Answer:

1. My brothers' favorite activity is wrestling each other on the ground= P.

2.Where'd you put the salt an pepper shakers= C.

3.Wouldn"t you like to know what you're getting for your birthday= C.

4.The bus's passengers were getting tired of sitting in traffic= P.

5.Why'd you purposely forget to give your brother his birthday present.= C.

Explanation:

The use of the apostrophe sign (') to show possession is to show the possessive form of a noun or pronoun. On the other hand, the same sign can be used to contract or shorten a certain word.

In the given sentences, sentence 1 and 4 uses the apostrophe sign to show possession while sentences 2, 3, and 5 used it as a contraction.

Sentences 1 and 4 used the apostrophe in the words "brothers'" and "bus's" to show the possessive nature of the 'favorite activity of the brothers' and 'the passengers of the bus'.

In sentences 2, 3, and 5, the contractions are used in the words "where'd (where did), wouldn't (would not), and why'd (why did)" to shorten the question words.

What events or conflict happen in the Life of Pi to emphasize the theme?
german

Answer:

The major conflict is related to Pi's fight for survival after he is stranded at sea when the ship that he and his family are travelling to Canada on sinks. To resolve this conflict, he has to face both internal and external challenges. The biggest conflict Pi faces are against the natural environment. Pi also faces terrifying weather conditions that make life at sea unpredictable. Pi describes a storm that ''came on slowly one afternoon. The clouds looked as if they were stumbling along before the wind, frightened. The sea took its cue. It started rising and falling in a manner that made my heart sink.'' The storm destroys the raft and many of the supplies on the lifeboat. He also faces many other challenges, such as being forced to battle the elements, animals, and a carnivorous island while stranded at sea. This links directly to the theme, which is about struggling to survive through difficult odds. The shipwrecked inhabitants of the little lifeboat don’t simply give up: they actively fight against it. Pi abandons his lifelong vegetarianism and eats fish to sustain himself. Orange Juice, the peaceful orangutan, fights ferociously against the hyena. Even the severely wounded zebra battles to stay alive; his slow, painful struggle clearly shows the sheer strength of his life force. As Martel makes clear in his novel, living creatures will often do unexpected, and sometimes heroic things to survive. However, they will also do barbaric things if pressed. The hyena’s treachery and the blind Frenchman’s turn toward cannibalism show just how far creatures will go when faced with the possibility of extinction.

Hope this helped!

Look at the sentences again. Match the rules with the sentences.
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

I believe the answers are:

I've applied to three universities----> It deserves how many times it happened

I've seen this film before----> It happened at an unspecified time in the past

Explanation:

The word 'three' is explaining to us that she/he had applied many times.

'Seen before' tells us that it happened in the past but it does not give us a specific time, day or date in the sentence.
