While Roberto Clemente amassed a mountain of impressive statistics during his baseball career, he was often mocked by the print

media in the United States for his heavy Spanish accent. Clemente was also subjected to the double discrimination of being a foreigner and being black in a racially segregated society. Although the media tried to call him "Bob" or "Bobby" and many of his baseball cards use "Bob," Clemente explicitly rejected those nicknames, stating in no uncertain terms that his name was Roberto. There was also confusion over the correct form of his surname. For 27 years the plaque at the National Baseball Hall of Fame read "Roberto Walker Clemente," mistakenly placing his mother's maiden name before his father's surname. Only in 2000 was it changed to its proper Latin American form, Roberto Clemente Walker.
This excerpt would most likely inspire a story about

A. the campaign to correct Roberto Clemente's name in the Hall of Fame
B. the impressive baseball career of Roberto Clemente
C. the marriage of Roberto Clemente's parents
D. the nicknames earned by Roberto Clemente during his career

A warrior ______ a gruesome monster ______.
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A warrior <u>frightens</u> a gruesome monster <u>away.</u>  

Explanation:

When you complete a sentence you have to make sure that the combination o verb and predicate are compatible, and that they express in the best possible way what you are trying to say. So let's analyze the answers:  

1) frightens; away: this is grammatically correct, and both words combine well and add meaning to the message.

2) splits; in half: this is grammatically incorrect, it would have to be "into halves" or "in two"

3) kills; forever: kills already implies is forever, it is repetitive

4)beats; in pieces: beats doesn't imply that the monster was split into pieces, so these two words don't combine.
