb. But in this sentence, "The winning competitor wins the trophy." the word winning is used to describe someone and not necessarily just the action they have participated in.
D is not your answer. Someone who is bitter and exhausted has learned something that made them bitter and exhausted. They have changed.
C is not your answer. We have a hook here. We're drawn in to find out why she is different. That's not a flat character.
A is not your answer. These twins have a conflict. It is a natural way to develop a story.
B as charming as he sounds, his charm and wit lead us nowhere. He is a foil for the main character. Our pleasure in him is only momentary. B is the answer.
