Dear Taylor.
This week I had to write an essay on the end of the Romanov dynasty and although this is an easy topic to find in books and on the internet, I would like to make my essay more diverse in terms of research source and that's when my sister recommended looking for a documentary about the Romanovs, which I did and gave me very good results.
The documentary told the whole story of the Romanov dynasty, until the murder of the last Tzar and his entire family. The documentary focused a lot on all the elements that led to the fall of the last Romanovs in addition to showing curiosities about the personal life of each member of the family.
The documentary helped me a lot to understand this phase of the history of Russia and how it impacted the whole government and society, but in addition, the documentary helped me to have a more humanistic view of family members and understand their anxieties, fears and injustice. Although the documentary showed me that the family needed to harness power, it also showed me that deep down they were just humans prone to mistakes like all of us and did not deserve the end they had. My writing was great and I received several compliments from the teacher, for that reason, I felt entitled to send you the file with the documentary and to know your opinion about it. Wait for your comments anxiously.
All the best.

Answer:
option A. In "A Modest Proposal" Jonathan Swift criticizes society by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them.
Explanation:
"A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by Swift in 1729. In it, the author argues, ironically, that a suitable solution for helping the starving children of Ireland would be to fatten them all and later feed them to the rich Irish land-owners. By suggesting these, Swift is giving the statement that the Irish society, specially the high class of land owners, care so little about the children that they would be more willing to sell them and eat them than to actually help them.
The correct answer is: [A]:
________________________________________________________
"People will not get ahead if they do not study."
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Note that one (1) feature of an "adverb clause" is that an "adverb clause" must begin with a "subordinating conjunction".
________________________________________________________
The only answer choices provided that meet this criterion are:
________________________________________________________
Choice: [A]: "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"— which is—" if ".
________________________________________________________
Choice: [C]: " Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today ".
In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"
— which is—"Because" .
________________________________________________________
Note the other criteria for "adverb clauses" — as follows:
________________________________________________________
1) Adverb clauses are "modifiers".
2) Adverb clauses contain both a subject AND a verb.
3) Adverb clauses, on their own, do not form complete sentences.
_______________________________________________________
Consider: Choice: [C]:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today."
→ Note: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction—"Because" (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defense driving lessons" ;
→ This is NOT an "adverb clause". An "adverb clause" must contain BOTH a "noun" AND a "verb"— and this particular clause does NOT contain a "verb".
Rule out "Choice: [C] " .
___________________________________________________________
Consider:
"Choice: [A]: "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
→ <u>Note</u>: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction"—" if " (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
" if they do not study ."
_______________________________________________________
→ Note the following:
_______________________________________________________
1) This clause contains BOTH a "noun" —which is: "they" (a subject pronoun referring to "people"); AND a "verb" —which is: "do [not] study" .
2) This clause modifies "people" .
3) This clause is a NOT a sentence if it stands alone.
___________________________________________________________
Thus; this very answer choice: "Answer choice: [A]:
__________________________________________________________
→ "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
__________________________________________________________
→ is the only sentence —
(among the answer choices provided) —
that: 1) is an "adverb clause" ; AND:
that: 2) is the correct answer.

Answer:
Answer B) It proves that the nursing home is not a pleasant place for Abuelo to live.
Explanation:
Answer A is not correct because there is no mention of any hospital.
Answer C although may sound correct, it mentions that the narrator was put off by the smell. If it were the correct answer, the narrator wouldn't feel as disgusted as they feel.
Answer D really has no relation to the excerpt. It could be true, but it is not demonstrated in <em>this</em> excerpt.
The only answer that is related to the excerpt and states plainly the point of the text is Answer B.
