Answer:

The best way to revise the sentence is the one expressed in letter D. a concern of the townspeople.

Explanation:

First, let's ask this question to the sentence: <u>What was the concern of the townspeople? That there would be an excess of traffic noise. This information is given immediately before we learn that the townspeople were concerned about it. Thus, we can transform the last clause, "this was a concern of the townspeople," into an appositive. By doing so, we connect the last clause to the rest of the sentence in a simpler yet effective manner. It's as if we are simply adding an extra information to what we already know</u>:

By routing the new highway around the town instead of through the middle of it, the governor prevented an excess of traffic noise, a concern of the townspeople.

Suppose you are determining the growth rate of two species of plants. Species A is 12 cm tall and grows 2 cm per month. Species
Andrews [41]
This is how to solve the problem:

We know that the growth rate is constant for both species of plants. So we can say that the height is a linear function of the number of days since d = 0. 

Assumption (1 month = 30 days)

Species A: 
Growth rate = 2 cm/month = 2/30 = 1/15 cm/day 
Height on day d = 0: 12 cm 
Height: H(d) = 12 + d/15 

Species B: 
Growth rate = 3 cm/month = 3/30 = 1/10 cm/day 
Height on day d = 0: 10 cm 
Height: H(d) = 10 + d/10

Read the excerpt from part one of Trifles. COUNTY ATTORNEY. How did she seem to feel about you coming? HALE. Why, I don’t think
mario62 [17]

Answer:

It suggests that she did not care about his death.

Explanation:

Mrs. Wright, a character in the play <em>Trifles, </em>kills her husband because of her loneliness. The police and her neighbors come to her house to investigate. Mrs. Hale, when asked about how Mrs. Wright behaved, says that she laughed after killing her husband.

It would seem based on this that Mrs. Wright didn't feel anything bad about her husband's death. She experienced severe loneliness and depression in her small-town, rural life, that she didn't see another escape other than murdering her own husband. Even though the husband did not treat her badly, per se, she still felt the need to get rid of him and regain her freedom.

Fed [463]

Do you think that Shakespeare’s plays still have value today, despite being hundreds of years old?

Answer: Shakespeare's plays still have great value.

Explanation:

Shakespeare's contemporary Ben Johnson wrote that <em>'He [ Shakespeare ] was not of an age, but for all time.'  </em>Shakespeare died four centuries ago, and his plays remain popular even to this day. In his plays, Shakespeare includes complex characters that display certain personality traits also recognized in today's society.

Do you think that Shakespeare's messages about the themes listed could ever become dated?

Answer: Themes that Shakespeare explored in his plays are unlikely to ever become dated.

Explanation:

In his plays, Shakespeare explores a variety of topics such as death, love, betrayal, friendship, etc. These are some universal topics that will always occupy human mind. Moreover, his characters have complex personalities - conflicts between them resemble real life, and each one of us certainly sympathizes with at least one Shakespeare's character. Shakespeare left us a huge legacy which is unlikely to ever become dated or be equaled.

complete the sentence with an appropriate intensive pronoun " the parrot opened its cage door and flew away
Nikitich [7]

The correct answer is The parrot opened its cage door itself and flew away

Explanation:

In grammar, the function of an intensive pronoun is to emphasize or refer back to a noun previously mentioned. Moreover, all intensive pronouns end in -self or -selves, which includes words such as herself, himself, themselves, among others.

In the case of the sentence "The parrot opened its cage door and flew away" this can be completed by adding the intensive pronoun "itself" that would emphasize the action of "the parrot". Also, this should be placed after the action "opened its cage" because this is the action that should be emphasized as it is unusual the parrot opened the cage without help. According to this, the sentence should be completed as "The parrot opened its cage door itself and flew away."

What do you think Miranda means when she says "the universe was not kind to Auggie Pullman"? Please write one complete sentence,
inna [77]

Answer:

She meant that Auggie has a big problem that he will have to deal with all his life.

Explanation:

As you may already know Auggie Pullman has a physical disability that limits many things in his body, in addition to making him look deformed, which causes many cases of prejudice that make Auggie very sad.

Since it is not possible for Auggie to get rid of this problem he will have to live with it his whole life and Miranda believes that this problem is an unjust and evil picture of the universe dealing with Auggie.
