Consolidate comes from the Latin roots com- ("together") and solidare ("to make solid"). So, consolidate is to bring things together to make something solid, stronger, or easier to handle.
Answer:
D. "Oh sweetheart, you must be the first kid ever who cheated to make his temperature lower."
Explanation:
'Snow Day' is a short story written by W.M. Akers. The story is about Ned, who is suffering from a high fever and it is a snow day– rare and never to be missed.
As Ned sees outside his window other children playing in the snow, he also dresses in the snow day clothes. But his mother stopped her from going outside. Ned is desperate to go outside and play so tried to cheat with his temperature by putting a thermometer in a glass filled with ice cubes. So, this evidence supports the conclusion that Ned was desperate to play outside in the snow.
Therefore, option D is correct.
It's "computers", because they're the subject of the verb to be.
I think.
