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!

Sidana [21]

Answer:

"cleverly" and "is an expert"

Explanation:

"Subjective expressions" are <em>words, phrases or even sentences that makes a statement biased.</em> It is a person's personal thought about an event, a situation, another person and so on.

In the sentence above, the words "cleverly" and "is an expert" are both subjective expressions. The reader doesn't know what it means to "cleverly allude." The writer's way of cleverly alluding might be different from the reader. So, it goes the same way with the phrase, "is an expert." The writer personally thinks that King is expressing himself to be an expert. It is only a personal opinion and not a fact.

Both of the expressions are just according to the writer's feelings and thoughts.

After reading the assigned text, what did you learn are some of the most important ideas in stories from Iceland? Are Icelandic
koban [17]

Answer:

I am not familiar with many Icelandic folk tales, so obviously these are unfamiliar to me. When I researched some Icelandic folk tales, I realized that most of them have either trolls or elves in them. This is very interesting, and I wanted to know more about why this was, so I looked it up. It seems that there are so many trolls and elves in the folk tales because they are deeply rooted in the culture of Iceland. Maybe some folk stories from around here have elves or trolls in them, but certainly not as much as the Icelandic ones. I also wonder I there are some Icelandic folk stories that do not have these common themes in them, Though there probably are. Because we can see a pattern in Icelandic folk tales, I wonder if there is a noticeable pattern in folk stories from around here, but I'll research that later.
