Answer:

The election determined whether or not Eckels remained rich in the future.

Explanation:

In the first instance where the election is mentioned, Eckels states very delightedly gives thanks God that Keith won the race for the seat of the President Of The United States. Eckels states that if Keith had lost, he would have been trying to get away from the consequences of the same.

In the next instance, Eckels back from a time travel trip realizes that Keith lost the election and puts the gun to this head and "click".

According to the story, he a very rich businessman had taken to time travel as a hobby, going off into the past to shoot game.

There were certain rules that guided this endeavor. One of them was that he must not kill that he wasn't allowed or permitted to kill. Anything considered as a major disturbance to the past would affect events in the future.

Eckels somehow kills a butterfly and that results in the shift in the results of the elections by the time he gets back to the present.

Cheers

What is fake news? please use a middle school example and please explain it in your own words!
Lynna [10]

Answer: “Fake news” is a term that has come to mean different things to different people. At its core, we are defining “fake news” as those news stories that are false: the story itself is fabricated, with no verifiable facts, sources or quotes. Sometimes these stories may be propaganda that is intentionally designed to mislead the reader, or may be designed as “clickbait” written for economic incentives (the writer profits on the number of people who click on the story). In recent years, fake news stories have proliferated via social media, in part because they are so easily and quickly shared online.

Someone a few rows ahead (was, were) coughing uncontrollably, so I missed the speaker's closing words.
Naddik [55]
For this question, we are trying to figure out which verb fits the structure of the sentence better. 
To do this, we must first find which word the verb is defining. The subject of a sentence (except in a few rare cases) is typically before the verb, and is always a noun. 
There are two nouns in the sentence (Someone and rows). Which one is the verb expressing?

Well, let's think about it. Are the rows coughing? Somehow, I doubt it, so we're left with Someone. Someone is a singular pronoun, so the appropriate defining verb would be 'was'.

"Someone a few rows ahead was coughing uncontrollably, so I missed the speaker's closing words."
Hope that helped =)

Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

The medium of a story litteraly means "how the story is delivered", is it a play, a screen write, a poem, an short story etc etc.

In this case it's saying that the creators "animated people from the past", ergo the medium would be animation.

The others are talking about tone and authors voice, how the story is delivered metaphorically essentially

hope this helps :)
