Reflect and Respond Comparison to Today Consider the barbaric punishment that Hester Prynne faces for her sin. By today’s standa

rds, this punishment seems fairly harsh. However, there are places in this world that still practice much harsher punishments than this.

Do you think the concepts behind both Hester Prynne’s punishment and the concept of honor killings are the same? How are both punishments unfair? Explain in 3–5 sentences.

Answer:

I wonder if you could disagree. Say the punishment of wearing the scarlet letter is much less barbaric than the stoning that she might have suffered under mosaic law.

Explanation: Adultery destroys the love and trust that form the basis for a happy marriage. It causes the breakdown of families. In previous centuries, stable marriages and families were the basis for communities and civil society. Anyone who caused disruption undermined the common good. The punishment served as a deterrent.

In today's culture of pleasure-seeking and lack of commitment to long-term marriage, it may seem harsh to punish someone for "doing what comes naturally." But look at the consequences. Single parents who can hardly support themselves and their kids. Kids constantly in visitation switches between parents. Unplanned pregnancies and abortions. If adultry were less tolerated, family and community life would be more stable.

Only when each of the committee members ____ reading the instructions then can you ____ them to the hall.

The option through which the subject and verb agree are "finish/take"

A verb is one of the parts of speech in English language and it can be defined as any word that describes an action, occurrence, or state of existence. Thus, a verb is an action or doing word.

Some examples of a verb are dance, sing, walk, play, run, sit,  clap, cheer, read, etc.

A subject can be defined as the person, thing, idea or place that performs an action in a sentence.

On a related note, a subject-verb agreement is a situation in which there exist a relationship between the predicate and subject of a sentence.

This ultimately implies that, a subject and a verb must agree either in terms of number or tense usage.

In this context, the most appropriate verb to use in completing the sentence is finish (present tense) because its subject (crowd) is singular (each of the committee members). Also, the latter part of the sentence should be completed using the verb take (present tense).  

<em>In conclusion, the subject and verb in this scenario agrees when finish and take are used respectively.</em>
