Read the excerpt from "Blue Crabs Provide Evidence of Oil Tainting Gulf Food Web" by John Flesher of the Associated Press (2010)

:
Weeks ago, before engineers pumped mud and cement to plug the gusher, scientists began finding specks of oil in crab larvae plucked from waters
across the Gulf coast.
The government said last week that three-quarters of the spilled oil has been removed or naturally dissipated from the water. But the crab larvae
discovery was an ominous sign that crude had already infiltrated the Gulf's vast food web-and could affect it for years to come.
"It would suggest the oil has reached a position where it can start moving up the food chain instead of just hanging in the water," said Bob Thomas, a
biologist at Loyola University in New Orleans. "Something likely will eat those oiled larvae... and then that animal will be eaten by something bigger and son on."

Which central idea is supported by the excerpt below:

"But what's going to happen next year, if this water is polluted and it's killing the eggs and larvae? I think it's going to be a long-term problem."

•Other organisms in the Gulf waters feed on the larvae of blue crabs.
•Most of the pilled oil that contaminated the Gulf waters recently has been cleaned up.
•Scientists recently discovered oil droplets on blue crab larvae in waters along the Gulf coast.
•Scientists fear long-term negative effects on Gulf coast organisms from contaminated blue crab larvae.

Which sentence uses a verb that agrees with its compound subject? A. Either calculators or an adding machine make an accountant'
Sladkaya [172]
I believe B would be the answer, as the subject closest to the verb (rolls) corresponds to the verb (when there is an "or" or "nor" in a sentence, the verb should correspond to the subject closest to it). For A, "adding machine" should correspond to "make," but it doesn't. For C, the subject is plural (team members and the coach), but the verb is singular; the case is the same for D.

Lemon brown tells Greg, "If you know your pappy did something, you know you can do something too." What does Lemon Brown mean by
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer and Explanation: The statement "If you know your pappy did something, you know you can do something too." was made in a bid to show Greg that through hard work, anything in life can be accomplished. This is very significant to Greg because his father was already an accomplished postal worker. And by the statement, Lemon Brown means that his son Jesse was very proud that his father was a famous Blues player, and in relation to this also that he could do anything also that he set his mind to. That would be a way of sharing his successes with his son.
