Answer:

D) Most people figured that Columbus discovered America, made friends with the Indians, and then told everyone else about this land.

Explanation:

Revision of any text or passage is need for a number of reasons, ranging from a simple grammar mistake to making the paper more precise, focused, structured, etc. The revision also allows for improved analytical skills, challenging one's own ideas, more strengthened argument, etc.

Among the given sentences, the one that needs to be revised is sentence D. Looking at the words used in this particular sentence, it is evident that the words are too informal, be it using<em> "most people figured", "made friends", or "told everyone else"</em>. They make the sentence too simple, too friendly, something one does with a close friend or relative. If these words are revised with words like 'most people believed', 'formed close relationship/ befriended', or 'revealed to everyone', then that makes the sentence seem more formal.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

At the last moment Mollie, the foolish, PRETTY white mare who drew Mr. Jones's trap, came mincing daintily in, chewing at a lump
fredd [130]

Answer:

The word "Pretty' as used in this context is an adjective.

Explanation:

Recall that an adjective is a word that modifies or describes a noun in a sentence.

It is used to describe the attributes of a noun. An example of an adjective is

<em>John saw a beautiful lady yesterday.</em>

Here, the adjective here is beautiful and it modifies the noun 'lady'

An adverb, however, shows the degree or extent of something by modifying a verb, adjective, determiner in a sentence.

An example is

<em>The tortoise walked slowly</em>

Here, the adverb here is slowly as it shows how the tortoise walked.

Therefore, the word "pretty'' in the given sentence is an adjective as it describes the noun 'mare'.
