1 answer:

3 0

The correct answer is <span>C. feared powerful political groups but believed that individual men can be reasonable and responsible.
Swift was against various political organizations because he believed they were corrupted and they tried to corrupt individuals as well. He believed that people themselves weren't bad, it's just when given power and a chance to control others, they would eventually turn corrupt. His thought was that individuals could also be powerful, whilst retaining their senses, which he did not think was possible in groups.

Which sentence contains an intensive pronoun? A) Tanya always talks to herself. B) If you cannot help, I will do it myself. C) T

dezoksy [38]

To best answer this question, we must first clarify what an intensive pronoun is.

Intensive pronouns are reflexive pronoun used to add emphasis to a sentence. As a result, an intensive pronoun is not necessary to the meaning of the sentence. Intensive pronouns are the same as reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.

Every sentence given above contains reflexive pronouns, but not all of them are intensive pronouns.

In the first sentence, "herself" is a reflexive pronoun. However, it IS essential to the meaning of the sentence. Talking to herself is different than talking to others. Therefore, sentence A. does NOT contain an intensive pronoun.

In the second sentence, "myself" is NOT essential to the meaning of the sentence. If the word "myself' were eliminated from the sentence, the meaning of the sentence would remain the same. There, sentence B. does contain an intensive pronoun.

In the third sentence, the word "themselves" is essential to the meaning of the sentence. If the word "themselves" were eliminated, the meaning of the sentence would not remain the same, because we need to know they went alone (as opposed to going with their parents). As a result, sentence C. does NOT contain an intensive pronoun.

Finally, in the fourth sentence, the word "himself" is necessary to the sentence so that the reader knows just WHO Andy is looking at in the mirror. If this pronoun were removed, the meaning of the sentence would change. As a result, sentence D. does NOT contain an intensive pronoun.

Therefore, the sentence that contains an intensive pronoun is B.

Answer:

When Johnny turned fifteen, he inexplicably began an internecine war with his parents. The Smiths asked Johnny how he was able to afford his new laptop computer, and Johnny gave them an apocryphal story about how it had fallen from the back of a truck. Enraged, they confiscated the computer and ordered Johnny to sit and listen.

“When your luck runs out and you end up in prison, it will estrange you from your family and friends, and it will limit your options for the future! Your grades are already suffering, and if you make a criminal record for yourself, you’ll end up having a servile job with long hours and lousy pay while your successful friends enjoy sybaritic lifestyles by comparison.

Select the correct answer. Lyra and Donna are testing the two-way radios they built for their high school science project. Lyra

klio [65]

Answer:

yra is 22 meters above the entrance.

The radios work until Donna is 50 meters away from the entrance.

At that moment, Lyra, Donna, and the entrance form a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is the actual distance between Lyra and Donna.

Distance = √ (22² + 50²)

= √ (484 m² + 2,500 m²)

= √ (2984 m²)

= 54.63 meters.

Rounded to the nearest meter, Distance = 55 meters.

THAT's the maximum point-to-point range of the radios
