False

The Y rule: When a root ends in y, change the y to i when adding a suffix (easy + est = easiest; happy + ness = happiness). Exceptions: Keep the y if a vowel comes before it (play + er = player; joy + ful = joyful).

Which of the four major types of conflict best describes a situation discussed in in “The Gift of The Magi”

DedPeter [7]

There are four major types of conflict in a story: character versus self, character versus character, character versus society, and character versus nature. In this story, one might argue that the main conflict exists between Della Dillingham and herself (character vs. self) because she agonizes over what to get for her husband, Jim, for Christmas, as well as how to pay for it. She's only been able to save $1.87, and she is heartbroken that she will not be able to get him the kind of gift she feels he deserves: something of which he can be proud. Della wrestles a bit with herself, hence the conflict, eventually deciding to sell her hair in order to have enough money for such a gift.

One might also argue that the main conflict takes place between Della and Jim (character vs. character). Remember that conflict doesn't necessarily mean that one side is good, a hero, and one side is evil, a villain. To be an antagonist in literature means that one is an opposing force, an instrument of plot development, and perhaps an agent of change on the part of the protagonist. In the end, both Della and Jim have sold their most prized possessions in order to purchase something nice for the other, and those sales have rendered the gifts they receive essentially unusable.

Scientists report (1) that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death. Millions of undiscovered species

ICE Princess25 [194]

Here is the task to do:
rewrite this correcting fragments and run on sentences can someone check my work below the original.

Scientist reports that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death. Millions of undiscovered species live in the deep sea. Creatures in the seabed are suffering from growing food shortages, which may be a result of rising sea temperatures. Scientist believes that some species will die out, and those that can survive on a low food supply will continue living. Not much is known about the creatures that live in the deep sea, and not much is known about the changes in their diets. Scientist estimates that up to 10 million species live in the depths of the sea. Most animals of the deep rely on food chains that begin in the lighted realms of the sea. Microscopic plants called Phytoplankton capture the sun and start the food cycle. Wherever there are animal droppings, there is a constant rain of organic matter that feeds the bottom dwellers.
