Usually, when you talk to your friends, you don't follow every grammar rule in the book. This is why spoken English is far more informal and flexible, giving room to slang. In the same way, with the exception of the first example, all the other sentences follow conventional Standard English grammatical rules. Only the first sentence shows a more conversational syntax (word order) being used. Therefore, the best answer is A.

On that note, we could infer that the first example sounds like how British speak, as they are known for their frequent use of tag questions.

How is the "inborn talents" model similar to and different from the "new picture"?
katrin2010 [14]

Similarities and difference between "inborn talents" from the "new picture" is given below.

Explanation:

“In the past, leadership scholars considered charisma, intelligence and other personality traits to be the key to effective leadership. Accordingly, these academics thought that good leaders use their inborn talents to dominate followers and tell them what to do, with the goal either of injecting them with enthusiasm and willpower that they would otherwise lack or of enforcing compliance.

“In recent years, however, a new picture of leadership has emerged, one that better accounts for leadership performance. In this alternative view, effective leaders must work to understand the values and opinions of their followers—rather than assuming absolute authority—to enable a productive dialogue with followers about what the group embodies and stands for and thus how it should act. By leadership, we mean the ability to shape what followers actually want to do, not the act of enforcing compliance using rewards and punishments.

Leadership effectiveness is the product of individual ability to be the architect of culture, to understand the values and attitudes of followers (who may be colleagues as well as direct reports), and to inspire the contributions, cooperation and mutual support of the people around the would-be leader.

According to this new approach, no fixed set of personality traits can assure good leadership because the most desirable traits depend on the nature of the group being led and the context at hand.

A bee keeper. I would choose to be a bee keeper because the bee would already be familiar with the bees since it is around them often, second the bee would quickly become familiar with the habitat, since other bees are kept there.

Emily wants to go swimming.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

If it were warmer outside, Emily would go swimming.

Explanation:

Were is the present subjunctive third person singular form of the verb to be. Although the subjunctive mood is not used as much in modern English as it was in the past, examples can still be found where it is utilized.

The subjunctive mood is used to express wishes or desires that do not reflect the current state of things and instead transmit an alternative possibility or condition.
