================================================
Explanation:
The singular indefinite pronouns are:
- Another
- Anybody
- Anyone
- Anything
- Each
- Either
- Everybody
- Everyone
- Everything
- Much
- Neither
- Nobody
- No one
- Nothing
- One
- Somebody
- Someone
- Something
The plural forms are:
- Both
- Few
- Many
- Others
- Several
Then there are indefinite pronouns that could either be singular or plural depending on context.
- All
- Any
- Most
- None
- Some
For instance, we could say "Some dog is barking" (singular) and "Some of the dogs are barking" (plural). Take note of the very slight difference in wording. Also, take note of the "is" and "are".
----------------------
With all that in mind, you should have enough info to a) determine the indefinite pronoun and b) determine if you have a singular or plural form.
In problem 1, "Someone" is the indefinite pronoun. It's in the "singular" list so we go for "someone is". The full sentence being "<u>Someone is</u> knocking at the door".
For problem 2, "none" is in the gray area. It could be singular or it could be plural. Notice that "none of the marbles" can be replaced with simply "none". The sentence "None of the marbles <u>belong</u> to Lucy" is the same as "None belong to Lucy". Though of course the first sentence is more descriptive, while the second relies on implicit context cues from somewhere else.
The other sentences will use the same idea.
Answer:
C.) Along a well-traveled road
Explanation:
<em>David Swan</em> is a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne set along a well-traveled road. David is traveling to Boston and he stopped by the road to get rest and get some sleep. There are many travelers who noticed him sleeping by the road. Some of them was a married couple who wanted to adopt him, then there was a girl who<em> saved</em> him from a bee and admired his physical appearance, then there were two criminals who wanted to kill him, but he avoided that because he was asleep. David eventually wakes up completely unaware of people who crossed their paths with him. Hawthorne wanted to put an accent on how we have/miss numerous opportunities in life and that we should contemplate what is the right opportunity to be taken.
