The simple subjects in each sentence are the following:

11. Often, a mask (was, were) made for ritual dances.

12. Natural forces (has, have) been the subjects of art from early times on.

13. Also, pictures (has, have) often represented religious beliefs.

14. Art (does, do) represent various aspects of the daily life and customs of a society.

Now, let's underline the correct verb form and label which type of verb they are:

11. Often, a mask (was, were) made for ritual dance. - AUX

12. Natural forces (has, have) been the subjects of art from early times on. - AUX

13. Also, pictures (has, have) often represented religious beliefs. - AUX

14. Art (does, do) represent various aspects of the daily life and customs of a society. - AUX

We can define a simple subject as the main word in the subject, the one that establishes a relationship with the verb. Let's use the subject from sentence 11 as an example: the complete subject is "a mask", but the most important word out of those is "mask". This is the word we are talking about, the one that is the topic of the sentence.

As seen in the answer above, all the underlined verbs were auxiliary verbs. Auxiliary verbs accompany the main verbs. While the main verbs express action, the auxiliary verbs help convey tense, emphasis, possibility, questions, etc. Notice that we choose the verb to agree with the subject: singular-singular ("mask was"), plural-plural ("pictures have").

This question, in conclusion, concerned the relationship between a subject and a verb.

liraira [26]

Answer:

Musical lyrics.

Explanation:

"The Great Wave", a famous painting of a seascape with Mt. Fiji in the background was done by Hokusai, a Japanese painter. This painting reflected the newly emerging nation of Japan and how it is 'coming' into the world.

When Neil MacGregor presented this painting to the audience in Japan, the director of London's British Museum presents how this painting came to emerge. He also focused on how the Asian nation 'grew' slowly while the world is occupied with 'wars'. And in his rhythmic presentation, MacGregor used a musical lyric as his outside source.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Identify the awkward or illogical part of the following sentence. Fustian writing is where you write pompous, bombastic nonsense

11111nata11111 [884]

The sentence "Fustian writing is where you write pompous, bombastic nonsense." is illogical for the following reasons:

1. Fustian, like the sentence implies, means pretentious speech or writing.
2. Fustian writing does not refer to a place.
3. The word where is used to refer to a place.
4. Using the word where implies that fustian writing is a place, which is wrong.

Therefore, one can correct the sentence and say this instead: Fustian writing is when you write pompous, bombastic nonsense.

Claire and Elena are going on a road trip with their families. They plan to meet at Elena's house and then follow each other. Cl

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

C). The distance covered by Claire prior to 10 a.m. was 120 miles more than the distance covered by Elena prior to 10 a.m. After leaving Elena's house, Elena was on the road two hours more than Claire.

Explanation:

The third option correctly compares the distances covered by Claire and Elena. It aptly states that Claire covered a distance of 120 miles more than Elena before 10 a.m. as Claire begins her journey after 10 a.m. from 120 miles while Elena begins from 0(displayed in the paragraph). The next comparison is that Claire after 'leaving Elena's house', immediately begins her journey and covers 120 miles distance(total becomes 240) in the next two hours while Elena remains two hours on the road and begins her journey after that. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
