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.

Suppose that a circular island has an area of 14.4 square miles. Approximate the radius of the island. Round your answer to the
Helen [10]

Answer:

r = 2.14 miles

Explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

Where,

π, pi = 3.14

r, radius = ?

Area = 14.4 square miles

Area of a circle = πr²

14.4 = 3.14 * r²

14.4 = 3.14r²

r² = 14.4/3.14

r² = 4.5859872611464

r = √4.5859872611464

r = 2.1414918307447

Approximately to the nearest hundredth of a mile

r = 2.14 miles

Watch this video of Endurance collapsing. Crew member Frank Hurley captured this footage. How do the tone and representation of
leonid [27]

Your answer should include some of these points:

The scope of the chapter is completely different from that of the video. The video is of a small segment of the expedition.

The video’s mood is gloomy because it shows the destruction of the ship Endurance. Although the memoir describes the three men facing extreme hardship, the mood is less dismal because the men follow their plan with determination.

The video is shot by crew member Frank Hurley, and the memoir is written by Shackleton. As the expedition’s leader, Shackleton’s level of involvement is much deeper than Hurley's.

The tone of the memoir is personal and the point of view is first person. The video is dramatic and evokes shock in the audience.

The memoir is a realistic but emotional description of the trek and evokes both sympathy and hope in readers. The video is realistic and documentary in style.
