ng men are sleuth-hounds in pursuit of money”?
The West Riding men are sleuth-hounds in pursuit of money. Miss Brontë related to my husband a curious instance illustrative of this eager desire for riches. A man that she knew, who was a small manufacturer, had engaged in many local speculations, which had always turned out well, and thereby rendered him a person of some wealth.

Circle the incorrect pronoun shift if the student feels ill they should be sent to the nurse
Mandarinka [93]

   

   A pronoun shift is when you modify the pronoun in the same sentence, then the reader is not able to understand who is the subject of the sentence.

   In the exemplified sentence the pronoun inserted incorrectly is <u>they</u>, shifting the initially singular subject "The student" (pronouns he or she) to a plural pronominal form.

   When correcting, the writer must evaluate which is the desired pronoun, that fits his subject.:

<em>(Singular form) If the student feels ill, he/she should be sent to the nurse. </em>

<em>(Plural form) If the students feel ill, they should be sent to the nurse.</em>

   So, the pronoun shift that should be circled is They

One way to demonstrate academic integrity is to
Damm [24]
Academic integrity is defined as an act of honesty and responsibility in scholarship.
Students and faculty must obey rules of honest scholarship meaning, that all academic work should result from an individual's own efforts.

One way to demonstrate academic integrity is to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is using other people's ideas or copying their words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information. In short, plagiarism is putting forward ideas and words of other people and conveying that it is your work.

For example:
In doing research papers, we cite instances and events that are relevant in the progress of our research papers. These instance and events may not personally come from you, if so, you must also include in the research paper the sources where you found these instances and events.

In the story of David who is Goliath?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Goliath and Saul

The underlying purpose of the story of Goliath is to show that Saul is not fit to be king (and that David is). Saul was chosen to lead the Israelites against their enemies, but when faced with Goliath he refuses to do so; Saul is a very tall man, but Goliath is a giant.
