Answer:(B)that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town

Explanation

(A)The comparatives used in A are 'the closer ... the more. The correct way of writing this would be the more one came ... the more the city air became...'

Another <u><em>mistake in A is redundancy - 'more' and 'increasingly'. </em></u>

(B)that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town

No redundancy. Conveys the meaning well.  

(C)that coming closer to town, the city air became increasingly acidic.(example of dangling modifier)

(D)that the more the city air became increasingly acidic, the closer one was to town.(It is the example of inverse cause-effect.)

(E)the city air becoming increasingly acidic as one would come closer to town( use of <u>would come i</u>s wrong here)

Who is responsible for ending slavery?
Nataly_w [17]

"Abraham Lincoln" is responsible for ending slavery.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lincoln started his political career by saying he was antislavery against the expansion of slavery but not advocating for immediate emancipation. Nevertheless, the man who started as antislavery finally released the Proclamation of Emancipation, which liberated all slaves in revolutionary nations.

Lincoln abolished slavery to destabilize the Southern resistance, reinforce the Federal government and promote free blacks to quarrel in the Union army, thereby maintaining the Union.
