nce, choose "No improvement was made." Original sentence: The dishes were piled on the table that needed washing. Revised sentence: The dishes that were piled on the table needed washing. The antecedent was repeated. The pronoun was placed nearer the antecedent. The sentence was rewritten. An intensive pronoun was inserted after the ambiguous pronoun. No improvement was made.

The original sentence used the pronoun in a wrong way - the way that sentence is written, it would seem that the table needed washing, and not the dishes. The revised sentence fixes this mistake by placing the pronoun nearer the antecedent.
An antecedent is a word or a phrase which is located in front of the pronoun (ante means before) and which that pronoun refers to. The pronoun here is 'that,' and its antecedent is 'the dishes.' So by moving the pronoun 'that' nearer the antecedent 'the dishes' we fixed the ambiguous sentence.

To persuade readers to eat greens for their health.

Explanation:

  • In this paragraph, the author is mentioning about the vitamins present in the green leafy vegetables. Addition to that, he is also mentioning about diseases like heart diseases and diabetes, which can be prevented by eating these vegetables.
  • So, this paragraph is not only informing about the vitamins in the leafy greens and dangerous diseases but giving an idea about the health benefits we will get from the green vegetables.
  • There is no place in this paragraph he entertains the readers, with his personal story about heart health.
  • Hence this author wrote this paragraph to persuade readers to eat greens for their health.

Compose a one-paragraph persuasive message board post about Grendel. Your post will respond to
Anna007 [38]

Writing from Grendel's point of view, makes him seem more monstrous and dangerous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Writing from Grendel's perspective makes him seem more monstrous. Even though we get to see the story from his perspective, he has a very narrow range of emotions. He is unable to relate to the actual humans in the book, showing that he is fundamentally different from them. Beowulf and the other warriors are typical humans, and Grendel is a one-dimensional monster.

The lack of common ground between these two kinds of characters makes the division between them very obvious. Therefore, it's difficult to find sympathy for Grendel as you would for another human.
