How should a river be used? Should it provide clean drinking water for the people living nearby? Should it be used as a source o

f hydroelectric power for cities downstream? Should it be used for fishing, rafting, or transporting goods from place to place? Should it be used for watering crops? Or should it remain in its natural state, unaffected by the activities of humans? These questions have never been answered to everyone's satisfaction. All over the world, rivers have been dammed, drained, and diverted for watering, transportation, energy production, and recreation. Farmers are irate when they can't use river water for their crops. Those who make their living from fishing are unhappy when farmers take the water or when farm pesticides and fertilizers pollute it. Strong and sometimes even violent disagreements occur over how best to use this limited resource.
Why does the first paragraph ask a series of questions?
a) to persuade the reader to support river conservation movements
b) to help readers decide what our rivers should really be used for
c) to show the reader the conflicting demands on our water resources
d) to show readers the water problems created by prior appropriation

Hummingbirds are attracted to all flowers, ______ those with tubular or trumpet shapes. Which best fills in the blank? A. in fac
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

D. In particular.

Explanation:

The use of the phrase "in particular" points to the specificity of the thing or person talked about. It is used to make particular reference to a thing or person.

In the given sentence, the blank will be filled by "in particular" because it shows the specific type of flowers that hummingbirds are attracted to. By pointing out that "tubular or trumpet shapes" are particularly liked by them, it specifies the type of flowers they like.

So, the sentence will be-

<em>"Hummingbirds are attracted to all flowers, </em><u><em>in particular</em></u><em>, those with tubular or trumpet shapes."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

In medieval romances, there is often a character
Veseljchak [2.6K]

<u>Hidden characteristics of of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight:</u>

Sir Gwain and the Green Knight is a medieval romance in as far as it deals with adventures of a brave and courageous knight, Sir Gawain, who accepts the challenges of a Green Knight and beheads him once with the Green Knight’s axe in King Arthur’s court as per the Green Knight’s wish.  

The condition that the green knight puts forth before giving the challenge is that he would return it in a year and a day in the green chapel. Actually, it is a game.  After he is beheaded once, he gives his head to the queen of King Arthur’s court and rides away.

In the end, the Green Knight turns out to be Bertilak, the lord of a castle that Sir Gawain visits on his way to the green chapel  and stays on in on the request of the lord.

He is transformed into the Green Knight by magic of King Arthur’s sister, a sorceress who wanted to test Arthur’s Knights. He is the hidden character who reveals his true identity in the end after Gawain overcomes his trials.  

Gawain is saved from the Green Knight’s blow because of the girdle gifted  to him by Lady Bertilak. In the end, Lord Bertilak calls him a blameless Knight in the whole land.
