English went through what steps to become the language we know as modern English?

There are basically two steps  that go in a cycle. Old words from the English language are taken, and they are changed in how they sound and what they mean, making a slang, sometimes slowly sometimes  quickly the  slang terms become excepted as words by society and eventually they become the words being changed. If you think about it the language changes based on what  we find to be the way the popular people talk. In the past it was the rich or the actors/esses in plays that started a change in culture, now it are the musicians and actors/esses. That is what I think about it, there are probably more ways of explaining it, if I even answered that the way you wanted.

Which agreement rule applies to a singular collective noun functioning as a unit? a. use a singular verb b. use a plural verb c.
Yuri [45]

The correct answer is A. use a singular verb.


If a noun is singular, but also collective, it means that it has the form of a singular noun, but refers to more than one entity. However, based on the context, it will either take a singular, or a plural verb.

For example: <em>The team is quite good</em> (where the team is a collective noun referring to all members together) VS. <em>The team are not behaving properly</em> (where this refers to all members individually).

liubo4ka [24]

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

In the article "Inquiring Reporter," by Claire Kifferstein from Girls High Record, the claim is the question about the Regents' examinations being valuable or not.  

 

Explanation:

A claim is a statement of opinion, which is supported by evidence in the form of claims and counterclaims. The main claim appears in the first paragraph of the article. The rest of the text provides evidence that supports the claim that Regents are valuable, under the subtitle "Pro", as well as evidence for the claim that they’re not, in the section "Cons."
