Answer:
The bike on the bike rack is blue.
Explanation:
The correct sentence from the given sentences is 'The bike on the bike rack is blue.' In the other three sentences, the error is in subject-verb-agreement. Subject-verb-agreement exemplifies that the subject and the verb in a sentence should be the same in numbers and tense. This means that with the singular noun, the singular verb will be used and with the plural noun, the plural verb will be used. In the first sentence, the subject 'cars' is plural, but the verb 'belongs' is singular. In the second sentence, the subject 'sidewalks' is plural, but the verb 'has' is singular. In the third sentence, the subject 'surface' is singular, but the verb 'were' is plural.
The two friends and the dog were passing Moulsey which was one of the busiest dock on the river. The dock was full of boaters who were in their Sunday boating dress enjoying and relaxing. It was gayest sight with the caps and jackets of the men, pretty coloured dresses of the woman, excited dogs, moving boats, white sails, pleasant landscape and sparkling water.
Jerome liked little red in all things but criticized Harris to wear yellow and George to bought ugly new blazer for this trip. Jerome and Harris were worried about the blazer which looks gaudy because it would attract attention to the boat.
Girls didn’t look bad in boat but Jerome had an opinion that a boating dress should be worn by them in a boat. Jerome tells a story when he was going with two beautifully dressed ladies. But they were dressed for a photographic studio, not for a river picnic. The first thing that they thought was that the boat was not clean and they were afraid of getting their dresses wet. He was stroking but not able to prevent few drops of water falling on their dresses though he did his best. The ladies felt relieved when he asked another man to row but this man spread more water on their dresses and they began to protect themselves with their umbrellas and drew rugs and coats over themselves.
They reached Hampton Court. Harris wanted to visit Mrs. Thomas's tomb but Jerome rejected it. Jerome reminded of his visit to a village church where he saw an old bald-headed guy coming to him carrying a bunch of keys in his hand. Jerome protested when he insisted to see the tomb. Jerome had to run away when he burst into tears.
Harris asked him to see the skulls at least. Harris was interested in tombs, graves, epitaphs and monuments revealed that he had joined the trip to see Mrs. Thomas's Tomb. Harris got angry when Jerome reminded him that they had to reach Shepperton by five o'clock to meet George. Harris said that he had never seen George doing any work. Harris wanted to go to the pub to have a drink but Jerome told him that there are no pubs nearby so he settled for lemonade from the hamper. Harris was steering while finding the bottle which was at the bottom of the hamper. So, he pulled the wrong line and sent the boat into the bank. Harris fall into the hamper with his leg up due to force hit of the boat. Jerome helped him out which makes him further angrier.
The second paragraph, the one that starts with: " He lay on his back, and began to pass life in review"
Answer:
Laura Bates offered herself to teach Shakespeare in the maximum security section of a prison in the state of Indiana. What resulted was that the inmates liked the English writer.
Bates decided to share its experience in her book “Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years of Solitary with the Bard. Interviewed by Michael Martin of NRP news, Bates shares the central idea of teaching Shakespeare in a maximum security prison. Bates comments that for many inmates was easy to make sense of some passages of Shakespeare’s works because they had lived something similar or could relate to. Something that scholars found complicated to relate with.
Bates sets the example of “Macbeth”, in which the prisoners related to the story for the inner struggle of the main character and their personal situations. When prisoners got into Macbeth character, that helped them to got inside their own characters.
