Answer: A. She sees Maggie as a shy girl who hides in the shadows, but she thinks that Dee is a show-off who makes her opinions known.
Explanation:
<em>"Everyday Use"</em> is a short story which explores the relationship between a mother and her two daughters. It was written by Alice Walker and published in 1973.
The two sisters, Dee and Maggie, are quite different. Dee often shows arrogance and lack of sensitivity. While Maggie suffers from extreme shyness, Dee is confident and proud and is not afraid to express her opinion. Over the course of the story, Mama (the narrator of the story) describes Maggie as shy and makes it clear that she disapproves of Dee's superiority.
Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the underlined pronoun. Thus, the complete sentence is the following:
Nathan told Nadir that <u>his</u> nerves would impact the horse's ability to carry them through the competition.
Answer:
Case: nominative
Reference: ambiguous
Sentence rewritten: After seeing that Nadir was nervous, Nathan told him that nerves would impact the horse's ability to carry them through the competition.
Explanation:
The possessive adjective his functions as nominative case because the noun phrase his nerves functions as the subject of a verb. Besides, it creates ambiguity because it is not clear whose nerves it refers to - Nathan or Nadir's. As a result, it is necessary to rewrite the sentence to clarify whose nerves affect the horse's performance.
