(5 points) According to some sources, more than 60 percent of Americans currently own a dog. Dogs can be strong companions, but they also have needs that many people forget to address. Without proper hygiene, dogs can become matted and sick, just the same as any human being. Because of these reasons, it is essential that Americans begin to develop regular habits of dog washing and grooming.

Answers

Answer 1
"Without proper hygiene, dogs can become matted and sick, just the same as any human being." supports the author's claim that Americans need to begin to develop regular habits of dog washing and grooming.
Answer 2
I actually agree with the other person - I believe the correct answer is: Without proper hygiene, dogs can become matted and sick, just the same as any human being.
The author's claim is that Americans should start taking better care of their dogs, by washing and grooming them more regularly. The reason why they should do that is stated in the sentence I would choose as the correct answer.

which of the following contains a transitive verb

A.in honor of martin Luther king day, ant students volunteered in their communities.
B.the skater fell during the short program, but she continued despite the mistake.
C.athletes from both teams were jogging around the field for quite a while.
D.the actor accepted the role in the upcoming sequel to his block buster movie.

Answers

For a verb to be transitive, the action verb must be followed by a direct object. The direct object is the object or person who receives the action of the verb.

The sentence which contains a transitive verb is D) The actor accepted the role in the upcoming sequel to his block buster movie.

In this sentence, the noun, role, is receiving the action of being "accepted." The action verb here is accepted.

The sentence that contains a transitive verb is: D. the actor accepted the role in the upcoming sequel to his blockbuster movie.

A transitive verb is a verb that requires one or more objects. This type of verb leads to a clear action that affects something or someone, which is the object of the verb. In sentence D, 'accepted' is the transitive verb and 'the role' is its direct object, indicating what the actor accepted. In honor of Martin Luther King Day, ant students volunteered in their communities (sentence A) might be considered transitive as well, but it has a typo that leads to ambiguity - 'ant' should likely be 'many' which would make the verb 'volunteered' transitive. The other sentences contain intransitive verbs - 'fell' in sentence B and 'were jogging' in sentence C, as these verbs do not have objects that receive the action directly.

Ashley bought an expensive pair of jeans. Her friend got the same pair of jeans for almost $20 less. What tip could have helped Ashley? Use credit cards infrequently. Buy high-quality products. Think about what is most important. Look for bargains.

Answers

The correct answer is:  Look for bargains.

Answer:

Option D. the tip that could have helped Ashley with her purchase would be to look for bargains.

Explanation:

A bargain is defined at something bought or offered for sale at a lover value than its original or usual price. The most probable scenario in which Ashley's friend bought the same pair of jeans that Ashley bought, but for almost $20 less is that she found the jeans on sale, after looking for bargains. If Ashley would have looked for bargains or promotions before buying the pair of jeans, she probably could have saved money.


Read the excerpt from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death."

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate
Those that I guard I do not love;


What grammatical structure is repeated in this excerpt? Check all that apply.


the use of "somewhere," followed by an adverb


the use of an adverb to begin the lines


the use of "Those that I," followed by a verb


the use of a pronoun to end the lines


the use of "I do not," followed by a verb

Answers

The grammatical structures that are repeated in this excerpt are C: the use of "Those that  I," followed by a verb, and E: the use of "I do not," followed by a verb. In both sentences, the repetition helps to create a contrast between the people who are being hated and the people of are being loved, and there is also a contrast between the actions love and hate.

The correct answers are C. The use of "Those that I," followed by a verb and E. The use of "I do not," followed by a verb

Explanation:

A grammatical structure is the structural organization of different elements such as verbs, adjectives, adverbs or prepositions that create different grammatical formations, in the case of poetry and other literary works these formations are often repeated to create rhythm or emphasize an idea. In the excerpt presented from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" the repetition of grammatical structures occur in two main cases, the first one is the repetition of the phrase "Those that I" in the third and fourth line each followed by a verb (word that expresses an action) which in the third line is "fight" and in the fourth is "guard". The second case in which the repetition takes place is the use of "I do not" also in the third and fourth line and equally followed by a verb which in the third line is hate and in the fourth is love. Thus, the grammatical structures that are repeated in the excerpt are C. The use of "Those that I," followed by a verb and E. The use of "I do not," followed by a verb.

Read this excerpt from an essay. What is the author’s main purpose?
My first day of high school was a total nightmare. I will never forget that day. I was a skinny, freckled, 14-year-old nobody. I just wanted to blend in, but I somehow spent the entire day being noticed for the wrong reasons. I messed everything up. I forgot my books. I went to the wrong classes. So when I went to the wrong lunch session and ended up in a room full of seniors, I wasn’t surprised. Luckily, someone came to my rescue. Sensing my anxiety, one girl pointed out that I was lucky to be lost in that room because it was the meeting place of the school’s new Community Service Council. She volunteered to take me to the food court and told me to ask her if I ever needed help. Beneath the red, white, and blue school banners, I watched her skip away to help another boy who had dropped his tray. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one having a bad day. The Community Service Council ended up having a huge effect on my high school life. I just wish I could have found it in a less embarrassing way.

Answer:

To entertain readers with a funny story about the first day of school

Explanation:

The first sentence "My first day of high school was a total nightmare" has the overall idea of the excerpt, which it's to describe that personal experience. Through the text, they explain how apparently they did everything wrong in a humorous way: they forgot his books, went to the wrong classes, went to the wrong lunch session and they even ran out a girl from the new Community Service Council by mistake in a funny and embarrassing way, and the girl volunteered to help them. In the end, they do recognize that the Council had a huge effect on their school life, however, the main purpose of the narrative is to entertain with a funny story about that experience because it is what mainly the text is about.

When Daisy Miller: A Study was first published, what was the initial reaction to Daisy’s character?
A. critics mourned her death
B. critics were upset that daisy and winterbourne never fell in love
C. critics were frustrated by her naivete
D. critics considered her behavior an outrage

Answers

The correct answer is D. critics considered her behavior an outrage.
Daisy Miller is known for her flirtatiousness - she flirted shamelessly with Winterbourne which was obviously an outrage for the time period when Henry James wrote it in late 19th century. This is the reason why critics were so appalled by her public behavior, although that obviously changed over time.

Restrictive information is the one that helps to identify a noun and make it different from the rest. In a sentence, restrictive information helps to identify the subject or doer of the action, and it helps to avoid ambiguity. This kind of information does not need to have punctuation. Moreover, a complete sentence includes the subject and the verb without any punctuation that can cause fragments. Therefore, the correct answer is B: People who disobey traffic laws put others at risk.

B.Unless his knee gives him trouble Carlo will play in the soccer game on
Saturday.
C.Carlo will play in the soccer game on Saturday, unless his knee gives him
trouble.
D.Unless, his knee gives him trouble Carlo will play in the soccer game on
Saturday.

Answers

Final answer:

The correct sentence that demonstrates proper use of subordination is option B, without an unnecessary comma after 'unless.'

Explanation:

The correct sentence that shows the use of subordination is B. Unless his knee gives him trouble Carlo will play in the soccer game on Saturday. This sentence correctly uses 'unless' as a subordinating conjunction to connect the two ideas, indicating that the condition of Carlo's knee will determine his participation in the game. There is no need for a comma after 'unless' when it starts the sentence, but if 'unless' were in the middle of the sentence, it would normally be preceded by a comma. Incorrect options include unnecessary commas that disrupt the flow of the sentence or place the conjunction in a position that makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
