The Chairman,
Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area,
Aba.
Sir,
PETITION AGAINST THE PLANNED CLOSURE OF OSISIOMA ORPHANAGE HOME
It has come to my knowledge that Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area intends to close down the Osisioman Orphanage Home due to scarcity of funds to continue the smooth running of the orphanage home.
Sir, I wish to remind you that the well-being of the people is the primary responsibility of government. Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area has the highest number of homeless children and orphans in Abia State. Closure of this orphanage implies that these children will be sent out to the street without anyone to carter for them.
The danger of having such massive number of children out on the streets is that they may be turned into criminals by unscrupulous elements in society who seek to exploit the vulnerability of this group of people to achieve their selfish ends.
We are already overwhelmed by the current security challenges in this part of the state, we definitely do not want to create more problems for ourselves by churning out potential hoodlums from this orphanage home.
I beg you sir to rescind your earlier decision and allow the orphanage home to continue in the interest of common good.
Thanks in anticipation of your positive response.
Yours Faithfully,
Jude Njoku
D. I did not remember that fact until my older sister reminded me.
Among the sentences presented, this is the sentence that contains an adverb clause, "I did not remember that fact until my older sister reminded me." The adverb clause in this sentence is "until my older sister reminded me". An adverb clause is simply a part of the sentence that contains a subject and a verb with a subordinate conjunction. The subordinate conjunction do not allow the clause to have a complete meaning. An adverb clause also answers to the question how, when, where and why. In this case, the adverb clause answers to the question "how".
I don't know what story this is from or what is really happening; however, from what I can tell, the author uses the phrase "the annals of parental vigilance" to heavily imply that Daisy's parents are extremely rigid in how they raise her, in an orthodox fashion. "Annals" is defined as yearly record keeping, and "parental vigilance" means that the mother is one that is always watching and correcting her child (from what I can tell.

Answer
English (and most other Western-European languages) adopted many words from Latin and Greek throughout history, because especially Latin was the Lingua Franca all through Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and later.
However, English has many more words borrowed from Latin than have other Germanic languages, which it owes to the conquest of England by the Normans in the year 1066. The Normans spoke Norman French, which was still much closer to Latin than modern French, especially in spelling. From then on, French was used as the language of administration for a while, and much of this was incorporated into English even as the influence of Norman culture in England waned.
Note that, very, very long ago, in prehistoric times, the Germanic and Italic branches (the ancestor of Latin) diverged from the (supposed) proto-language called Proto-Indo-European. That's why e.g. English, Greek, Russian, Persian, Urdu, and Latin have certain things in common, although most similarities are now only apparent to the trained eye. The similarities you see between English and Latin are mostly caused by what happened after 1066.
