English

Anestetic [448]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Either you or Miguel is leading the group.

Explanation:

When using compound conjunctions - either... or and neither... nor - we tend to feel like using a plural verb, which may be incorrect. Most of the time, the right way to conjugate a verb in sentences with compound conjunctions is in the singular.

<u>Something else that can be confusing in the sentence we are analyzing here is the fact that "either" is followed by "you". As we know, the right verb form for "you" is "are". However, even in this case, we should go with the form "is" because "Miguel" is the closest noun to the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is</u>:

Either you or Miguel is leading the group.

Crank

Answer:

People for top positions in organization must have clear sense of right and wrong and courage and honesty to say the truth.

Explanation:

The main idea of a paragraph is one which the authors wants to prove with the help of examples, evidences, or by appealing to emotions, logic, or moral values. This idea is the backbone and purpose of the paragraph.

In this case, the authors is trying to persuade the readers of the importance of clarity of thought, courage and honesty to say the truth for people on top positions on an organization. He opines that these qualities are even more important than intelligence and substantive knowledge. The author has just named these qualities, he is yet to prove (mat be later) that why and how these qualities are more important than other qualities.

Romashka [77]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this email to thank you for awarding me the first place within your competition. I am humbly grateful to have been given such an opportunity. Let me express my sincerest gratitude for choosing my suggestion as the winner.  It is such an extraterrestrial feeling to come to visit the chocolate factory in Switzerland. This is so, as chocolate is my favourite snack and I have never been outside of my country of residence. I have been longing to visit Switzerland, thank you for making my dream come through. I look forward to visiting your factory soon. Additionally, I am seeking clarification and confirmation on two conditions within the prize which was granted.  

Firstly, I would like to be given clarification on the date of my departure, what travel arrangements were made for me and the accommodations of my tenor in Switzerland. Finally, it was made mention that I have the opportunity to bring a friend along with me. Could you please confirm if both travelling and accommodations would be free of charge for my friend also. I look forward to receiving a favourable response in a timely manner. Thank you in advance.    

Yours respectfully.

When I first started at Hidaya I hated wearing the hijab. I found it itchy and I absolutely despised wearing it during gym class
klasskru [66]
I would say the answer is D.
This is because of the way she talks about how she is uncomfortable with the hijab in the begging but releases that idea. Instead she goes into a more “I want to be as comfortable as those girls” idea and the story/excerpt tends to follow that idea until the end of it. Also the central ideas seem to be revealed at ends of stories for example she even states, “I was even a bit jealous” and “They looked so at peace with their identity and everybody got to know and respect them of their own terms.” Which implies she wants to have that sense of comfort in herself that she doesn’t have unlike the other girls.
Hope this helped!! :)
