Answer:

The correct answer is D. Clear.

Explanation:

If you put a preposition at the end of a sentence, it makes it less formal and it is not entirely grammatically correct. You should avoid placing prepositions at the end of sentences if you are trying to sound more formal or educated.

However, prepositions at the end of a sentence make it less awkward and more clear to understand - take a look at these examples:

  1. With whom are you going? - preposition at the beginning of the sentence, makes it sound very formal and slightly awkward, but grammatically correct.
  2. Who are you going with? - preposition at the end of the sentence, makes it sound informal and clear, but grammatically incorrect.

<span> The reason that protecting our information is important is so that people can be sure about who really sent them information. The evidence is a hypothetical situation about how a criminal could steal money by pretending to be someone else if encryption wasn't possible. The reason and evidence logically support the claim because they show one way that the Information Age would not be successful – people could easily steal money – if information is not protected. </span>

natima [27]

Answer:

Dorothy Parker's "Agreement in Black and White" shows an illustration, or rather a metaphor of how skin color is a barrier to social progress among Caucasian and Black individuals.  In this writing she is strong and powerful standing up to all those who opposed the civil rights movement. But in her responses in her interview form Paris Review she saw herself as a girl among giants and had a lot of self-doubt. She called her poems “silly verses,” cringed when people called her a “humorist,” and considered her work a failure because she wanted to be known for her satire.
