Answer:
Answer is in the explanation.
Explanation:
In grammatically correct sentences, subject and verb must agree in person (first, second, third) and in number (singular, plural). The given passage has three disagreements:
1) ...<em>the fate of the diamond were unknown</em>...
Since <em>the fate</em> is third-person singular it needs to be followed by a verb <em>was
</em>
2) <em>neither men or conflict have dimmed...
</em>
It is a general rule that when we have a neither/nor (either/or) construction, the verb agrees with the closest subject ( in this case<em> the conflict</em>) which is in the third person singular, so it needs to be followed by the verb<em> has</em>
3) ... <em>the twin eighty-year-old brothers suggests.</em>..
The subject here is<em> the twin brothers</em> (they) which is third person plural, so the following verb must be <em>suggest</em>
Subordinate clause

The correct answer is B indeed. It is an example of plain folks because the speaker appeals to the citizens of his town, and to the knowledge that he shares with the other members of the community. This strategy is quite basic, as shown by this example, because the author makes a claim that most people would agree with, without actually providing evidence or a series of logical arguments.
The lines in the excerpt from The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne that are examples of metaphor are:
<span>"A good man's prayers are golden recompense!" rejoined old Roger Chillingworth, as he took his leave. "Yea, they are the current gold coin of the New Jerusalem, with the King's own mint mark on them!"</span>
