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!

How does Washington Irving’s use of the third-person omniscient narrator in "Rip Van Winkle" affect the meaning and development
Tomtit [17]

Use of third person omniscient narrator allows the author to give the reader the private and intimate details about Tom's life and character.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In "The devil and Tom Walker", Washington Irving makes use of third person narrative. With the use of this, he makes the readers know about the private and intimate details about the life of Tom and his character.

For example he describes the unhappy marriage : her voice was often heard in wordy warfare with her husband; and his face showed that their conflicts were not simply confined to words. If it was told in the first person point of view, it would have told intimate but inaccurate details about Tom which would have been biased.

The best answer for this question would be:

 

The French noblemen were insensitive to the stresses that the poorer class underwent during and after the war.

 

<span>Based on the excerpt, we can see how the transition from the war had changed the economic issues of the country. The poor became poorer during these times, which is the cause of lack of stability.</span>
