After reading the passage, we can say that the grammatical mistake present in it is the following:

(P) Superlative form of the adjective.

<h3>When should we use the superlative?</h3>
  • The superlative form of an adjective is used to indicate that someone or someone possesses a certain quality in an incomparable way. There is no competition - no other person or thing in that group that can beat that person or thing.
  • For example, imagine a group of three people. John is taller than James, but James is taller than Eric. We can immediately tell that John is also taller than Eric. Thus, in that group of people, <u>John is the tallest.</u> There is no competition - no one in that group is taller than he is.

<h3>Why is the superlative wrong in the question?</h3>
  • The problem here is that "largest" is a superlative, but we are only comparing two types of kayaks. The sentence is not affirming that a certain kayak is the largest of all in a group, only that it is larger than another one.
  • In this case, the use of the comparative form "larger" sounds much better than the use of the superlative. When comparing two people or two objects, we should to go for the comparative form.

Plz help me on this question<br><br> Summarize chapter three of To Kill A Mockingbird
KatRina [158]
At lunch, Scout rubs Walter’s nose in the dirt for getting her in trouble, but Jem intervenes and invites Walter to lunch (in the novel, as in certain regions of the country, the midday meal is called “dinner”). At the Finch house, Walter and Atticus discuss farm conditions “like two men,” and Walter puts molasses all over his meat and vegetables, to Scout’s horror. When she criticizes Walter, however, Calpurnia calls her into the kitchen to scold her and slaps her as she returns to the dining room, telling her to be a better hostess. Back at school, Miss Caroline becomes terrified when a tiny bug, or “cootie,” crawls out of a boy’s hair. The boy is Burris Ewell, a member of the Ewell clan, which is even poorer and less respectable than the Cunningham clan. In fact, Burris only comes to school the first day of every school year, making a token appearance to avoid trouble with the law. He leaves the classroom, making enough vicious remarks to cause the teacher to cry. At home, Atticus follows Scout outside to ask her if something is wrong, to which she responds that she is not feeling well. She tells him that she does not think she will go to school anymore and suggests that he could teach her himself. Atticus replies that the law demands that she go to school, but he promises to keep reading to her, as long as she does not tell her teacher about it.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This stanza is about a climatic part in the poem, mostly about the death of a certain character. Since this character is taking the head back to a location, it seems like a resolution. So, therefore, I think the best answer here is D.

Hope this helps! Good luck on this Test/Quiz. I hope you do well!
