Answer:

by choosing to end the sentence in a preposition

Explanation:

Formal language can be seen with the use of "on which", changing the position of preposition "on" by moving it to the end of the sentence with the relative pronoun "which" omitted changes it to informal English.

"Mr. Richardson is shopping for the perfect shelf on which to display his bowling trophy."

would change to

"Mr. Richardson is shopping for the perfect shelf to display his bowling trophy on."

Round to the nearest cent $0.08333
Anestetic [448]
The cent is $0.01, so to round to the nearest cent, you have to round the nearest 0.0X place (the hundredth place).

The 0.0X place in this is 8, and the number after 8 is 3, so the 8 stays the same and does not go up to 9.

Therefore, $0.08333 rounded to the nearest cent is $0.08

Read this excerpt from "Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk." I remember distinctly the thrill of climbing aboard a U.S. Army helic
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option b:"The author once felt pride and optimism about the war".

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author says that "he was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit" and that "he was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and report it".

It just says that he was excited to get on a U.S Army helicopter, it does not say nor infer that is was his first flying experience, therefore, option a is incorrect.

It doesn't say and it cannot be inferred that the U.S soldiers are trained in hand to hand combat, so option c is also incorrect.

The author barely mentions the Vietcong guerillas, and he does not seem to have any respect for them since he was excited about war, so option d is also incorrect.
