Answer:The first sentence describes how Federigo lived happily after his marriage. However, I do not feel that Federigo is truly in love with his wife. The references to his “wealthy” wife and his better managed “financial affairs” give me the impression that Federigo lacks passion.
Rewritten sentence: He was married to the woman he loved, and she was also very rich. His situation motivated him to manage his money more wisely, and he had a happy life with her.
The second sentence tells the reader that Monna Giovanna “commended,” or praised, Federigo for the “greatness of his spirit” despite having “lost all hope of getting the falcon” and “improving the health of her son.” She also “reproached” (gently scolded) Federigo for killing the Falcon. These words show that Monna is a gentle and sensitive person, and yet she has a strong spirit. Many people in her situation would have lost control and shouted or wept in this situation. However, Monna praises and thanks Federigo for his “good will” and accepts her son’s fate.
Rewritten sentence: When she realized Federigo had killed the falcon, she gently scolded him. But secretly she thought that he had acted in an honorable manner, despite being poor. She thanked Federigo for his generosity to her. She was sad as she returned to her sick son because with the falcon dead, she had no hope of saving his life.
Answer:
B. Does anyone have the time?
Explanation:
According to the subject-verb agreement, the subject and the verb must agree in number. The word <em>anyone</em>, like words <em>everyone, someone, no one, everybody, somebody, anybody, nobody, each, each one, either </em>and <em>neither</em> requires a singular verb: <em>Does anyone...</em>
That's why options A and C are incorrect. Instead of the singular form <em>does</em>, we have the form <em>do</em>, which agrees with a plural subject (e.g <em>Do they have the time?</em>)
“What happened? Why are you limping?” says Miss Prokes.
“Uh... I was just walking down the stairs but suddenly I stumbled and fell,” she says.
“Claire, how many times have I told you not to rush down the stairs, but you still do not pay attention to my words,” Miss Prokes sighs and says in a lowly voice.
