Answer:

The desk was covered with books, the rug was littered with games, and the bed was covered with clothes; <u>however</u>, Sam claimed that his room was not messy.

Explanation:

Transitional words are used to link ideas in a sentence, paragraph, or a text. As the name suggests, they help the speaker/author transition from one idea to another smoothly, even if the ideas are different or opposite.

In the sentence we are studying here, the writer describes a room that is clearly messy to most people's standards. Books, games, and books are carelessly tossed all around. It would be only natural for Sam to agree that the room is far from being neat. However, he does not. We need "however" to make this transition because it connects opposing ideas. The other options, "therefore", "while", and "finally" would not convey this discrepancy between Sam's opinion and reality.

Which best compares the structure of Silent Spring and "Save the Redwoods"? Silent Spring starts with a positive picture and end

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Silent Spring starts with a positive picture and ends with a negative picture, while "Save the Redwoods" starts with a negative picture and ends with a positive picture.

Explanation:

"Silent Spring" is a book written by Rachel Carson. The book sheds the light on the harmful effects of chemical pesticides on agriculture. She opened her book by describing an idyllic nature that is filled with beautiful plants, fish, animals, wildflowers, etc. The writer then slowly moves towards how these fields and towns are being destroyed by using harmful chemical pesticides.

"Save the Redwoods", on the other hand, is an essay written by John Muir. The essayy talks about saving the King of Forest 'Redwoods.' His essay began with the news of trees being cut down. Then, he goes on to explain the importance of saving the redwood trees and ends his essay with a good news that the Government has passed the bill of acquiring Calaveras giants, which will ensure the preservation of Redwood trees.

Thus the correct answer is the first option.

Which pronoun correctly completes the sentence? Send the letter to __________ is the editor in chief. A. whoever B. whomever

marta [7]

The sentence should be "Send the letter to whomever is editor in chief", since in this case the person receiving the letter is the indirect object, and that is when "whomever" is used.
