She is long and sharp and trim and pretty; she has two tall, fancy-topped chimneys, with a gilded device of some kind swung between them; a fanciful pilot-house, all glass and "gingerbread," perched on top of the "texas" deck behind them.

Determine the class of the italicized pronoun.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Demonstrative

Explanation:

<em>Those </em>is a word for a demonstrative pronoun.

Demonstrative pronouns are those that are identifying and pointing out something. They can point out a person, a place, a moment, and can be singular or plural.

However,<u> in this specific sentence, there is no pronoun, but those is used as a demonstrative adjective. </u>

The words for demonstrative adjectives and pronouns are the same (<em>this, these, that, those</em>), but the difference is that the pronouns stand-alone, <u>adjectives stand with the noun and modify it.</u> The only difference is in the structure of the sentence.

<em>Those </em>stands with the word <em>scouts </em>and modifies it,  showing us which scouts do we talk about. <u>That is how we know it is the case of the adjective and not the pronoun. </u>

Which civilization in asia has the greatest contribution to humanity?​
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

So, given this, the comments of U.S. Republican Representative Steve King of Iowa regarding the civilizations of the world are a cause of great trepidation and sorrow. Referring to non-white people, King asked: “I’d ask you to go back through history and figure out, where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you’re talking about — where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?” He added his view that the greatest contributions to civilization came from “Western civilization itself…rooted in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the Unites States of America and every place where the footprint of Christianity settled the world. That’s all of Western civilization.”

Explanation:

What’s discouraging about King’s statements are that they resemble an increasingly common viewpoint in the discourse among the right and nationalists in the Western world and among the rank and file of the Republican Party in the United States. It is a discourse that does not match up with the facts about the historical development of civilizations. According to Modern Western civilization, after all, is a relatively recent phenomenon that arose through the fusion of Roman and Christian ideas in Europe during the Medieval Era. Other civilizations preceded, influenced, and coexisted with the West.

Phew. This took a while! Hope it helps!
