The correct answer is A. My cat likes sleeping in the window and my dog likes sleeping on me.

Explanation:

In writing, the punctuation refers to the use of comma (,), period (.), semicolon (;), colon (:) and others used to separate different element withing a sentence according to strict grammar rules. In the case of the sentence "My cat likes sleeping in the window and my dog likes sleeping on me" this is a compound sentence that integrates two main ideas, the first one is "My cat likes sleeping in the window" and the second one is "my dog likes sleeping on me" and in this case besides using the conjunction "and" to separate both a punctuation mark and more specifically a comma is required as "My cat likes sleeping in the window, and my dog likes sleeping on me". On the other hand, other sentences presented are simples sentences and do not require any punctuation. Therefore it is the first sentence the one that is missing a punctuation mark.

The option through which the subject and verb agree are "finish/take"

A verb is one of the parts of speech in English language and it can be defined as any word that describes an action, occurrence, or state of existence. Thus, a verb is an action or doing word.

Some examples of a verb are dance, sing, walk, play, run, sit, clap, cheer, read, etc.

A subject can be defined as the person, thing, idea or place that performs an action in a sentence.

On a related note, a subject-verb agreement is a situation in which there exist a relationship between the predicate and subject of a sentence.

This ultimately implies that, a subject and a verb must agree either in terms of number or tense usage.

In this context, the most appropriate verb to use in completing the sentence is finish (present tense) because its subject (crowd) is singular (each of the committee members). Also, the latter part of the sentence should be completed using the verb take (present tense).

In conclusion, the subject and verb in this scenario agrees when finish and take are used respectively.

Desolation is understood as the feeling of sinking or emptiness caused by great anguish, pain or sadness. It is also understood as the ruin and complete destruction of a building, a territory, etc., so that nothing remains standing.

So the correct options would be ´´ but the towers themselves look blind´´ and ´´ shattered images of a man or a god ´´

Look at the poster.

Sergio [31]

The correct options are "A simple solution to a problem" and "Fear over a possible outcome".

This is a poster that was released by the United Kingdom's Royal Navy during World War II. It shows the image of a factory worker taking a break to smoke as we see the ships and destroyers in the background, while the ominous clock keeps on ticking.

The intentions and message are very clear: if the workers waste time, the production rate of ships and destroyers will decrease; if that happens, the war will continue and it will take longer to win. The poster is trying to push forward a simple solution (factory workers not taking breaks in order to win the war fast) to a much more complicated problem, as actually winning the war will require a lot more than that. In addition, the message and presentation use the fear brought by war to push workers to their limits in a rather cruel manner.

Hope this helps!

Marcy is running for student body president. Which sentence in this excerpt from her campaign speech uses parallel structure? Hi

Kryger [21]

Four sentences in this excerpt in which Marcy uses parallel structure are:

"I think I will make a good president because I am honest, trustworthy, and I'm behaving responsibly"

"I will set a good example for the school."

"I will take your suggestions into consideration and try to implement as many as possible."

"I will convince the school board to install vending machines with healthier snacks in the school cafeteria and ensuring that they review the cafeteria lunch menu to include healthier meal options."

A parallel structure is when you write a sentence using the same exact pattern of words to make the audience aware that you mean what you are saying. For instance, in Martin Luther King's speech "I Have A Dream," he uses parallel structure in it to show that he's done with racial segregation that was occurring around that time:

"Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."

As you see here, Martin Luther King Jr. was using parallel structure here, and so was Marcy during her campaign speech. Hopefully, this helps.
