English

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.

What is the denotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt? lines that are drawn when placing blame areas of defense in times
Sauron [17]
Well, denotative meaning refers to the literal meaning of a word. So, I guess the correct answer would be <span><u>long cracks in the surface of the earth</u>, because that is the definition of the word fault lines. The other options are too metaphorical, and would thus be considered to be a connotative, rather than denotative meaning.</span>

Answer:

Arranged from the most reliable to least reliable

1: An article in a business journal  about the rise of pet-friendly  businesses

2: An article by the Centers for  Disease Control (CDC) about  hygiene in pet-friendly  businesses

3: A website owned by a business  that sells pet products

4: A personal blog detailing an  experience at a pet-friendly  café

Explanation:

1: An article in a business journal has thoroughly researched content written by experts in that specific business.

2: An article by Centers for  Disease Control (CDC) is also reliable and will provide useful information about possible diseases and their precautions/treatments.

3: A website owned by a business that sells pet products, although not much reliable, will provide insights into different products. It is less reliable as business websites usually exaggeratedly portray many things.

4: A personal blog could be least helpful as they are mostly written from SEO (Search Engine Optimization) point of view to increase web-traffic, and may contain limited help in a specific case.

It is a farse because there is all of these funny things going on but at the same time there are other things that make it serious. Also the play, A Midsummer night's dream is a comedy, so it would be comic relief

How does the following lines contrast the point of view Of the batter and pitcher on the deciding pitch?
Sergio039 [100]

They show that the batter doesn't overthink the situation, but the pitcher is being picky.

In the Batter's line he says that he just reacts in the moment. This shows that he does not spend a lot of time thinking about the situation. It also shows that he may not be smarter about the situation. It doesn't show the batter is not prepared or that he knows how important it is. The pitcher doesn't think the call to throw a slider is a good choice so he shakes it off. His exclamation that none of the pitches will work shows his frustration over the choices. He is being picky and can't seem to agree on the type of pitch to throw.
