A LOS QUE NO TIENEN CONVICCIONES SON FACILES DE MANIPULAR
The author supports her argument by giving factual details about college acceptance rates (C).
She refers to a specific study conducted by a credible organization (NACAC) and published by one of the most widely circulated newspapers in the United States, <em>USA Today</em>. What's more, the survey she cites provides statistical data about postsecondary school acceptance rates, which gives a concrete, numerical value to her argument.
Answer:
and thirsty for its scant rain
Explanation:
The adjective <em>scant </em>implies that something is barely sufficient or enough, so from November to April it scarcely rains or snows, and the country is desirous for rainfall.
The rest of the options are incorrect because the sentences do not follow a parallel structure. Thus, it is more suitable to place an adjective like <em>thirsty </em>after the adjectives <em>chill </em>and <em>quiet </em>to describe the season.
The misplaced modifier in this sentence is D. filled with an assortment of cakes.
This is because, the way this sentence is written and due to the location of this modifier, it would seem that Josephine was filled with an assortment of cakes, and not the glass display case. This modifier needs to be moved in order for the sentence to be correct.
