The correct answer is C) Words can have many different meanings, and the information age has created many new meanings for words.

With the raise of new technology and new forms of communication, technological terms were invented, giving some existing words a double meaning. This can be confusing for someone that didn't grow up with the internet, and someone from the Internet Age would be confused if you told them that monitor is also a type of lizard.

uranmaximum [27]

Question:

What is the antecedent of the pronoun those?

Sentence: Those are books that need to be returned to the library

Answer:

<u><em>Books</em></u>

Pronouns are used to replace nouns with more general terms that don't describe a specific person or place. The antecedent of a pronoun is the word that the pronoun replaces.

In the case of this sentence, the pronoun <em>those </em>replaces the word <em>books</em>, therefore the antecedent of the pronoun <em>those </em>is <em>books</em>.

Why are the facts always near the beginning of a news article or report​
arlik [135]

Answer:

This opening line is meant to attract the reader to the article's content. The lead also establishes the subject, sets the tone, and guides readers into the article. In a news story, the introductory paragraph includes the most important facts, and it also answers the key questions: who, what, where, when, why and how.

Which statements about themes are true? Check all that apply. A theme is one topic in a text. A theme is a message the text conv
Andreas93 [3]

Hi! If I were you, I would refer to notes given to you by your teacher, as I am not entirely sure what level this is or what your teacher is looking for, or how your teacher may define a theme.

Personally, I would choose:

A theme is a message the text conveys.

A theme is supported by details in the text.

A theme is seen over the course of a text.

Again, be sure to double-check with your notes and/or teacher to see how they define it, but in my opinion, I would choose those three!

Hope this helps!
