Answer:

"People developed the umbrella for the purpose of protection from the sun, which royalty demanded."

Explanation:

This is because...

- Royalty there, demanding protection from the sun, so people developed the umbrella for this purpose.

This doesn't make sense and is definitely not effective since the whole sentence is all over the place. It is not concise nor clear. In other words, the sentence does not have a proper flow.

- People developed the umbrella for this purpose, royalty having had demanded protection from the sun.

What's the purpose? It again isn't to the point and also seems a bit over the place. In other words, the sentence does not have a proper flow.

- People developed the umbrella for the purpose of protection from the sun, which royalty demanded.

This sentence makes a lot of sense as it talks about the development and the purpose right after. It is not off track and gets straight to the point. Also, the sentence has a flow and does sound pleasing in a way.

- Royalty there demanded protection from the sun, and people developed the umbrella for this purpose.

Even though this sentence may make sense and may sound better, the use of words and the placement of them does not go together. In other words, the sentence does not have a proper flow.

**excuse my repetitiveness of "the sentence does not have a proper flow". I couldn't find a better way to explain so... :)*

Hope it helped though!!

Personification has to with giving human attributes to non-human objects. In this case, there is no such thing as a "physical heartbeat of the group." A group cannot have a heartbeat. However, figures of speech (personification is one of them) are helpful in order to effectively convey a message.

Personification helps send the reader a message that the activist group acts as one body. It lets the audience know that the activist group is united, acts as a solid community, and as one united front. Therefore, using personification creates a stronger tone that effectively conveys a message.

"And he lost his mind in consequence?"

alexdok [17]

Answer: B) as a result

Explanation:

The meaning of the phrase "in consequence" is "as a result."

If something happens first, and something else happens afterwards in consequence, it happens as a result of the first event.

In this particular example, a man has lost his mind because of an event that is not mentioned, and has not been sane since then. His insanity is, therefore, a result (or a consequence) of that event. We can assume that the person described a traumatic event that the man experienced, and the other person replied with a question: "And he lost his mind in consequence?"
