First of all, you need to understand what antecedents and pronouns are, and what the relationship between the two is. A pronoun is a word used to replace the noun in front of it. An antecedent is that particular noun in front of the pronoun, to which the pronoun refers. Thus, here are my answers:

<span>10. William asked for his coffee to be brought to the conference room. 
The pronoun here is the word HIS, and given that it refers to William (it is William's coffee after all), it means that the antecedent here is WILLIAM

</span><span>11. The music was so loud that it hurt our ears. 
The pronoun here is the word OUR, however, there is no antecedent in this sentence; it is implied that the antecedent is WE (however it is not stated directly in the sentence itself)

</span><span>12. Thomas and Christine forgot to bring their umbrellas to work. 
The pronoun here is the word THEIR, and given that it refers to Thomas and Christine (those are their umbrellas after all), it means that the antecedents here are THOMAS AND CHRISTINE

</span><span>13. Since Grandma Helen was ten years old, she had been writing letters. 
The pronoun here is the word SHE, and given that this particular pronoun was used to replace the noun Grandma Helen, it means that the antecedent is GRANDMA HELEN

</span><span>14. The rain pounded on the roof and it leaked through the cracks. 
Here, the pronoun is the word IT, and given that it refers to the rain (it was used to replace the word rain in the latter part of the sentence), it means that the antecedent is RAIN

</span><span>15. His messenger bag was so full that Randy could not fit another file in it. 
Although there are two pronouns here (his and it), we cannot choose his as the correct answer as it does not have an antecedent (remember that antecedents are in front of the pronoun, and here Randy is located after it). This means that the pronoun we will use is IT, and its antecedent is HIS MESSENGER BAG

</span>16. Mr. Cooper told his students that they were responsible for their grades.There are couple of answers here, given that there are a couple of pronouns to choose from. The first pronoun and its antecedent are HIS (pronoun) and MR. COOPER (its antecedent). Then we have the pronouns THEY and THEIR along with their antecedent HIS STUDENTS.

Answer:

Research related to the popular use of social media in Egypt.

A statistic supporting the claim that social media use in Egypt is not widespread.

Widespread testimony about how social media use has changed in Egypt.

Explanation:

These are the three options that explain the types of evidence that the authors used in this excerpt.

First, the authors talk about the popular use of social media in Egypt when they argue that the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project has looked at this information.

Second, the authors employ a statistic that supports the fact that social media is not widespread when they say that 65% of people do not use the Internet.

Finally, the authors use widespread testimony when they argue that most people who are online use social media to learn about the political situation in their country.

However, the authors never talk about how social media changed after the Arab Spring.

Compare and contrast the literary techniques of allegory and ambiguity by offering a scenario to explain an instance where each
larisa86 [58]
An allegory is a literary technique that is somewhat like an extended metaphor and the goal of an allegory is to present a complex social problem by figurative meaning in order to grasp the full extent of the problem. A famous example of this can be the allegory of the cave as created by Plato where the idea of understanding the true nature of world is presented through people sitting in a dark cave. When they leave the cave, they are blinded by the sun but eventually they learn to see the world properly. He used this allegory because he believed that common people who don't work on themselves and only take things without thinking about them is similar to sitting in a dark cave and that illumination can be difficult but ultimately achieved.

Ambiguity is a literary technique that is used in order to present a plethora of different meanings without any meaning being the true one. It is great for trying to better explain issues that are not clearly presented as black and white. An example of this might be a debate on ethics and the nature of morality. Ambiguity can be used here because it is highly difficult to precisely and in a normative way to present what is good and what is bad and to describe why anything might be or might not be good or bad.

The answer choices describe articles that have the same subject matter as the passage. Which one has the same subject matter and
Yuki888 [10]

<u>Answer</u>:

Reading the excerpt from Tracy Wilson’s “Acquiring a Driver's License in Alabama,” the line that has the same subject matter and the same purpose is a newspaper article describing the steps to obtaining your Alabama Driver's License. Thus, the correct answer is <u>Option A. </u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

The entire excerpt talks in details about how one can get a driver license in Alabama. It basically, lists out the steps to get this license. The purpose of this passage is only to provide information that’s why its tone is neutral and addresses the common topic with “it.”

The main idea is summarised in the line which states that a person for obtaining a driving license needs to pass a written and a road test with not less than 75%.
