Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

1. On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

2. Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.
A student attempting to identify the main idea of paragraph two wrote the following sentence:

When researchers at the University of Missouri began examining trees in surrounding areas, fire damage in a Canadian forest revealed that huge wildfires in the mountains near Ontario darkened the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

Which sentence best describes the student's sentence?

a. The student's sentence does not include enough information from the paragraph.
b. The student's sentence leaves out too many important details from the paragraph.
c. The student's sentence perfectly and properly captures the main idea of the paragraph.
d. The student's sentence shows the main idea but does not paraphrase the author's words.

He came to my house _ my absence​
Rasek [7]

Answer:

He came to my house <u>in</u> my absence.

Explanation:

The word that is missing in the given sentence is the preposition <em>in</em>. Prepositions are words used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a sentence and express the relationship between them.

The phrase <em>in the absence of (someone or something) / in (someone's or something's) absence</em> means <em>while someone/something is away</em>. The word <em>in </em>will always be used in this case.

Which statement from the excerpt best supports the theme that hereditary succession of kings infringes on individuals’ freedoms?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
I believe that the first quote is the answer because it says that their minds are poisoned early by importance, saying that hereditary rulers are raised to feel that they are more important and can do no bad.

Lena avoids... at night because it is dangerous.
alexandr402 [8]
The grammatically correct sentence would be C.
Lena avoids driving at night because it is dangerous. 
The rest are grammatically incorrect as follows. :)
Drive, is used more for future tense  in general.
To drive, is an infinitive which when defining that we can determine is not needed in the sentence.
Drove, is past tense and our sentence is present tense.
Cutting, is not only present tense, the correct tense, an action 'ing' word but it is also a gerund which completes the sentence accurately.

Hope this helped! If you need anymore help, have any other questions or need further explanation just let me know!! :)
