Well the target audiences are very different, because at the political party the speaker is trying to persuade the audience to agree with him/her where as the target audience for the academic paper are trying to tech their audience on the topic, also the thesis is more clearly stated in the academic paper.
In Thomas Hardy's <em>Hap</em>, the speaker ponders about how it would be more bearable to think that all of his misfortunes happen because a greater power has decided so, than the <em>reality </em>(by his perspective) which is that his <em>bad luck </em>in life was a result of random chance and unfortunate coincidence.
Because of his ponderance, we could say that this poem shows a reflective speaker. While some people think that this shows a pessimist thinker, Hardy was known for his realistic vision of life.
Therefore, your best answer is reflective.
A subject-verb agreement error
occurs when the number (whether or not something is singular or plural) of the
subject does not “agree” with the number of the verb. For instance, if a subject is singular, the verb
should be singular as well, and this is known as “agreeing.” If the subject is singular, but the verb is
plural, then this is known as a subject-verb agreement error (or subject-verb
disagreement). Below, the agreement
errors have been corrected to the proper number and appear in bold.
"This new technology is for everyone and will revolutionize the lives of millions of ordinary commuters. Cheaper than concrete or tarmac but just as durable, the new cycling paths absorb light and re-emit it when they sense that it is required. They're one hundred percent environmentally-friendly. The inventor, however, is less forthcoming when our conversation turns to how the product actually works. Despite a barrage of questions, the only thing he will admit to is that the key to this techno-wonder is a combination of recycled tires (what else?) and a specially formulated light-emitting powder that charges during the day and glows at night."
I think it's D because you don't have to read every word in the text. you just have to understand what you know
