Answer:

The sentence that contains an error in subject-verb agreement is the following one: Most of the class eat lunch at school.

Explanation:

Subject verb agreement means that the verb and the subject must agree in number. This means that both need to be singular or both need to be plural. In the sentence above, the subject and the verb do not agree in number. In order to identify this problem, you need to identify the subject of the sentence.

The subject of the sentence is the NP "most of the class". The verb should agree in number with the noun head,  which is "class". "Class" is a collective noun, so you should take into account that it can be used to refer a group as a unit or to its members as individuals. In this case, the noun refers to whole group, so the verb should be treated as singular and should contain the -s. The revised version of the sentence would be as follows: Most of the class eats lunch at school.

Answer:

Simple sentence.

Explanation:

A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

IV. Compound-Complex sentence.

In English language, a simple sentence can be defined as a sentence that comprises of a single independent clause, a predicate or verb and a subject. Also, the subject in a simple sentence is joined together by a conjunction such as "and" and "because" to reflect the action that is being performed or done by the verb in the sentence.

An independent clause can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple sentence and comprises of at least a subject and a verb (predicate).

Some examples of an independent clause are;

She is a wise woman.

I like her.

She read the whole novel.

Hence, the statement "I really miss teaching in person because I miss seeing students' faces." is a simple sentence.

Which literary technique is used in the excerpt from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Flashback

Explanation:

Novel Frankenstein is written in flashback method. The story in Frankenstein's dialogs and almost the whole novel is told in flashback. This way of telling a story is good because we have the impression that there are no mediums between the characters, it makes it a first hand story.

Flashback is a method that represents the disconnection of chronological order. When the story is told in flashback one continuous action is interrupted by the events that happened in the past. This way the writer gives us the background of the story and at the same time he continues with the story.
