Answer:
According to the sheriff's words, we can say that the men found no incriminating evidence at Mrs. Wright's house, because they considered "kitchen stuff" a particularly feminine matter and therefore irrelevant to the investigation of a murder crime.
Explanation:
"A Jury of Her Peers" shows how men consistently underestimate women's ability and contempt for memos in matters they consider to be particularly feminine, even if a serious crime has occurred.
That's because although Mrs. Wright is to blame for the murder of her husband, the men fail to see any evidence that it will break her down. This is because her house was somewhat feminine, with many things related to cooking, which the men considered was not relevant to the investigation, nor was it appropriate for them to be seen handling these kinds of things.
The second sentence is correct

One type of the adjectives is predicate adjective. A predicate adjective is an adjective which follows a linking verb and modifies or refers back to the main subject of that linking verb.
It usually is used just before the noun it modies.
Here in this example:
'Penguins seem comfortable in the coolest habitats', comfortable is the predicate adjective which follows the linking verb 'seem' and modifies the noun.
Answer:
The best answer is c. She's confident that her daughter's attitude is the only reason she's not a genius.
Explanation:
Suyuan is the narrator's mother in Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds". She is a Chinese woman who decides to make a child prodigy out of her daughter Jing-mei, sort of a Chinese Shirley Temple. She quizzes her on several subjects, changes her hair to make it curly and then short, and finally makes her take piano lessons. At first, Jing-mei is excited about the idea of being a prodigy. She likes to picture all the attention she'll receive, and believes problems won't exist if she is famous. She is not, however, willing to work hard to accomplish things. She chooses to be lazy and, since her mother is constantly nagging her, she chooses to fail. She even says she had the right to be a disappointment. She succeeds in letting her mother down at her piano recital, where she plays terribly. Suyuan is not fooled by her daughter's performance. She knows Jing-mei could have done better if she had been willing to apply herself. Years later, when Jing-mei is already grown up, Suyuan gives her the piano as a present and remarks precisely that:
"Well, I probably can't play anymore," I said. "It's been years." "You pick up fast," my mother said, as if she knew this was certain. “You have natural talent. You could be a genius if you want to." "No, I couldn't." "You just not trying," my mother said. And she was neither angry nor sad. She said it as if announcing a fact that could never be disproved. "Take it," she said.
Answer:
The question is not complete, as none of the clauses in the sentence are underlined, however, I will give you the type of each of the two clauses:
<u>Because he ran:</u> (subordinate clause)
<u>he was able to catch the bus.</u> (independent clause)
Explanation:
A clause is a part of a sentence, and a clause contains a verb.
Subordinate/dependent clauses are clauses that cannot stand alone when isolated from a sentence, and still make complete sense, instead, they help to give further meaning to the main/independent clause. In this case "Because he ran", is not a complete thought on its own, as it leads to asking the question "so what?"
Independent/main clauses can stand alone and still make sense. In this example "he was able to catch the bus" can stand alone and still make sense.
