the "one true ring" is a plot device that brings characters together

The "one true ring" in the Hobbit brings all of the characters in the story together. It actually continues throughout the entire Lord of the Rings series. This desire to either attain or destroy the ring is what the entire plot centers around.

Other examples of a "MacGuffin" is the Holy Grail in the Arthurian Legends and the maltese falcon in The Maltese Falcon.

Which word correctly completes the sentence? For __________ are you baking those cookies? A. who B. whom
olasank [31]

I also agree that the answer is B: whom

in this sentence you are using the  preposition + whom grammar structure. Whom is considered an object pronoun and is used when asking who will receive the action, which in this case, I believe is, baking those cookies. Hopefully  this makes sense and good luck.

ElenaW [278]
What is the primary purpose of the couplet in this
sonnet?
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
- "Sonnet 100,
William Shakespeare

reaper who wields a scythe.
The purpose is to complete the 14 lines required to
