D would be the correct answer for this question.
I’m guessing B.
Good luck :)
Answer:
The essay of Barbara Holland speaks in favor of having one child so that parents can have more peace, time for themselves, and control over the child. Many children can have various demands, they develop separately, and this can rob parents of their time, privacy, and comfort. When there is one child, parents outnumber the child and can dedicate themselves more to personal self-development.
Explanation:
<u>Barbara Holland claims that when there is more than one child in the family they instantly outnumber the parents, and therefore can’t be under good control, discipline, and taught manners. </u>There are more problems and obligations that parents have to handle.
Parents can never be comfortable nor provide time for themselves. They are <u>robbed of privac</u>y, time for conversation, and their marriage can be affected by this. <u>Parents won’t have the privilege to develop themselves as individuals. </u>
Holland claims <u>every child will develop it’s “own culture” </u>and want separate things and have individual demands. <u>They become “counterculture” in the family, in contrast to parents</u>. Parents have to satisfy their demands and accept their conditions, instead of otherwise.
I don’t think that any of the options are correct..?
The pair of verb forms which correctly completes the sentence is the following one:
A. are; appears.
The complete sentence would look like this:
"Mercury and Venus are relatively close to the sun, and neither Mercury nor Venus appears to support life."
In the first clause, the subject is formed by "Mercury and Venus", which means it is plural, and therefore it requires a plural verb (<em>Mercury and Venus</em> are= <em>They</em> are).
In the second clause, there is a neither...nor construction, and both elements which form the subject (again, <em>Mercury and Venus</em>, but this time used in the construction <u>neither</u><u><em> Mercury </em></u><u>nor</u><u><em> Venus</em></u>) are singular nouns, which means a singular verb must be used: neither Mercury nor Venus <em>appears</em>.
