Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the type of error in the sentence above is a case mistake.

Explanation:

In English, the noun following a preposition is defined as the object of the preposition. Nouns do not change its form whether they function as subjects or objects but pronouns do. There are nominative (I, he, she, they, we) and objective pronouns (me, him, her, them, us). Those which function as objects take the objective case. In this case, the pronoun following the PP of takes the objective case, so it should be us, not we.

Answer:

D. A Vietnamese man who fled Hanoi and joined the Army in the south.

Explanation:

In the poem "Thoughts of Hanoi" by Nguyen Thi Vinh writes about the condition of her home country Vietnam and the past lives that has been destroyed with the war. The poem also acts as a foreseeing of what the future holds for the people.

In the lines given in the question, the speaker seems to be someone who used to be from the north but has now been drafted in the army, fighting for the South. From line 15, the poem talks of the numerous places in the north, which suggests that he had been previously a resident of the north too, considering his knowledge of the place. He seems to reminiscence about the time before the war but all that is gone now. His admission of "I am afraid that one day I'll be with the March-North Army meeting you on your way to the South. I might be the one to shoot you then or you me but please not with hatred" shows that he is fighting not because he hated the North but because he has to. He considers his enemy as a "brother", for they are both from the north irrespective of who he's fighting for now.

Explanation:

Note, an opinion essay is one where you clearly state your opinion about the subject matter been discussed. It involves providing in writing substantial facts about why you hold such views.

It has been observed that students who live on campus are more likely to perform better than those who did not.

There are several reasons why this is believed to be so, let us consider some of them.

proximity advantage to school facilities: Because of the nearness to the school facility, it is less stressful for students to arrive on campus for lectures. They may tend to have higher class attendance numbers than others coming off-campus.
social and academic interactions in their dormitories: students have easy access to other students who can assist them with their academic challenges, and as well a feeling of belonging.
safety: usually there may be more sense of security staying on campus than going off-campus.
