Answer: C. People will always look for a way to achieve immortality.

Explanation: In this excerpt from "Exhalation" by Ted Chiang, the theme that is best supported is that <u><em>people will always look for a way to achieve immortality</em></u>. In "Exhalation", the narrator describes a world with living creatures that are made of mechanical parts. These creatures fill their lungs with air from the reservoir. The air flow depends on air pressure, and this pressure is reaching equilibrium. Equilibrium means death. The Reversalists are trying to find a way to solve this, thus bringing immortality to all of them.

Jupiter and his mighty company end the golden agePart a which of the following best identifies the central theme of this text?A.
stira [4]

Answer:

Answer:

The correct answer is c) Power can corrupt.

Explanation:

It is said that before in the Golden Age, everything was handled by the Titans who had the appearance of humans but were more abundant and stronger. As the king of the Titans was Saturn the father of Jupiter (also known as Zeus), at this time they say that people felt happy with what Saturn offered them, there was no disease, war, envy and no one wanted to rule another, for example, the fields were full of harvest and beautiful climates.

But  Jupiter had planned to defeat the Titans and joined his brothers to destroy them; in this way, the golden age no longer existed, and everything that was previously known as the golden age no longer existed. People were influenced by power, causing wars and enemies; all were eager for power.

I hope this information can help you.

uncommonly - adverbial

thrifty - subject complement (adjective)

2. The Oldsmobile was on its last legs

The Oldsmobile - subject

was - past tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

on its last legs - adverbial

3. Celia is the CEO of a large multinational corporation.

Celia - subject

is - present tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

the CEO of a large multinational corporation - subject complement (noun phrase)

on Friday - adverbial

5. The plumber will be here soon.

Exercise 2

like a nice man - subject complement (noun phrase)

2. The inside of the bakery smells delicious.

The inside of the bakery - subject

3. On that day, Francis became a criminal.

Francis - subject

a criminal - subject complement (noun phrase)

4. It sounds like a good idea!

5. Ms. Yeziersky became a schoolteacher.

Ms. Yeziersky - subject

became - linking verb (past tense)

a schoolteacher - subject complement (noun phrase)

In all examples, we have an equation:

subject = noun phrase (what?)

               adjective (how?)

               adverbial (when? where? how? etc.)

To define if a subject complement is a noun phrase or an adjective, we always think of the main word:

like a nice man (noun phrase because everything modifies the noun MAN)

uncommonly thrifty (<em>uncommonly</em> modifies <em>thrifty</em> so it is an adjective).
