This question is incomplete, since it is missing the sentence we are supposed to analyze. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

"To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting." Which does the sentence contain?

a) a conjunction

b) a gerund

c) an infinitive

d) a participle

Answer:

The sentence contains letter b) a gerund.

Explanation:

<u>Gerunds are formed by adding -ing to verbs, but they function like nouns in a sentence</u>.

In "To the best of our knowledge, he decided that his major would be acting," we have the verb "be" functioning as a linking verb, connecting the subject "major" to a word or words that provide information about that it. That word providing information on the subject is the gerund "acting", which therefore functions as a subject complement in this sentence.

Adjust the percentage of Chris investments to make his portfolio one with potential for high growth
Leni [432]

Answer:

Deducting some percentage of amount from savings and investing them in bonds will give higher rates.

Explanation:

It is believed that bond is better than savings. Stocks and bonds together are as good as mutual funds and saving accounts together. So, Chris should increase the investment in Stock and deduct that amount from mutual. Also, he can deduct some amount form savings and invest in bonds. This would give him higher interest rates.

In a nutshell, there is some amount in mutual and some amount in savings, which would be beneficial in case there is any loss in stock and bonds.

sedaris uses both understatement and hyperbole in this essay. Identify two examples of each and explain the effect
Korvikt [17]
The hyperbole “the size of tombstones”. The author uses the hyperbole to define the extent of Anna's teeth. It’s clear the character does not have teeth in her mouth as big as tombstones or else the character would not be eager to speak. The effect of wit is shaped through Sedaris's use of the hyperbole. Also, it makes an improved description of the scene so that the person who reads can make a better visual.   
The hyperbole "Every day spent with you is like having a cesarean section."The result is this is where David Sedaris for the primary time meanwhile being in France he could comprehend every word that anybody was saying.

In at least one hundred words, explain the basic structure of 1001 Nights.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

i hope these are hepful

Explanation:

It is a series of 1,000 poems, each of which tells a story. If you put together the first line of each of the poems, you get a final story, which is #1001, hence the title. Each of the poems was written by a different Persian poet in the 15th through 18th centuries and later translated into English. Most of them deal with legends from the Mongol Empire that were told by troubadours along the trade routes of Bucharest and Kamchatka

It is a group of stories which are interrupted by "Scherazade saw morning and discreetly fell silent"  The following night the story telling begins right after the interruption.  The interruptions are based on the length of the story and during some nights 2 or 3 short stories are told.  Some of these stories are organized into groups such as "Garden of verses". Many of the stories take place during the time of Haroun, Caliph of Bagdad. It is on 1001th night that all the stories have been told. .

Which sentence uses sarcasm to make a funny point?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<em>My car looks brand new with its rusted fender and dented doors.</em>

Explanation:

Sarcasm is when someone say something opposite to the actual scenario, to mock something just to make it funny in a delighted way of humor. <em>"My car is brand new"</em> is totally opposite to <em>"it's rusted fender and dented doors". </em>

Clearly his car is old, has rusted fender and dented doors which means  poorly managed, but he for the sake of laugh or to make it funny mentioned it a brand new car.
