Answer:
implying that he is under a lot of pressure from his father
Explanation:
The statement made by Norman seems to be implying that he is under a lot of pressure from his father to be a winner and bring home some medals to prove it, but all that Norman wants is for his father to be proud of him without the need of some medals. It seems that he cannot or does not want to face his father and feels like a failure which is why he wants his father to write him a letter telling him its ok.
Sentence b does not use an adverb clause
I believe you have a typo when it comes to the first option - it should be athletics, not athletic. The word athletic is an adjective, and the word athletics is a noun.
That being said, the correct answer is A. athletics. Even though this noun ends in -s, it is still singular. The rest of the options are all plural nouns.
Answer:
Jason and Sara are friends. They work at the same computer company 2. Jason loves his job. 3. Sara feels stressed at work. 4. They share an office. 5. They work hard. 6. Jason eats three healthy meals every day. 7. He drinks a lot of water. 8. Sara skips breakfast. 9. She orders take-out food from nearby restaurants. 10. Jason and Sara both like sports.
Explanation:
We are supposed to choose between two forms of verbs in the present tense to complete the sentences above. One form is used for the persons "I, you, we, they". The other form - the one ending in -s - is for the third person singular (he, she, it). Therefore, we need to pay attention to the subject of each sentence. Let's choose two of them as an example:
3. Sara (feel/feels) stressed at work. --> The subject here is Sarah, or "she". The correct form of the verb is "feels".
10. Jason and Sara both (like/likes) sports. --> Here, both Jason and Sarah are the subject, which makes it plural (they). The best option then is "like".
