Answer:

D• path, paving

Explanation:

To find the unacceptable alternative, let’s first figure out the meaning of the original sentence. Two things happened: first the county cleared the path, and then the county paved it. So any answer choices that express this sequence of events would fit the sentence, and thus not be the "wrong" answer that we are looking for here. Answers A, B, and C all express the same idea in slightly different ways, creating perfectly grammatical phrases.

Now let’s see what happens when we plug in answer J. We get this weird sentence:

“The county cleared this path paved it with packed gravel…”

This is clearly a run-on sentence, so answer J is our odd man out.

Hope this helps!

<u>Answer:</u>

"Provisional drivers could each save up to £500 on their car insurance by undertaking advanced driving lessons," the government has confirmed. "We want people to go on improving their driving skills throughout their driving careers," said David Ashworth, a junior minister at the Department for Transport. "This is about creating the right sort of education and incentivising people to do it."

Explanation:

<u>Inverted commas are also known as quotation marks. Their purpose is to indicate which words or sentences inside that structure were spoken by someone. We place a pair of inverted commas at the beginning of that person's speech, and another one at the ending. If the speech is interrupted by the author's words, the inverted commas can simply be placed again once the speech is resumed.</u>

Which BEST shows how the author of Passage 1
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The city is portrayed as a challenge for Caroline to  either use its advantages to mature or to succumb  to its dangers.

Explanation:

Caroline Meeber (sister Carrie) is an eighteen year old lady who left her village in Wisconsin in search of a green pastures in Chicago. She was out to pursue her dream of wealth and fame.

The setting of passage 1 is a Chicago-bound train where Caroline, leaving home for the first time to stay with her sister, battles with her thoughts - how would life in the city be?

Nostalgic feelings of home are some quickly replaced with her expectations of city life - lights and sounds of a fast-paced city, moving cars, big houses and mansions, fame and affluence.

Even though Caroline was naive in thinking, her tastes and desires were certainly very high. She was also nervous and a bit fearful not knowing exactly what life in the city would offer her.
