The Answer is A. "Fires behave extremely differently, and it is hard to create the same fire experiment twice."
Answer:
As if merely <em><u>subsisting</u></em> according to his self-imposed rules weren’t strenuous enough…
Explanation:
The word "subsist" is a gerund that means sustenance, dependent, survival on one's own. In other words, it means the ability or capacity to support and survive by oneself on a minimal level.
The given line<em> "as if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough..."</em> is from Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild." The lines go like this-
<em>As if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough, Rosellini also exercised compulsively whenever he wasn't occupied with foraging. He filled his days with calisthenics, weight lifting, and running, often with a load of rocks on his back. During one apparently typical summer, he reported covering an average of eighteen miles daily.</em>
Thus, the correct word for the blank in the line is "subsisting".
Answer:
Dear Cousin,
I agree with Paine when he said that the colonies need independence from Great Britain. Our colonies have been striving well. We can make our own naval fleet bigger than the British Navy. If we build our own, then maybe we can grow and trade with other countries with much ease. We should not depend on Britain, because we will never grow as a nation. Independence will allow us to grow and prosper, much bigger than the country that has colonized us.
Your cousin,
Blank
