Answer:

refining the term.

Explanation:

In the 17th chapter of "Of the Wisdom of the Ancients", Bacon discusses love, it's reason for being and where it comes from. You can understand the theme when you read the name of the chapter: "Cupid or Atom". Francis Bacon is actually refining the definition of love considering the things that he knows based on the most recent discoveries of his time.

aev [14]

Answer:

A "The spring of 1998 was the Halley’s Comet of desert wildflower years." (lines 1–2)

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from Barbara Kingsolver's scientific essey "Called Out". It describes events in the spring of 1998 and gives insight on magnificent and complex life cycle of desert plants.

The given sentence provides description of the highway medians suggesting that there were unusually many flowers, rarely seen before.

That provides evidence to answer A. which claims that that spring was the Halley's Comet of desert wildflower years. Halley's Comet is a rare phenomenon that happens only once every 76 years, so by making this comparison, the author claims that what happened that spring was a true botanical rarity.

What is the error? THERE'S NOW SEVEN NEW FLAVORS!
Arte-miy333 [17]
The error is in italics and bolded for you:
<em>THERE'S</em> NOW SEVEN NEW FLAVORS!

The correct way to write the sentence should be like this:
<em>THERE ARE</em> NOW SEVEN NEW FLAVORS!


The reason it is <em>There are </em>and not <em>there's(there is)</em>, is because you are talking about the new flavors being in the present tense form. Like... it's hard to explain, I guess...


Hope this helps!!!!
