Add or remove apostrophes where appropriate. There are 4 errors to be corrected.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

It would be hard to find a European city that has a worse reputation than Bartovia's, with crime, rubbish, graffiti and dereliction featuring in every description over the last 60 years. With unemployment running at 11% and the city government essentially bankrupt, there are few bright spots in Bartovia's future. One of the few, however, is a new venture run by Sergio Leone, who has returned to the city of his birth to try and make the impossible a reality. Along with tanning (the process of treating animal skins to produce leather), dyeing has a long and glorious history in Bartovia. The difference today, though, is that Sergio Leone's mission is to bring to a centuries-old tradition the very latest bleeding-edge technology.

If I bolded and underlined the word, it means I either added one or took it out. I added 3 and took out 1. Skins is the one I took out, the rest I put in.

Let me Know I I am right. :)

Which details best reveal the setting of the passage? Select two options. "By the waters of Babylon"

Serggg [28]

Answer:

1. "It is a great Dead Place—greater than any Dead Place we know."

2. "Everywhere there are the ruins of the high towers of the gods."

Explanation:

Background or setting is the time and place of a tale, whether it be reality or fiction. As a literary element, it's a must. The location establishes the story's major backdrop and tone.

Passage:

It is not true what some of the tales say, that the ground there burns forever, for I have been there. Here and there were the marks and stains of the Great Burning, on the ruins, that is true. But they were old marks and old stains. It is not true either, what some of our priests say, that it is an island covered with fogs and enchantments. It is not. It is a great Dead Place—greater than any Dead Place we know. Everywhere in it there are god-roads, though most are cracked and broken. Everywhere there are the ruins of the high towers of the gods.
