Question 2

English

Answer:  The correct answer is:
_________________________

 Choice: [A]:  " The dog took its bone and ran into the house. "
_________

Explanation:

_________

Take note of the following text of:
_________
  Choice [B]:  " The dog took it's bone and ran into the dog house."

 {<u>Note</u>: This answer choice is incorrect.}.  

 Note the contraction:  " it's " ;  

           → is used only in place of:  " it is " — or; " it has. "

For: Choice: [B]:  

Note that replacing given word:  
  " it's " — with:  " it is " ; or:
             — with:  " it has "

           →  do not make sense.
_____
<u>Note</u>:  For the given information in:
             Answer Choice:  [B]:
_____
→  " The dog took it's {sic} bone and ran into the doghouse."
_____
First:  Let's replace the " it's" with: Both:" it is " ; <u><em>and:</em></u>  
                                                with:  " it has" .
_____
→   "{ The dog took <u>it is</u> bone and ran into the doghouse."}.
→   "{ The dog took <u>it has</u><u> </u>bone and ran into the doghouse."}.
_____
{<u>Note</u>: This does not only make sense within conversation—{nor, for that matter—in written from—but furthermore is not "grammatically correct"—{since inserting a "conjugated verb with a subject"}—such as:
 
→ " <u>it has</u>" ; or;
  → " <u>it is</u> " ;  [especially within an already written sentence with a clear "<u>subject or subject pronoun</u>"— along with a correspording "<u>predicate</u>."}.

_____
So, we can Rule out:  "Answer Choice:  [B]."

_______

Now:  Let's check:  Choice:  [C]:
_______
" The dog took its' bone and ran into the doghouse."

→  {<u>Note</u>: This answer choice is incorrect.}.  

<u>Note</u>:  We never use the "word" — its' {sic} —<u><em>under any circumstances</em></u>—even to denote a "possessive sense"—and NOT as a "contraction."
       → One does NOT use any:  {"contraction(s) / apostrophes"} ;

                         → even to denote a "{possessive sense."}.

To the contrary, in ^these situations:

       → We simply write the word as:  " <u>its</u> " .
_____
→  which explains why:  

→ <u> </u><u>Answer Choice:  [A]:</u> " The dog took its bone and ran into house."
               →  is the correct answer!
_____

{Personal note of advice:  For academic and formal writng:
  For:  "it is" ; or: "it has" ; always write the words.
And, on that note:   Also contractions should be written out.
For example: "can't" should be written as:  "cannot" (one word).
 The word:  "won't" ; should be:  "will not."
_______
<u>Put simply:</u>
 In formal or academic writing—avoid all contractions—[unless you are quoting a source that contains contractions.]/
  When trying to write:  " it is " ;  or, " it has " ;  <u>do not use:</u>  " it's " ;  just write the actual words.  When trying to write:  " its " —in a "possessive sense" — simply write:  "  its " .
_____

Do you agree or disagree with the author's opinion that video games lead to gambling problems later?
Alex

Answer:

I agree that in some cases that might be the case especi if the game is a gambling game however, I doubt that is the case with most main-line video games. Considering how most games aren’t about gambling and usually have discipline causing you to loose money. For example, in the Mario and Sonic games produced by NIntendo and Sega, if you run into an enemy, you will loose money. Similarly, in the Zelda games there are games you can play and win prizes for around 20 rupees, however these games are challenging and will sometimes scam you.
