Answer and Explanation:

If you are having a hard time figuring out which word goes into the black, try plugging all the words in to see if it makes sense.

I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

I didn't sleep some hours last night.

- This doesn't sound right; Some can be used for plural nouns, but because of the way this sentence is structured, it can't be applied.

I didn't sleep any hours last night.

- Another way of saying any (in this case) is at all, which would mean the sentence needs to be restructured, which we can't do.

I didn't sleep no hours last night .

- This isn't correct, because it contains a double negative, which is when two negative words are used in the same clause (group of words containing a verb) to explain a single negative idea.

I didn't sleep much hours last night.

- Due to hours being a countable plural noun, we can't use much, therefore this is incorrect.

I didn't sleep many hours last night.

- This is correct! If you wanted to replace an amount of hours slept (or not slept), you can use many to show you slept for x amount of time without being specific.

Create a dialogue for 2 women, which should include the following topics:

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

S: Hello Kate, How are you?

K: Fine, sorry that I make you wait so long. There was a lot of traffic.

S: Oh yes! I noticed. Take a seat. I've already ordered you a coffee.

K: Thanks! Did you hear the rumor?

S: Apparently Tom was fired. He didn't quit his job.

K: I don't believe that's true. I knew that he wanted to spend the summer in Europe, and he saved enough money to do it.

S: I wish I had enough money to travel too. I spent all my savings on a new car.

K: Yes, that would be nice. At least you have a new car, and you can travel around the country. If I had enough money, I would buy a house on the beach and spend all the weekends there.

S: Now that you've mentioned the beach, I'm planning to go to the beach this weekend, would you like to come?

K: I'm sorry, I have plans.

S: That's alright. We'll leave it for the next month.

K: Cool. We could invite Megan. She loves the beach.

S: of course, and we can also tell Lily, she is such a funny person. There isn't a dull moment with her.

K: You're right, She is always telling jokes and doing silly things, but also she cooks an amazing lasagna. Have you tried her lasagna?

S: No, why have you? Now I'm jealous.

K: She gave it to me as a present for my birthday because the real one got lost in the mail.

S: She has a secret recipe that only the members of her family know.

K: I will try to get the recipe. Maybe her mom will give it to me.

S: I don't think so. It was given to Susan by her grandmother under the promise of not telling the secret ingredient to anyone.

K: I will try to get it anyways.

S: Look at the time!. I have to go. I need to study for an exam.

K: Ok, good luck! See you soon.

Explanation:

The relative clause in the dialogue is: "She has a secret recipe that only the members of her family know." It is a defining relative clause object-related since it is talking about the recipe.

The second conditional with "wish" is: "I wish I had enough money to travel." The second conditional expresses something impossible to happen in the present, but you desire it to happen. The second conditional consists of the subject + wish + past perfect.

The second conditional with "if" is: "If I had enough money, I would buy a house on the beach." In this case, we use if instead of wish, and the sentence has a second part with would. If+ past perfect,+Would+ present.

The passive voice is: "Tom was fired" and "It was given to Susan by her grandmother." In the first case, we omit the person who fired Tom. We didn't use the by phrase.

To turn an active sentence into a passive one: we have to move the direct object to the subject position and add an auxiliary before the verb, which has to be in the past.

PART A: Which of the following statements best describes a central idea of the text?

White raven [17]

Part A: B AquAdvantage salmon has DNA from other fish that lets it grow faster and in different conditions than regular Atlantic salmon.

The entire text talks about how these genetically modified salmon could be a better food source if it was approved by the FDA. One of the reasons is because it grows faster and in different conditions so it is easier farm.

Part B: C Paragraph 14

This paragraph supports part A because it specifies that the AquAdvantage salmon can grow to full size in half the time of Atlantic salmon.

3. D The FDA temporarily reversed its approval of transgenic salmon as food after listening to public concerns.

Originally the FDA, after extensive research, decided the genetically modified salmon was safe to eat and not harmful to the environment as long as it was farmed in facilities and not released in the wild. The text then goes on to say, "But so many people objected that the FDA decided to reconsider its decision." The other statements are simply incorrect.

4. C They show that people already eat genetically modified plant food without any issues or protest.

In the paragraphs, it explains that people in Canada are already eating some genetically modified food such as "tomatoes, corn, soya, canola, squash, milk products and other foods".
