Lise Marie J. de Baissac came from a French family. She was born in Mauritius and had British nationality. She was the superstar of the Special Operations Team at the time of WW-II. She was a dignified agent who, multiple times, risked her life in order to work in national spy operations. After the war seized, she was received numbers of gallantry prizes.

However, the reason after every option for its acceptance or nonacceptance as the answer is mentioned beneath each point. Anyhow, the correct answer is darkened.

A. "When she ... lived there."

This line only defines a specific detail about how the special agent survived through a fake name as a spy. No theme is described through this sentence.

B. "Baissac’s goal ... resistance groups."

This statement the agent’s motive and the way she enacted the task provided. Still, the complete idea is not expressed within the line.  

C. "Baissac did ... her tasks."

The writer is praising the efforts of Baissac in this sentence. He again writes how much hard work the agent did in order to achieve the national goals.

D. "As a ... German troops."

This is the statement that definitely defines the central idea of the excerpt. When we break this line into sections, we can see that it illustrates that she performed multiple essential tasks when appointed in Normandy. The phrase “sometimes dangerous tasks” describes the critical nature of the job she handled in there. And, also the opposition (German troops) is clearly mentioned in this sentence which helps to convey the idea very clearly.

The answer is D. As a spy in Normandy, Baissac performed a variety of important and sometimes dangerous task in order to get in the way of German troops.

Because thats basically what there saying in the paragraph or short excerpt There explaining that she did alot of dangerous things just to get in the way of German troops (as a spy)

hope this helps.

Writing objectively can be a difficult skill to master, especially when you are writing about
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Vegetarianism is, in general, the practice of living on a diet that does not include meat and even other animal products. There are, however, different kinds of vegetarian diets. Some may include eggs, for instance, while others may exclude eggs but include milk.

Explanation:

<u>Writing objectively means writing in an unbiased, impartial manner. The writer avoids manifesting his own opinion and ideas on the subject. If you read the answer above, you will see the sentences are all impartial. They contain only facts about vegetarianism, but no opinions about it are voiced. Therefore, they are examples of objective writing.</u> Compare them with the example below, which is written subjectively:

- Vegetarianism is too hard. I don't think I would last a week as a vegetarian.

See the difference? The subjective sentence above expresses a personal opinion.

Some simple steps in changing direct speech to indirect speech are:

  • Remove all inverted commas or quotation marks.
  • Finish the sentence with a period.
  • Change the verbs in the inverted commas to the corresponding tense.
