Answer: Laughed.
Explanation:
An adjective qualifies a noun.
1. The correct answer is A. Melissa said that she would never go on a cruise.
B is incorrect because the question mark has to be inside the quotation marks, not outside of it. C is incorrect because there has to be a comma after the word <em>replied, </em>and there is none. This leaves us with sentence A, which is the correct answer here - it is the correct reported speech.
2. The correct answer is B. Li promised to cut back but asked, “Can I have one soft drink at dinner?”
A is incorrect because you don't need quotation marks for this, or you would have to delete the word <em>to </em>and add a comma, leaving quotation marks in order for this sentence to be correct. C is incorrect because the word <em>sure </em>also has to be inside quotation marks. Therefore, the correct option is B.
The question is asking you to find 2/3 of 471, which can also be written as 2/3*471 (* = multiplication)
2/3*471 (multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other)
=942/3 (divide the numerator and denominator by 3)
=314/1 or 314 votes
Hope this helps :)
