What subject/verb agreement rule makes the following sentence correct? “I was amazed at his equanimity in the face of danger.”

English
1 answer:
Tpy6a [65]3 years ago

Answer:

The rule which states that if a verb is in past tense, then its subject should be in past tense too and if it's in present tense, the subject should also be in present tense.

“I was amazed at his equanimity in the face of danger.”

The verb "was" is in past tense so is the subject "amazed".

Explanation:

A simple subject-verb agreement definition says that the subject of the sentence and the verb of the sentence must be in agreement in number/tense.

If the sentence is written like this

“I am amaze at his equanimity in the face of danger.”

If the verb "was" is replaced by "am" and the subject "amazed" is replaced by "amaze", the sentence would become incorrect as it disregards the subject verb agreement.

PLEASE HELP In at least 150 words, explain whether or not Jim was a stereotype of enslaved people who were denied education in t
soldi70 [24.7K]

The assignment wants to know your interpretation of the character Jim. For this reason, I cannot write your essay, but I will show you how to write it.

<h3>Essay structure</h3>
  • Introduction: Introduce who Jim is and how important he is to "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Write a small paragraph.

  • Thesis Statement: State whether or not you think Jim was a stereotype of enslaved people in the 19th century. Write this in a single sentence that should be at the end of the introduction.

  • Body: Write two long paragraphs. In the first paragraph, show how the book justifies your thesis statement and show information about Jim that confirms what you are claiming about him. In the second paragraph, show an opinion that contradicts your thesis statement and shows how this opinion is incorrect according to the book.

  • Conclusion: Summarize the most important information from the essay and reinforce how the figure of Jim is represented in the book independent of the presented stereotypes.

To help you write this essay you can search for articles that analyze "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and its characters. This way you'll get a bigger picture of what Jim stands for, as well as get evidence for your thesis statement.

Below is an example of how your introduction might be written.

<em>Jim is one of the most important characters in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," as his presence represents a friendship and father figure for Huck who badly needs it. At this point it is possible to say that Jim is not presented in a stereotyped way, but as a sensitive man with vast knowledge.</em>
