Which sentence contains an inappropriate shift in person?

English
2 answers:
DIA [1.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

Some actors work as a waiter until their big break.

Explanation:

The sentence that contains an inappropriate shift in person is the last one. Instead of <em>a waiter,</em> we should say <em>waiters </em>(<em>Some actors work as waiters</em>...). <em>Actors </em>is a plural noun and it should be followed by a plural noun. Another thing that confirms this is the use of the plural possessive pronoun <em>their</em>.

The rest of the sentences are correct. In the first sentence, there is no dilemma. In the second sentence, we have the phrase <em>many people</em>, which requires a plural verb and plural possessive pronoun. These conditions are fulfilled. The third sentence is a bit tricky because of the correlative conjunction <em>neither... nor.</em> The verb and possessive pronoun should be in the singular form in this case (as <em>Dave</em> is a singular noun), and they are, which makes this sentence correct.

This is why the fourth option is the correct answer.

Why do you suppose many adults pine for the "good old days," either an earlier era in history or their own youthful high school/
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<em>It is generally a harmless thing.</em>

Explanation:

Is this generally a harmless or harmful thing? Why?

It is generally a harmless thing because adults do reminiscent of the past to evaluate how nice it was then, when the going was good. They reverberate on the yester years when life was still in its natural form. They use to say this taken the current wave of aberration into consideration. They believed that things had really gone wired and wish to reflect on the past when life was the way the Almighty Beingness made it.
