Answer:

The sentences in the present continuous are:

a) Jane is riding a bike this weekend.

b) I am jumping in the party right now.

c) My friend is doing the school's work tonight.

d) My mother is making a cake this weekend.

e) My friends and I are riding our bikes this weekend. We are enjoying it very much.

f) George is wearing long hair.

g) I am bringing a snack to school today.

h) I am sleeping until late tomorrow.

i) I am thinking of going to London next year.

j) I am playing computer games in my bedroom.

Explanation:

The present continuous structure is the following:

subject + am/is/are + main verb with -ing

We need to pay attention to the use of the present continuous as well before we can transform the sentences. The present continuous is used to refer to actions that are taking place at the moment of speaking or that are to happen in a nearby future. Notice that the present continuous cannot be used for habitual actions - that is for the simple present. That is why, in the sentences above, more changes were necessary. Instead of "all the weekends," which refers to a habitual action, for instance, we can use "this weekend".

NOTE: For letter F, I needed to change the verb. In English, "George is having long hair" is not an acceptable structure.

Which of the following sentences needs a pronoun? They are going on a cruise to the Bahamas this week. Victor took Victor's seat

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Victor took Victor's seat in the theater before the show started.

Explanation:

Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns or noun phrases. Instead of repeating someone's name constantly, we will use certain pronouns. We can use the second sentence as an example. It's not practical or natural to repeat Victor's name over and over again. Instead, we will start using the pronoun he (and its other forms - him, his) after the first time his name is mentioned. That's why the sentence should be written like this:

Victor took his seat in the theater before the show started.

What did Tony hope would happen when he received first communion? What really happened afterward?

Aleksandr [31]

Antonio’s intensified religious doubts illustrate the extent to which he had pegged his hope for moral understanding on a miraculous epiphany during his Communion. His disillusionment indicates the degree to which Antonio is still a child, even if he is an unusually thoughtful and morally curious one. It is naïve, of course, for him to think that the act of receiving Communion might revolutionize his moral understanding of the world, but his power of understanding and belief is still so strong that he is able to convince himself completely. However, his childlike faith takes a blow after his disappointment. After repeated failures to receive God’s explanation of the existence of evil, Antonio even ventures the thought that God himself does not exist. His faith in God is further challenged when Ultima is able to lift the curse on Téllez’s home, an act a priest failed spectacularly to accomplish.

In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Wollstonecraft contrasts her logic and reasoning with Rousseau’s work.

Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” is a step towards feminist philosophical work which speaks about the rights that the women have been deprived of. She explains in her work that how men and women are equal and hence should receive equal rights. She puts forward the issues of women as they were not allowed to work and had to be dependent on the male member of the family for their living. Her argument insisted on opening doors for women in the field of politics and medicines.
