Hi there!
In the Odyssey, Melantho is a foil to Eurynome and Eurykleia.
Melantho, the sibling of Melanthios, is a palace servant who is loyal to the suitors rather than the Queen. In order to die in the most humiliating way, she is hanged.
In literature, a foil character is a character that is opposite to the main character in personality, physical appearance, or both.
The subject-verb agreement rule which is being broken in the sentence above is c<span>ollective subjects functioning as a unit require singular verbs.
The collective subject <em>the crew </em>requires a singular verb, because it denotes a single unit. So, instead of using the verb <em>have visited, </em>it should have been <em>has visited. </em></span>
<u>The correct answer is A. What proof the tipster is able to provide.</u>
The reason why it's anonymous is probably because <em>the person providing the information doesn't feel comfortable providing their identity</em>. That's why we have so many tip lines that assure us we won't be asked for our names, information about where we live or even how we know what we know. All they care about is the information we provide and the accuracy of it.
Hence the correct answer can't be C or D. Just imagine what would happen to the tipster if they are quoted or exposed. They want the crime to stop but they don't want to be harmed for being the people talking about it.
In order to stop the crime or expose it, it is<u><em> necessary</em></u> for the reporter to have <em>concrete evidence</em> of it. Without proof, the reporter won't be able to check if the tip is true. His reputation is also undermined if what he publishes turns out to be fake, so proof is very important.
Answer B it's also incorrect because the <em>intention </em>of the tipster should be <em>irrelevant</em>. Also by stating why they want to talk, they'd be revealing who they are to the criminals (or at least give them an idea) and they wouldn't remain anonymous anymore.
Answer:
Our atmosphere helps protect the earth from collisions with small objects, however, when the atmosphere can't protect it from big objects the effects can go far beyond the crater. any scientists think that the collision that happened between the large space rock and Earth 65 millino years ago may have been the cause for the global destruction that caused teh dinosaurs to go extinct.
