Answer:

<em>It became the most important place of visit because Thomas a Becket was murdered there, and for his remembrance.</em>

Explanation:

Just after the death of Thomas Becket, Pope Alexander elevated him  to sainthood. Becket's shrine at Canterbury now became the most popular place in the country for pilgrims to visit.

When Becket was murdered, local people seemingly tried to acquire the  pieces of his cloth soaked in  blood.

<em>A rumour started speculating that, once the people is touched by this cloth, they will be epilepsy, leprosy and blindness.</em>

<em>After sometime  the monks at Canterbury Priory were selling small glass bottles of blood of Thomas Becket to visitors.</em>

Read the following paragraph, and choose the best revision for one of its sentences.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

b. Because every other office is filled, we should convert Dr. Blake’s office into a lounge.

Explanation:

Looking at the sentence of the whole passage, the flow of the sentences is smooth until the parallel structuring of the sentences in the end. Instead of mentioning "<em><u>each and every one of the other offices</u></em>", the sentence can be made more fluent and easy flowing by just saying "<em><u>every other office</u></em>". This will also stop the monotonous flow of words. Also, changing the way of narration in the word "recommend" to a direct form of addressing the idea will make the statement more forward and direct.

Thus, the best revision for the sentence will be-

<u>Because every other office is filled, we should convert Dr. Blake’s office into a lounge.</u>

Read the excerpt from Warriors Don't Cry."Then you don't have anything to be concerned about." Mother Lois maneuvered through th
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The streets are unusually crowded.

Explanation:

"Warriors Don't Cry" by Melba Pattillo Beals is an autobiographical account of the Civil war and the anti racism movement of which she was a huge part. She along with some black men and women, displayed extreme courage and dedication to bring about change during the most turbulent of times in American history.

The given excerpt from the text shows a great deal of repetition where Beals talked of how many cars and traffic was there, with the "unusual" number of whites too. This repetition laid emphasis on the "unusually" crowded streets which never used to be before. This also led the narrator to fear but also at the same time, be aware of the changes that she and the the blacks had to endure.
