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!

Answer:

Two different authors. One is an essay and one is a poem.But both of them  describe nature as the most amazing and beautiful thing that they have ever seen. They saw how wonderful and amazing life is. It's obvious that they have a connection with plants, air, clouds, and trees.  

William Wordsworth uses poetry  and Nate Muir uses prose, but they both use similar methods describe different things in nature and to communicate to the way nature makes them feel to their audience. They both paint a picture with words.

The writers of "Calypso Borealis", and “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” are similar not just through the diction, vocabulary, but also through the impact of the mood, and tone, while both of the writers express their relationship in different ways there is still the impact on the audience.

What does the writer imply in this line from the excerpt?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The writer is implying that politicians are shameless people who would do anything for their own gain.

Explanation:

Charles Farrar Browne was an American humorist writer and a comedian who is more better known by his pen name Artemus Ward. His book "Interview With Lincoln" is a satirical or humorous representation of the real world as he sees it.

The passage from the question is from the text where he seems to suggest that the "owner" of the place was a generous place. But with politicians, there can be no honor or full trust. The use of the word "hog-pen" suggests that he is ready to accommodate anyone who's willing to be on his side. After his whole place had been filled, he still wants people to be with him even though there seems to be no space left. Thus, these lines seems to imply that the politicians will do anything if it's going to give them some profit out of the situation. It shows their shamelessness.
