Answer:

A. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world.

Explanation:

Options B through D simply do not make any sense. They overuse words, and are far too long. Sentence 2 starts off with "That ancient land was located in the Middle East." So it would make sense to start the revised sentence that way. Add "The Middle East" to sentence 1, and there you go.

Answer:

A. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world.

Explanation:

It is grammatically correct and gets rid of the wordiness of two sentences.

Why the other choices are not as good:

B. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, and the Middle East is a hot and sunny part of the world.

This is basically the same as the original: there is nothing grammatically incorrect, but it is just too wordy.

C. A hot and sunny part of the world is the ancient land the Middle East.

This sentence changes it such that the focus is no longer on the ancient land or Middle East and rather on the "hot and sunny part".

D. Located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world, that ancient land.

This sentence is grammatically incorrect, because it has only a dependent clause.

Damm [24]

Answer:

Puerto Rico was Spanish (Europe) who used African slaves.

Explanation:

Food (as well as music) is a perfect analogy to describe the colonial history of any Latin American country. The food of Puerto Rico, like it´s music, will show the Spanish and the African influence on the traditional cuisine of Puerto Rico.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

When I was on my way home I tried to cross a busy road while standing by the road I met an old man, and I can clearly see that he might have problems crossing this busy road. So I decided to talk to the old man and offer my help, and at the same time assure him that he will be safe if he walks through with me he simply responded not to worry about him as he has crossed this road many times before, while slightly disappointed I realized that it’s better that he knows how to cross the road by himself in case people wouldn’t have been as courteous as I was.

Who is the "true gentleman" in the play?<br> Higgins<br> Doolittle<br> Freddy<br> Pickering
mr_godi [17]
While Colonel Pickering is not what all would consider to being a "true gentleman", he is the closest to it. He has more respect toward Eliza than Higgins, whose only concern is for himself. Doolittle is only a selfish, terrrible father, and Freddy is not in love with Eliza, but merely wants to use her. Thus Colonel Pickering is the closest character to being a "true gentleman".
