A literal translation of a text is when you translate in a so called word-for-word manner, that is, you take the most general denotation of a word and translate it in such a manner. In it, hidden meanings are avoided and because of that literal translation is often highly inaccurate because it does not transfer meaning properly, only lexical items.
Answer: "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose" is the grammatically correct sentence.
Explanation: In this sentence, "are" acts as the linking verb. It is a form of the linking verb "to be". However, "to be" has another form, "is". The type of verb to be used can usually be determined by how the sentence sounds.
The main way of deciding the verb to use is to relate it to the noun which is performing the action. If the noun itself is singular, "is" must be used whereas for plural nouns "are" is to be used.
When the form of verb is in accordance to the subject, it is called subject-verb agreement.
In the given sentence, the subjects are the two friends Kenji and Jose. Thus, the subject is plural. As a result, "are" is used and the correct sentence is "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose".

Equiano begins his first-person narrative by including several letters that attest to both the veracity of his text and his good character. He then proceeds to his narrative.
He was born in the Eboe province of Africa, and provides cultural detail on those people. While young children, he and his sister were seized by kidnappers and sold to slave traders. After being brought across Africa to the coast, he was sent to the West Indies via the horrific Middle Passage.
He was purchased quickly enough by Michael Henry Pascal, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy. Pascal had intended him as a gift for friends in London, but instead kept Equiano as an aid towards his naval endeavors during the Seven Years’ War. During this time, Equiano heard about the Christian God and started learning to read and write. Through his ability at sea, he became indispensable to Pascal and became accustomed to his situation.
Polices could decrease or increase BLM, This nonsense could,be decreased if policies would make it illegal, and against federal law, hence BLM protesters would be sent to prison for a few,months to years depending on the damage they've done to state properties. This could be increased if Policies continue to allow BLM to block the roads, burn buildings, Rob stores, etc. In my point of view...I think the goverment just allows this so they have something to watch while they sit on pure gold and silver watching our nation fall into flames while BLM supporters take over and hold a grudge for the past (slavery) Don't take offence to this, but if you do your what's known as a liberal. As this goes to anyone that reads this, we're all people, we're all humans, What's different? Our color? Our accents? Our style? So what.. we are All people Black Lives Matter and White Lives Matter Don't exist in my eyes because All Lives Matter. Its hard live in color When you just see black and white...
Note: Don't write all,of this directly, take notes out of it, and use resources from it. (This was all my personal thoughts)
