Read the excerpt from "American Indian Civil Rights.” Over the years, American Indian activists have valiantly fought for reform

and for the government to honor certain treaty obligations. Sarah Winnemucca, a member of the Northern Paiutes tribe, campaigned for better living conditions for her tribe in the late 1800s. She lectured around the country in an effort to increase support for her cause. Physician and lecturer Charles Eastman, who was part of the Sioux tribe, also strove to improve the circumstances of American Indians in the early 1900s through public speaking and serving in organizations such as the Society of American Indians. What is the best reason to conclude that the author wants the reader to admire American Indians? The author uses words, such as “valiantly,” that have strong emotional connotations of courage and respect. The author repeats the word “tribe,” which places American Indian communities in a positive light. The author uses the metaphor “physician and lecturer,” which emphasizes a feeling of authority. The author makes an allusion to “the early 1900s,” which creates a sense of the significance of American Indians.

Read this sentence and answer the question.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the B) Players often return to a game after a head injury—they.

Explanation: By using a dash or specifically an "em-dash" ( — ) at the end of the sentence, the writer is clarifying or amplifying the information that he or she has already provided (that players often return to a game after a head injury). Options C and D are grammatically incorrect, so they should be discarded. Furthermore, since the two sentences ("players..." and "they do not want...") are not independent, the use of a semicolon (option A) should also be discarded.

Use the drop-down menus to indicate whether each sentence is in the subjunctive mood. I would go for a walk, if it were not rain
Vika [28.1K]
Subjunctive mood is used to express wishes and possibilities, whereas on the other hand, indicative mood is used for facts. So let's go through all of these sentences:
1. I would go for a walk if it weren't raining - this is subjunctive. The form <em>weren't </em>used as a possibility is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>he could go for a walk, but cannot because it is raining

2. I wish you continued at your job - this is also subjunctive. The form <em>continued is </em>is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>something happened, but it didn't.

3. Brett wants Molly and Trent to study with him. - this is indicative. It is a fact that this person wants, so this is not subjunctive.

4. Coach recommends that we run two laps around the track. - this is subjunctive. The coach <em>wishes </em>something would happen - he is going to make his students to what he wishes them to do. 

With verbs such as recommend, wish, suggest, demand, etc., subjunctive mood is used.

We're talking here about Hector Camacho, who was born in 1962 and died not too many years ago (2012).  His alias or nickname was "Macho Camacho," and he lived up to the "macho" hype with his flamboyant style and his success in the boxing ring.  His professional record was 79 wins (38 of those by knockout), 6 losses, and three draws.
