Technically, there are 2 correct answers to this question. A and D both have possessive pronouns underlined. Our books is showing that the books belong to us, and her birthday is a birthday belonging to her.
A suffix meaning full of would be -ful.
E.g. Hateful, graceful, pitiful, etc.
Answer:
E). Besides possibly preventing or inhibiting.
Explanation:
As per the question, <u>option E most appropriately revises the underlined phrase as it is both syntactically and semantically appropriate</u>. The other options are either grammatically inappropriate(parallelism error in options A, B, and C(because 'it is singular while 'forms' is plural' that creates a discrepancy) or lexical error(option D conveys an inadequate meaning due to wrong use of 'and' between the two participles). Therefore, <u>option E</u> only conveys the clear, concise, and grammatically appropriate meaning because it appropriately states that 'the health benefits of tea have become a subject to research; besides possible preventing or inhibiting some forms of cancer,....stroke.'

I believe the answer is: “It is better that a few should perish than that the whole city should be destroyed,”
Pay attention to this line:
"<em>what have we done that you should wish thus to destroy us from the earth?"</em>
At this point, we can infer that the King hasn't fully made up his mind on whether he should destroy them or not.
When the elders reply with this line:
<em>“It is better that a few should perish than that the whole city should be destroyed,” </em>
The elders basically advance the plot by convincing the king that the act of destroying some of His people is correct.
