Incomplete question. The options read;

a. People should not criticize others if they have similar problems.

b. Sometimes, it is difficult for a person to make a decision.

c. Words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can.

d. A person who keeps moving has no responsibilities and no cares.

Answer:

c. Words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can.

Explanation:

First, we may wonder: <em>what is an idiom? </em>Put simply, it refers to the use of words or sentences whose actual meaning is implied in most cases.

So the expression, <em> "Sticks and stones don't break bones," </em>has an implied meaning relating to the fact our <u>words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can.</u>

Developing kindness is important for social competence, relationships, and connection. Select one:
alexandr402 [8]
A)True.
In order to maintain relationships (both social and business relationships) a level of mutual kindness to each other is vital. Without kindness, a connection is impossible to be made. Additionally, if everyone was unkind, the world would be a much colder place than it is currently. Without kindness, compassion doesn't exist, which may result in social incompetence and increased wars and fighting.

The lantern glows. Moths and bugs fly nearby.

2. The simple predicate is the verb or verb phrase that expresses the essential thought

about the subject of the sentence. A compound predicate is made up of two or more

verbs or verb phrases that are joined by a conjunction and have the same subject.

Rachel jogged down the hill.

Pete stretched and exercised for an hour.

Golden curly hair framed the child’s face.

it or complete its meaning.

or part of the predicate precedes the subject.
