The question below refers to the selection "By the Waters of Babylon." The narrator’s voice is best described as

"Ambush," O’Brien describes killing a man while serving in war. He had no intention of killing him—he reacted without thinking. O’Brien feels guilty about having killed another human being, even though his fellow soldier tries to soothe him with the logic that the man would have been killed eventually anyway. However, trying to justify having killed someone, O’Brien explains that his training as a soldier prompted him to act involuntarily when he lobbed the grenade upon spotting an enemy soldier. Twenty years later, long after the war has ended, O’Brien is unable to admit to his daughter, Kathleen, that he has killed another person. He feels guilt and denial about having killed a man, and experiences recurrent flashbacks and visions. Through his story, O’Brien conveys that a soldier is a changed person after he has witnessed such a war, and those who have not been in a war cannot begin to understand the emotional turmoil that soldiers go through.

8. Don't throw rubbish on the street, Pete. We must protect our environment.

Explanation:

We use the imperative form to give orders, instructions, or to warn someone about something. To write sentences in the imperative form, we have to write the verb in the infinitive, and if it is a negative command, we have to write the do not or don't and the verb in the infinitive.

For example, if we want to give an instruction, we can say -Turn on the right- the verb is in the infinite form, the subject may or may not be present since the person can deduce to whom we are saying the command. An example of a sentence where we use the negative form can be - Don't run in the hallways- In this case, we use the auxiliary verb do and the auxiliary not followed by the verb.

Although they rarely said it, some of those who focused on the effects of cycling on women's sexual and reproductive health had

lara [203]

The correct sentence is option three.

In the excerpt from "Wheels of Change," the author Sue Macy conveys that some disapproved of women riding bicycles because they feared it would give women greater independence. In the first place, cycling encouraged women's independence - they did not need to be taken anywhere because they had their means of transportation, which they could use on their own. As a result, women could evade the vigilant observation of their parents.
