Which error in the sentence should be corrected when editing?

1 answer:

6 0

The correct answer is A. It is difficult to understand the part of "seven years' transportation to America". It seems to me that you should use a passive structure so as to place the kind of sentences that English courts were allowed to give first, and after mention that the first Penal Transportation Act was the one which introduced this change. The other answers do not apply to this sentence, there are no puntuation and spelling mistakes, and there are no unnecessary words.

Why is Lennie so reluctant to talk to Curley's wife?

lora16 [44]

Lennie is so reluctant to talk to Curley's wife because he is aware of her potential for trouble, and George has advised him to avoid her.

Lennie gets upset with Curley's wife because he believes George will hear her yelling and come to check on him. Lennie ends up breaking Curley's wife's neck as a result.
Lennie replies that he thinks Curley's wife is "purty," prompting George to warn Lennie to stay away from her, just as he's supposed to stay away from Curley, after he calls Curley's wife a "tramp."
George warns Lennie that the water might not be good when he saunters up to the edge of the pool and starts to drink like a ravenous animal. Lennie has a mental illness, making it necessary for him to be given this advice because he is unaware of any potential risks. George cautions Lennie not to say anything when they arrive as the two are traveling to a ranch where they can find temporary employment. Lennie has a very short memory, so George has to make him repeat even the most basic instructions.
