The correct answers are B and D.

In "Nectar in a Sieve," Nathan is Rukmani's husband. Through the story he is depicted as a good husband, who adores his wife, and a man of the earth. He identifies with the sustaining and replenishing earth, and feels disappointed when his sons don't want to have a farmer's life.

Nathan is a relatively uncomplicated character and does not suffer any major change throughout the story, which makes him a flat and static character.

Read the essay "Love Thy Garden." Then rewrite the essay to improve the flow between sentences as well as between the paragraphs

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Love Thy Garden

Most of us associate gardening with our grandparents, with people recovering from an illness, or with older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes. Of course, it is not something young people do, right? However, an increasing number of young adults and kids are getting into small-scale farming or gardening. This happens because schools across the country have initiated programs that involve working not only in gardens but also in small community farms. For example, The Edible Schoolyard Project, which was created in 2005 by Alice waters, makes farming fun for young people. In the beginning, Alice wanted to transform a vacant lot into an edible kitchen in her neighborhood school. After 2005, the project blossomed into a nationwide campaign to involve kids in the food-growing and production process. The program lets school kids of varying ages grow their fruits and vegetables. Then, it teaches them interesting and simple recipes. Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food? First, they plant the seed. Then, they watch the plant grow as they take care of it. Finally, they pick the fruits and eat them. Besides, farming has other benefits: it relieves stress and it helps kids stay fit and connect with the community. Gardening or farming can also be fun for adults and teenagers. Thus, people of all ages can enjoy it.

Explanation

Grandparents: unification of the concept grandpas and grandmas to get a shorter sentence.
Sentence 1: Since the first three sentences are closely related, the text flows better by linking them. The repetition of the preposition "with" gives the text a poetical aspect.
people recovering from an illness/with older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes: omission of the expressions "who are"/"We have seen" to make the sentence shorter.
Of course: to emphasize the claim.
Young people instead of younger because there is not a comparison between two elements in the same sentence.
It is not instead of it isn´t since it should be formal as it may be an academic text.
However: connector to show an opposition between two ideas.
This happens because: phrase to link the cause and the effect.
not only in gardens but also in small community farms: not only but also to show addition.
For example: to introduce an instance of the previous idea.
, which was created in 2005 by Alice waters, : use of a relative clause to characterize the previous pronoun.
In the beginning/ After 2005: connectors to show the before and after of the project.
neighborhood school instead of a school in her neighborhood to make the sentence less complex.
The omission of "own" because it is redundant.
Then: connector of time to show that the idea follows the food-growing process.
as: to show simoultaneous ideas
Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food?: use of a question to invite the reader to think and make him/her feel part of the text.
First/then/finally: connectors to show the chronological order of processes.
Besides: to add a new idea
use of colon: to introduce a list of equal elements
also: to show the idea of addition, inclusion
Thus: connector to show a consequence of the previous statement

1: An article in a business journal about the rise of pet-friendly businesses

2: An article by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) about hygiene in pet-friendly businesses

3: A website owned by a business that sells pet products

4: A personal blog detailing an experience at a pet-friendly café

Explanation:

2: An article by Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is also reliable and will provide useful information about possible diseases and their precautions/treatments.

3: A website owned by a business that sells pet products, although not much reliable, will provide insights into different products. It is less reliable as business websites usually exaggeratedly portray many things.

4: A personal blog could be least helpful as they are mostly written from SEO (Search Engine Optimization) point of view to increase web-traffic, and may contain limited help in a specific case.
