Answer: C. And to offset his good looks, the H-G men required that he wear at all times a red rubber ball for a nose, keep his eyebrows shaved off.

A dystopia is a society that is undesirable or frightening. It is the opposite of utopia. This short story by Kurt Vonnegut is an example of a dystopia, as the characters live through social events that are undesirable. The answer illustrates that in this distopia, people are required to offset their good looks (in this case, by wearing a rubber nose and keeping the eyebrows shaved off).

The correct answer is D. Pronunciation

Explanation:

In grammar a variation refers to a change in the word by adding elements to it or omitting them, this means a word shares common features with other including a similar combination of letters and pronunciation but might differ slightly in meaning. In this way, if a word is a variation of other it usually belongs to the same word family which means they share a common origin and base. To determine whether a word is the variation of another it is necessary to consider whether these words are written or pronoun similarly and whether their meaning is connected. Considering this the word "Pronunciation" is a variation of the word "Pronounce" as both are written similarly sharing the first letters and have a similar meaning as pronounce means to say a word and pronunciation means the correct way of saying the words in a language. These common features show both words are connected and therefore one is the variation of the other.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier? The dog catcher said he would return our dog on Saturday. My uncle served steaks o

Alinara [238K]

Let us first define the meaning of misplaced modifier; it is a word, clause, or phrase that is improperly placed in a sentence which make it refer or modify an unintended word.
The first, second, and third sentences that are given above sound correct because their modifiers are placed just right. Only the fourth sentence sounded awkwardly and confusing, because the clause "who lives in New York" is improperly separated from the subject "My aunt", which must be described in the first place, and not the "holidays".

The sentence will sound and can be understood better if it is written this way,

"My aunt, who lives in New York, is coming home for the holidays."

Dominik [7]

Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English Version.

[Gilgamesh and Enkidu] charged at Humbaba like two wild bulls.

The monster let out a deafening cry,

his roar boomed forth like a blast of thunder,

he stamped and the ground burst open, his steps

split the mountains of Lebanon,

the clouds turned black, a sulfurous fog

descended on them and made their eyes ache.

Then Shamash threw strong winds at Humbaba,

the south wind, the north wind, the east and the west,

storm wind, gale wind, hurricane, tornado,

to pin him down and paralyze his steps.

He could not move forward, could not retreat.

Gilgamesh saw it, he leaped upon him,

he held a knife to Humbaba's throat.

What characteristics of an epic hero does Gilgamesh exhibit in the excerpt? Check all that apply.

compassion for his enemy

courage in battle

endurance in travel

connection to supernatural help

humility in defeat
