Read this passage from “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.” What can we assume about Simon Wheeler, based on the de

scription by the narrator? He (Simon Wheeler) never smiled, he never frowned, he never changed his voice from the gentle-flowing key to which he tuned the initial sentence, he never betrayed the slightest suspicion of enthusiasm; but all through the interminable narrative there ran a vein of impressive earnestness and sincerity, which showed me plainly that, so far from his imagining that there was anything ridiculous or funny about his story, he regarded it as a really important matter, and admired its two heroes as men of transcendent genius in finesse.

Simon is sincere and believes the stories that he tells. This is the answer because of the word play shown such as " impressive earnestness and sincerity" "he regarded it as a really important matter" this is the only[ answer that makes sense to me.

What change, if any, should the author make to sentence 8 to correct the problem of subject-verb agreement? A. NO CHANGE B. "Nei
fredd [130]

D. "Neither my friends nor my family cares about me," said Finlay.

In this sentence there are two subjects, "friends" and "family". Since the conjunction "neither...nor" is used, the subject-verb agreement gets a little tricky. If both subjects were singular, as in he or she, the verb must agree with a singular subject. This is because it is either one or the other not both. In this sentence, one subject is plural, friends, and one subject is singular, family. Family is considered a collective noun, so even though there are many people in the family, there is only one family. Since family is closest to the verb and it is singular, "to care" must be in the singular form. Option B and C are wrong because the verbs "were" and "are" are plural verbs.
