Read the passage from "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania (August 23, 1769)." Dearest Father, Brother, and Siste

r and Brother-in-law, I have told you quite fully about the trip, and I will tell you what will not surprise you—that we have a free country. Of the sundry craftsmen, one may do whatever one wants. Nor does the land require payment of tithes [taxes to support a local landlord, typical in Europe]. . . . The land is very big from Canada to the east of us to Carolina in the south and to the Spanish border in the west. . . . One can settle wherever one wants without asking anyone when he buys or leases something. . . . What does the author have in mind when he calls America a "free country"?

Explanation:

In "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania" America is the symbol for a free country. By this adjective "free" the author wants to explain how is America a place for living. Free means that everyone is welcome to come.  The author creates a picture of America, where you can settle without asking everyone, where there is a wide landscape, spacious land "from Canada to the east of us to Carolina in the south and to the Spanish border in the west".

One of the most important detail is there is no payment for taxes to land, but in Europe, you must pay. Free country for author means there are no obligations for living there. He thinks that America is promised land.

SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!! FIRST ONE TO ANSWER CORRECTLY GETS A BRAINLIEST ANSWERWhich sentence uses a verb that agrees wit
Dafna11 [192]
Hello, so the verb is the action and the compound subject is going to be our second subject in the sentence. To distinguish whether it is corresponding or not we are going to make sure that it is in the right tense, person, etc.
So lets look at our options
Our first sentence has the first subject plural but not the second subject, and an improper use of the verb making this sentence grammatically incorrect.
Our second sentence the verb and compound correspond correctly so no mistakes here.
The third sentence we are distinguishing whether we use begun or began. Began is past tense and begun is past participle.
The last sentence is grammatically incorrect because the action/verb 'stores' does not correspond with our compound subject.
So that leaves us with the answer being B.
I hope I helped! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation please let me know! :)
