Reading ready player one was ok. And I say this because the plots in the story weren’t as exciting as any other story I would read but, the thought that went into the story was good. Like how the author of the book thought of which events should come first, and what should go one throughout the story. Another thing that I liked were the descriptive words the author used to help the reader visualize what is going on in the story. The author also did well on choosing the characters personality, and how it would help in certain events of the story. And this is why I think reading ready player one was not the best, or the worst book to read in my own opinion. :)
1) "... the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago... [during which] the Japanese Government has deliberately sought... [false] hope for continued peace."
2) "The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands... American ships have been reported torpedoed..., [and] yesterday the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands..."
The first excerpt shows that Japan gave the US a false sense of hope by saying they are reigning in their expansions and hope to continue to have peaceful relations with the United States. The second excerpt then shows what Franklin was talking about, in that they used the 'guise of peace to backstab the US in hopes of continuing their expansion eastward.
Answer: "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose" is the grammatically correct sentence.
Explanation: In this sentence, "are" acts as the linking verb. It is a form of the linking verb "to be". However, "to be" has another form, "is". The type of verb to be used can usually be determined by how the sentence sounds.
The main way of deciding the verb to use is to relate it to the noun which is performing the action. If the noun itself is singular, "is" must be used whereas for plural nouns "are" is to be used.
When the form of verb is in accordance to the subject, it is called subject-verb agreement.
In the given sentence, the subjects are the two friends Kenji and Jose. Thus, the subject is plural. As a result, "are" is used and the correct sentence is "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose".
