Answer:

  • The question is not complete because it doesn't include options.

There are two approaches to language; descriptive and prescriptive grammar.

Prescriptive grammar explains or prescribes how the language should be used. For example “Don’t split infinitives" is a prescriptive rule.  

Descriptive grammar shows or describes how a language is used by people, not saying how it should be used.  

According to prescriptive grammar, a sentence is grammatical only if the native speaker uses it in his or her speaking. However, descriptive grammar explains how a sentence is produced through mental processes.

An astronaut is doing repairs when he accidentally drops a tool. It floats away from him at a rate of 2.0 meters every 1.0 secon
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: Graph Y

Explanation:

The tool is floating at a rate of 2.0 meters every 1.0 seconds so both the distance and time are changing. Neither is constant which rules out graphs X and Z.

The distance is increasing as time increases which rules out Graph W which depicts a scenario where the tool is coming closer to the astronaut as time increases.

Correct option is therefore Graph Y as it shows the tool moving at a rate of 2.0 meters per second.
