The correct answer is: Present or past tense.
The different pronunciations of the word "read" serve to differentiate its verbal tense.
Even though the word is written as "read" in both the present and the past, it is pronounced differently.
If it refers to the present it is read as /riːd/ whereas if it refers to the past it is read as /red/
Answer:
They know an expert will provide the most accurate information.
Explanation:
They know an eyewitness will be free of personal bias. - This is not correct. Eyewitness reports of historical events will most likely be very much based on personal bias. Eyewitness reports will vary according to the cultural background of the person, where they were during events, their emotional state and stance towards the events, their background knowledge, their participation in the events, and many more.
They know a student who did research will be an accurate source. - This is not true. Historians can’t assume the student research will be the accurate source as students are only learning to do proper research and are expected to still make mistakes.
<u>They know an expert will provide the most accurate information. - This is the correct answer. When starting work, historians assume that experts who did research and examinations before them, and who put down information, are giving accurate accounts.</u> For example, if a historian’s work is based on the material artifact, he or she will assume that the archeologist before them made the best possible account into the explanation and background of the artifact.
They know an eyewitness report will always be truthful. - This is not true. As mentioned before, eyewitness reports are highly subjective, and therefore cannot be taken as true scientific findings.
Fragile - tenuous: Whatever they were in the mountains, they could be no more. However tenuous their well-being, however much they had suffered and would suffer again, they had found a way out of the wilderness.
Tenuous means fragile or delicate. After the people found their way out of the wilderness, they were most likely fragile from a lack of proper care and nutrition.
Lobby - beg and barter: In order to consummate the ancient sacrifice—to impale the head of a buffalo bull upon the medicine tree—a delegation of old men journeyed into Texas, there to beg and barter for an animal from the Goodnight herd.
The verb lobby means to persuade. In this passage the old men are trying to persuade someone for an animal.
Pensive - brooding: My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years, but she must have known from birth the affliction of defeat, the dark brooding of old warriors.
Pensive means to be deep in thought. Brooding also means to be deep in thought but usually over something that has a negative outcome. The person brooding usually wishes to change what has happened.
Antagonist - Enmities: Some of them painted their faces and carried the scars of old and cherished enmities.
Enmities is another word for something that is hated, just like an enemy. An antagonist goes against a person or thing and is often hated or strongly disliked so this would be the best choice.

"and he would go tot work and bore me nearly to death with some infernal reminiscence of this as long and tedious as it should be to me"
"Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and blockaded me there with his chair, and then sat down and reeled off the monotonous narrative…"
Then there's another one when Simon talks about the frog's talents: "you never see a frog so modest and trightforward as he was, for all he was so gifted"
I hope this helps!
