STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt

English
1 answer:
NISA [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

just took this test ! the previous answer was excellent, though i'd still like to contribute by seconding from a directly experienced point of view.

1. to imply the main idea of the article

it is clear that though we have the ability to spark a flame with ease, in previous times this was far more difficult to do. it adds to the main idea discussing the importance of matches today.

2. it shows the need for matches

this answer emulates the last one, with a similar idea of how crucial matches are to us. we should be incredibly grateful to have access to an instrument that can produce such a resilient flame.

3. thesaraus

thesarauses are used to find synonyms and antonyms of words, so similar words and opposite words. this student is searching for a word like confusion. he can find confusion in the theasaraus and use the resource to search for a better word.

What change, if any, should the author make to sentence 8 to correct the problem of subject-verb agreement? A. NO CHANGE B. "Nei
fredd [130]

D. "Neither my friends nor my family cares about me," said Finlay.

In this sentence there are two subjects, "friends" and "family". Since the conjunction "neither...nor" is used, the subject-verb agreement gets a little tricky. If both subjects were singular, as in he or she, the verb must agree with a singular subject. This is because it is either one or the other not both. In this sentence, one subject is plural, friends, and one subject is singular, family. Family is considered a collective noun, so even though there are many people in the family, there is only one family. Since family is closest to the verb and it is singular, "to care" must be in the singular form. Option B and C are wrong because the verbs "were" and "are" are plural verbs.
