I would say its D not really sure............................
Answer:
'Were there competitions the school had attended before' is a correct sentence.
Explanation:
Here in both the sentences, the main idea is to know whether the school has attended any competitions before. ‘Before’ clearly means it is talking about the past, which has already happened.
Now in the former sentence it is questioned by saying "are". Are signifies something which is currently happening, that is, present tense. So definitely that is not a correct statement. Therefore the latter sentence – ‘Were there competitions the school had attended before?’ is a correct grammatical statement.
Unclear question, however I inferred you are referring to the poem "Hanging Fire".
Answer:
Gives the reader opportunity to absorb reached each thought.
Explanation:
In the poem it gives the reader an brief moment to absorb or reflect on thought expressed in each stanza.
Since there are no commas or other punctuation elsewhere, the reader would have to, or is expected to read through at a fast pace until the end of each stanza where he/she then reflects.
