In lines 140-150, what hasn't changed is that the father still switches off the electricity generator at 10 p.m. and goes to sleep in his study. The expression "as was custom" marks that this has not changed.
The language that shows that the father is changing can be found in lines 141, 173 and 175-176:
In line 141 we learn that he does not use certain rooms ("rooms we'd stopped using").
In line 173 we read that the father "seemed lighter" and chatted with his son.
In lines 175-176 the father says that "now he might be able to come to the end-of-the-year recital" at his child's school.
Answer:
C. One of my ancestors fought at the battle of Gettysburg.
Explanation:
Capitalization or the use of capital letters in a sentence or word is used for nouns, especially proper nouns. Moreover, it is also used to start a sentence, with names, months, days, holidays, festivals, etc.
Among the given options, sentence C has an error in the use of capitalization. The "Battle of Gettysburg" is a historical battle fought between the Union and Confederate armies. And thus, the name of the battle is a proper noun. Thus, capital letter should be used when writing the name of the battle.
Thus, the correct way to write the given sentence should be <em>"One of my ancestors fought at the Battle of Gettysburg."</em>
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
I believe the answer is B. Nguyen explains how buses reduce traffic by lowering the number of cars on the road.
The passage says “Clearly, buses reduce traffic rather than cause it”. Answer B is the only answer that mentions traffic in a logical way.
