Answer:
b. Believes.
Explanation:
Subject-verb agreement refers to the use of the same number for the subject and the verb used. In other words, the subject-verb agreement means the subject and the verb are the same in number, meaning a singular subject will have a singular verb, a plural subject will have a plural verb, etc.
In the given sentence, the subject is "neither of my little brothers". This means it is a singular subject, referring to none of the brothers. Thus, according to the subject-verb agreement, the verb will be in the singular too.
Therefore, the correct sentence will be
Neither of my little brothers <u><em>believes</em></u> in Santa Claus.
Answer:
A castle, then the ball.
Explanation:
The short story "The Butterfly Princess" by Amalie Brown tells the fairy tale of how a princess was turned into a butterfly due to the spell by a naughty fairy. This resulted in the princess becoming a butterfly during the day and a girl at night.
Nothing could break the spell unless the princess found a prince who will be her true love. And by the end of the story, the princess had met her prince at the Royal Ball, but not before she was captured as a butterfly by a little boy. She transformed into her real self at night, breaking through the glass jar in which she was kept captive, rushed to the Royal Ball and met her prince. Thus, the setting of the story starts from the castle of the king and queen and ended with the Royal Ball.
Answer:
"Most bewildering," "small white bulb"
Explanation:
I found the answer by using answer elimination. For "most bewildering," we can see that Muir is questioning the flower and looking at it carefully. This is a step of the scientific method, asking questions and making observations.
As for "bed of yellow mosses," I found this to be written in a more poetic way. This is a metaphor, saying the moss is a 'bed of moss.' There is definitely nothing scientific about that observation.
"Small white bulb" is descriptive. There is nothing fancy or exciting about that phrase, it is simply describing it the way it is, much as a scientist would. It sounds to me like a passage from a book on botany.
When I read "utmost simple purity," I found this as a somewhat religious observation. If not, it would surely be a poetic attempt, to romanticize the flower.
"Cried for joy" would not be a scientific observation. Never have I heard a researcher state that they cried for joy upon realizing that the effects of too much caffeine cause hallucinations. This would be a distraction from the study and has no place except in a seperate interview.
Hope this helps!
A comedy is suppose to be funny, full of jokes, and made to entertain people/audience, while a tragedy is basically something wrong that happened, like a death in the family, read these two examples I made carefully: Hey guys, when we go to the movie theaters, lets watch a comedy movie, I hear its hilarious. While this one is: Oh no I'm so sorry for your loss, it was a terrible tragedy that your son died in a car accident.
