Read the excerpt from "The I Devil and Tom Walker": "You shall lend money at two per cent a month." "Egad, I'll charge four!" re

plied Tom Walker.
"You shall extort bonds, foreclose mortgages, drive the merchants to bankruptcy-" "I'll drive them to the devil," cried Tom Walker. "You are the
usurer for my money!" said black-legs with delight. "When will you want the rhino?" "This very night." "Done!" said the devil. "Done!" said Tom Walker.
So they shook hands and struck a bargain. A few days' time saw Tom Walker seated behind his desk in a counting house in Boston. His reputation for
a ready-moneyed man, who would lend money out for a good consideration, soon spread abroad. What seems to be Tom's prime motivation in
agreeing to the Devil's terms?
Fear

Greed

Fill in the blanks with an appropriate form of a verb for the paragraph below: Astronauts on the International Space Station ___
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Astronauts on the International Space Station <u><em>have </em></u>a busy schedule. Every day they <u><em>wake up</em></u> at 7:00 GMT. From 7:00 to 8:00, they wash up and <u><em>eat </em></u>breakfast.  At 8:00 in the morning, they <u><em>call </em></u>Ground Control in their countries. After they talk to Ground Control, their workday begins.  The astronauts <u><em>don't do</em></u> the same thing every day. Their schedules change every week. The astronauts do not work all the time.  Each day they <u><em>exercise </em></u>for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. After dinner, they <em>have </em>free time.  Then, it <u><em>is </em></u>time to go to sleep. Sometimes this <u><em>isn't </em></u>easy because the sun rises and sets 16 times each day on the space station!

Explanation:

All the verbs in the text are written in the Present Simple tense, since the paragraph refers to actions that are either facts or happen regularly at the International Space Station. Thus, the astronauts at the station have a program of daily routine actitivies.

Which sentence has a pronoun with an unclear, missing, or confusing antecedent?
Ghella [55]
I believe it would be B, because there are two subjects that the speaker is referring to at the beginning of the sentence; the caterpillar and the leaf. When they use the word "it" in the second half of the sentence it is unclear whether they mean to say if "it" is the leaf or the caterpillar which they are carrying to their brother.
