Which of the following sentences uses the word improbable correctly?

English
1 answer:
r-ruslan [8.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The sentence that uses the word improbable correctly is:

C. It is highly improbable that James will make it to class today; he has food poisoning.

Explanation:

"Improbable" is an adjective that means something is not likely to happen or to be true. But, in options A and B, "improbable" was used as a noun and as a verb, respectively. It also makes no sense to use "improbable" in the contexts given in each sentence. We can, thus, eliminate both options. Letter C, however, is correct. The word is used as it is supposed to, and it makes sense when inserted in the context - it is very unlikely that James will make it to class today.

Answer:

C). The gift grandmother brought was for me and him.

Explanation:

A prepositional phrase consist of a preposition which is followed by its object and any modifier of object. These phrases primarily function as either adjectives or adverbs to add detail in the sentence.

The object of preposition is said to be compound when the number of noun or pronoun(functioning as the object of preposition) is more than two. In the given question, the third sentence involves the prepositional phrase 'for me and him' appropriately featuring identified compound pronoun as it involves more than one object('me and him') and identifies to whom the subject(gift) is being referred to. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

In 1854, Sen. Stephen Douglas forced the Kansas-Nebraska Act through Congress. The bill, which repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, also opened up a good portion of the Midwest to the possible expansion of slavery.

Douglas' political rival, former Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln, was enraged by the bill. He scheduled three public speeches in the fall of 1854, in response. The longest of those speeches — known as the Peoria Speech — took three hours to deliver. In it, Lincoln aired his grievances over Douglas' bill and outlined his moral, economic, political and legal arguments against slavery.

But like many Americans, Lincoln was unsure what to do once slavery ended.

"Lincoln said during the Civil War that he had always seen slavery as unjust. He said he couldn't remember when he didn't think that way — and there's no reason to doubt the accuracy or sincerity of that statement," explains historian Eric Foner. "The problem arises with the next question: What do you do with slavery, given that it's unjust? Lincoln took a very long time to try to figure out exactly what steps ought to be taken."
