What is the meaning of the expression on a shoestring?

English
1 answer:
hichkok12 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

on a shoestring. With very limited financial means, as in The newlyweds were living on a shoestring. The precise allusion in this term is unclear. One fanciful theory is that debtors in British prisons would lower a shoe by its laces from a window so as to collect funds from visitors or passers-by.

Which sentence has the correct subject-verb agreement?
Gnesinka [82]

The correct answer is the first option.

The sentence that presents the correct subject-verb agreement is the first one since in it we are talking about "heavy rains" OR "fast-melting snow". In other words, the subject is coordinated by the conjunction "OR" which makes the subject singular. The verb "causes" is conjugated in the third person singular.

Read the stanza from "Invictus:"
Sindrei [870]
*You control your own destiny.*


Two lines of the poem directly support this claim. They are...

"I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul."

Meaning that the ultimate determining factor is you. Everyone is granted a choice, fate and destiny do not control you, because everyone has free-will.
