Indeed- Riddles help develop crucial critical thinking skills and works the mind to think of answers beyond the ordinary and simple! =)
Hope I helped! ^-^
the answer is C (APEX) because the passage mentions she is the way her daughter wanted her to be and lists characteristics of what she should be like, seeking her daughter’s approval/satisfaction/admiration
The correct answer is the statement that reads: “Lincoln argues that the war is a punishment to both the North and South for allowing slavery to exist for so long, reminding the Northerners not to put all the blame on the South”. Near the end of the Civil War, Lincoln delivered his <em>Second Inaugural Address</em> (1865) and he argued that the conflict that was happening (Civil War) was an offence to God and <u>a “divine” punishment for the sin of slavery</u> that both the North and South have tolerated. In his speech, one can spot Lincoln’s argument when he says: “If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him?”.
In B, "walk" is not a preposition, It's a verb >>we reject the answer.
In C, "wither" is not a preposition. >>we reject the answer.
In D, "whale" is not a preposition, it's a noun. >>we reject the answer.
so A is the correct asnwer!
ps. it there are also other problems in the rejected answers, for example, "wonder" is a verb, but one false word is enough, so I just gave an example.
Ellipsis can be used when words or sentences are omitted when the meaning is not changed.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An ellipsis is a combination of dots which are mostly three dots. It is normally used when there is an omission of words or there can also be omission or missing the of sentence. A whole section of the text can also be missing with the use of the ellipsis.
But the major alternative or the use of the ellipsis is used that when these sentences or words can be missing or omitted but the actual meaning will not change.
