Answer:

The best revision of the modifier in sentence 5 is to use bad instead of badly.

Explanation:

The adjective <em>bad </em>should be used instead of the adverb <em>badly</em> because <em>feel</em> is a copulative verb. A copulative verb shows no action, it links the subject to an adjective or to another noun. All the verbs denoting the five senses are linking verbs: taste, look, sound, feel, and smell. Therefore, the revised version of the sentence would be as follows: She felt bad that someone had lost such a nice watch.

 The best revision of the modifier "badly" in the sentence 5 is "bad" : She felt <em>bad</em> that someone had lost such a nice watch. The word badly is an <em>adverb</em>, the word that modifies other words and verbs: <em>badly made furniture ; she was treated very badly. </em>In this sentence (modified)<em>, </em>the word<em> bad  </em>is an<em> adjective </em>that follows a <em>linking verb</em> "<em>felt."</em>

diamong [38]

Answer:

Leadership comes in all form

Explanation:

In the passage, Boadicea is depicted as a brave leader who motivates her army to be brave and fearless. She is dedicated not to surrender and lose the battle. Even though she is in advantage, she does not stop, she continues to motivate her army and not to give up on her goal and intentions.

At this time of war, Rome condemns and restricts women from their rights.  She is a wise leader and she replies to Roman's proposal to emphasize the British fight for liberty.  Her role is quite important because she proves all prejudice discrimination. She is a strong woman who led her army to victory.

How does the lack of information available about Shakespeare influence people’s opinions about his authorship?
olganol [36]

The lack of information about Shakespeare presents questions of credibility and reliability. People may believe that Shakespeare was a front to hide the identity of the real author/authors, and that Shakespeare did not write plays credited to him rather than another discredited author.
