The<span> best replacement for the underlined word is </span>argue. This is because when a critic tells an opinion, the he or she is arguing or opposing to what common people will notice.
I am not sure what you are asking here. If you are asking what parallel structure looks like, you would have to keep the verb tenses the same. For example, Sam likes to ride bikes, hike trails, and bake bread. What is does NOT look like: Sam likes to ride bikes, go hiking on trails, and baked bread with her grandmother. The structure words would be based of the passage you were given, which isn't supplied here. If you were asked to write a paragraph using a parallel structure, follow the example given here.
The question is asking which answer choice DOES NOT make sense about a theme of a story.
You could use choice A, C, and D as definitions for theme. So your answer that does not fit is B.
Answer = B. The theme of a short story is the plot- the actions that lead up to the story's resolution.
Good Luck! :)
In my opinion, there are two possible reasons.
First, the government probably does not think these guys are any kind of a threat to them. I mean, so what if there are some people out walking around when no one knows they're there? It's like the thing about the tree falling in the forest with no one around.
