Which of these examples shows the most effective transition from the first sentence to the second?A. New screening techniques ar

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

I believe the best answer to be letter C. New screening techniques are being developed to combat computer viruses. These techniques are the subject of a new research effort at Big State University.

Explanation:

We can readily eliminate letter B due to the inappropriate use of "nevertheless" - we do not have contrasting ideas that would justify its use.

Being left with letters A, C, and D, we can notice that letters A and D are quite ambiguous. They both use third-person plural pronouns, "they" and "them" respectively, to substitute a noun previously used. However, it is not clear if those pronouns refer to the plural noun "techniques" or to the plural noun "viruses". <u>That is why letter C is the best option. The writer made a point of clarifying that he/she is talking about the techniques, not the viruses. Therefore, I believe the correct option to be letter C. New screening techniques are being developed to combat computer viruses. These techniques are the subject of a new research effort at Big State University.</u>

In at least 150 words, provide a synopsis or summary of the events of Act I, Scene 1 of A Midsummer Night's Dream

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

In the Act 1, Scene 1 of literary work A Midsummer Night's Dream, the Duke of Athens, Theseus is looking forward to his marriage to Hippolyta which is barely four days away.

Egeus enters the court to ask for the Duke's advice concerning his daughter Hermia and her marriage. He (Egeus) has already agreed for Demetrius to get married to Hermia but unfortunately his daughter is in love with Lysander who is also interested in getting married to her.

The Duke reminds him that by law, his daughter should marry whoever her father chooses for her otherwise he can have her killed.

Hermia pleads with the Duke for clemency and he gives her until the day of his wedding to make up her mind or face death.

Lysander, the one Hermia loves tries to broker peace by saying it is Demetrius that Hermia loves.

After they leave court, Lysander and Hermia plan to elope to his aunt's place and get married because they would be outside the reach of Athenian law.

Helena is a maiden that is in love with Demetrius but is frustrated because he is not interested in her. Hermia takes Helena into her confidence and tells her that they plan to elope the next day and then she would be free to get married to Demetrius. She begs her to keep the secret to herself but Helena in her naivety decides to tell Demetrius about their plans so that he could somehow fall in love with her because of what she revealed to him.

CHARACTERIZATION

1. Hermia: Daughter of Egeus, she refuses to get married to Demetrius because she is in love with Lysander. She fiercely believe in her love that she's ready to run away, leaving everything behind for love.

Jim had a party to celebrate the winning season

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Jim: Subject.
had: verb
a: article
party: noun
To celebrate: verb
the: article
Winning season: noun.

Explanation:

The subject of the sentence is a term about which the main subject of the sentence is said. To find this term, just search for the person or object to which the verb (s) of the sentence is referring. Jim threw a party and wanted to celebrate, so Jim is the subject of the sentence.

The verb are the terms that represent an action, a state or a phenomenon of nature. In the sentence shown above, the word "had" represents a state and refers to the verb "to have", while the term "to celebrate" represents an action. Therefore, these two terms are the verbs of the sentence.

The article is the term that is positioned before the nouns, with the objective of classifying them in terms of number, genre or degree. The nouns in the sentence above can be represented by the terms "party" and "winning season", so the articles are "a" and "the".

Nouns are the terms that give names to beings, objects and any element in general. In the sentence above, they are represented by "winning season" and "party".
