One day, a father went to his three sons and told them that he would die soon and he needed to decide which one of them to give

his property to. He decided to give them all a test. He said, "Go to the market my sons, and purchase something that is large enough to fill my bedroom, but small enough to fit in your pocket. From this I will decide which of you is the wisest and worthy enough to inherit my land." So they all went to the market and bought something that they thought would fill the room, yet was still small enough that they could fit into their pockets. Each son came back with a different item. The father told his sons to come into his bedroom one at a time and try to fill up his bedroom with whatever they had purchased. The first son came in and put some pieces of cloth that he had bought and laid them end to end across the room, but it barely covered any of the floor. Then the second son came in and laid some hay that he had purchased, on the floor but there was only enough to cover half of the floor. The third son came in and showed his father what he had purchased and how it could fill the entire room yet still fit into his pocket. The father replied, "You are truly the wisest of all and you shall receive my property."
What was it that the son had shown to his father?

Answer:

1. action

2. failure

3. permission

4. loss

5. thought/thinking

Explanation:

Nominalization or nouning is the transformation of verbs into nouns. Most times, such a transformation will require some alteration or other to be made, mostly through the use of suffixes, which changes the ending of the original word. However, there are nominalizations that require no change at all, the difference between verb and noun being revealed through context.

Some common suffixes for nominalization are -ation, -ance, and -ment.

Having that in mind, let's change the verbs given in the question into nouns:

1. to act - action

2. to fail - failure

3. to permit - permission

4. to lose - loss

5. to think - thought/thinking

Can someone tell me why water pollution is bad and what its doing to our environment
weeeeeb [17]
Organic matter and nutrients causes an increase in aerobic algae and depletes oxygen from the water column. This causes the suffocation of fish and other aquatic organisms. Sulfate particles from acid rain can cause harm the health of marine life in the rivers and lakes it contaminates, and can result in mortality.

In his opening paragraph, King says that he rarely pauses to answer criticisms, but he is replying to "A Call For Unity" because
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

d . he believes them to be sincere and good.

Explanation:

“A call for Unity” was written by eight white pastors who gave their opinions on Martin Luther King Jr. and his actions. They wrote that they essentially agreed with King’s causes, but not with the method of “extreme measurements”. They called King out as an “outsider” because he protested instead of taking the problem to the court.

<u>King recognized their well-meaning attitude and the ways they agree with the ideas.</u> This is why he said, at the end of the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" he will take time to reply to them. <u>He writes about how he feels their genuine goodwill and capability for understanding.</u> <u>Although he mentioned he does not have time for answering criticism usually, this recognition of the sincerity and good means made him change his principle.</u>
