The correct answer is A. use a singular verb.
If a noun is singular, but also collective, it means that it has the form of a singular noun, but refers to more than one entity. However, based on the context, it will either take a singular, or a plural verb.
For example: <em>The team is quite good</em> (where the team is a collective noun referring to all members together) VS. <em>The team are not behaving properly</em> (where this refers to all members individually).
I’d say:
I had a hard time deciding whether to write an essay about the works of “Eudora Welty, Joan Didion, Gwendolyn Brooks” because the rest of the punctuations doesn’t make sense.
But actually it should be:
I had a hard time deciding whether to write an essay about the works of Eudora Welty, Joan Didion, and Gwendolyn Brooks.
(Without the quotation marks and inclusion the word “and” before “Gwendolyn”)
The answer is B because a metaphor is a comparison that dosent use like or as which is the opposite of simile. Simile is a comparison of two things using like or as.
Im not sure how to wxplain it very well but who do you like the most who do you admire the most from your family.
For example: i admire my mother becouse she is strong, has confidence, is kind, helpful,and also is a great influence!
