Jerry was a connoisseur who collected rare coins.

In this sentence, connoisseur is being used as a noun. "Jerry was a [...]" can not be followed by an adjective when used this way. Jerry was a red, Jerry was a stupid, Jerry was a grumpy. These are all followed by different adjectives and do not make grammatical sense. Connoisseur may also not be a verb because these following would not make much sense either: Jerry was a running, Jerry was a took, Jerry was a walking, Jerry was a jumped.

The actual meaning of a connoisseur is a person who has good sense or judgement. A critic when it comes to tastes in things like art, etc. Without knowing this definition, however, the above were ways you could figure something like this out next time.

Answer:

Antony wants Caesar to forgive him for being nice to his conspirators.

Antony predicts that the land will be bloodied by men fighting men.

Antony expects Caesar's ghost to seek retribution for the wrongs done.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Antony stands next to Caesar's body and asks him for forgiveness for talking politely to his murderers: "O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!"

Then he foresees that a curse will fall, that there will be a terribly violent civil war, and that people will become evil and cruel:

"A curse shall light upon the limbs of men; Domestic fury and fierce civil strife Shall cumber all the parts of Italy; Blood and destruction shall be so in use, And dreadful objects so familiar, That mothers shall but smile when they behold Their infants quartered with the hands of war, All pity choked with custom of fell deeds (...)"

Finally, he refers to Caesar's ghost, who will come back for revenge:

"And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice Cry "Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war (...)"

Which sentence is not relevant to the paragraph and should be deleted?

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The reason is option D or "music has been proven to calm animals and to make humans smarter." That is because the entire paragraph was about the science to why humans enjoy music so much. Earlier sentences suggested MRI scans, monitoring brain activity, and people being willing to spend more on music based on their brain activity. The final sentence was information about how music calms animals when the entire paragraph was about the science to why humans enjoy music which is why that is your answer.

Hope this helps.
