Answer:
D. The high-speed rail lines currently under construction . . . are anticipated for completion by 2023.
Explanation:
Ellipses are used to omit words, phrases or clauses (from a speech or writing) that are not relevant or that can be understood from the context, in order to focus on the most important information quickly. In this case, option D has the sentence that best uses ellipses because it omits “in Los Angeles, Chicago, Orlando, and Albany” to focus on the main point of the sentence which is the current state of the high-speed rail lines and when they are expected to be completed.

A.
tax-exempt income
B.
gross income
C.
tax-deferred income
D.
adjusted gross income

Tax-exempt income is income you don't have to pay taxes on but doesn't account for the income you have to pay taxes on.
Gross income is all of your income without adjustments.
Tax-deferred income is income that you don't have to pay taxes on until a later date but, like tax-exempt income, doesn't account for the income you have to pay taxes on right away.
Net pay is the paycheck you receive after taxes are withheld from your salary.

Identify the degree of comparison of the adverb in the following sentence:
“He is always so optimistic”
Answer:
The correct answer is A. positive.
Explanation:
Positive is the most basic form of adjectives and adverbs - it is the form we use when we are stating facts, describing someone, and not comparing them. For example: beautiful, nice, smart. This is the case for the adjective above - optimistic is the basic form.
If the sentence said - He is always more optimistic than him/He is the most optimistic person I know, then those would be comparative and superlative, respectively. And since we can say that someone is more optimistic/most optimistic, it means that the adjective is comparable; therefore, D is incorrect.
Answer:Uncomparable

THANK YOU PLEASE.
In the excerpt from Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, football played a role in his relationship with his father to spend quality time with each other after his parent's divorce and his father's and grandfather's obssesion to soccer. The answer is A.
Answer:
Football brought a sense of routine to the time the narrator and his father spent together.
Explanation:
Read Paragraph 8 of the excerpt.
For God's sake, are we crazy? In the face of history, of every line of philosophy, against the teaching of every religionist and seer and prophet the world has ever given us, we are still doing what our barbarous ancestors did when they came out of the caves and the woods!
Which statement is the best objective summary of Paragraph 8 of the excerpt?
Darrow calls the audience crazy and bullies them into choosing a punishment other than the death penalty for the boys.
Darrow refers to the boys as "barbarous," which strengthens his case for giving them the death penalty.
Darrow argues that giving the boys the death penalty would be a barbaric act that is not in line with the audience's beliefs.
Darrow manipulates the audience by evoking their emotions even though the boys clearly deserve the death penalty.
Answer:
Darrow argues that giving the boys the death penalty would be a barbaric act that is not in line with the audience's beliefs.
Explanation:
First, it's important to understand if Darrow wants the death penalty or not. He is not in favor of the death penalty. Killing someone for committing a crime, in his opinion, is the caveman's system of punishment. Any option that suggests the boys deserve or should receive the death penalty must be eliminated. This leaves the first and third options. Second, the purpose behind referring to history, philosophy, and the teaching of others is to talk about the audience's beliefs. A person's belief system is usually built from their culture which includes history, philosophy and the teaching they follow. Darrow is saying that all of these sources view the death penalty as barbaric.

To remove text from a specific location and keep it to use again, you should select _____. Cut Copy Delete Paste
You should select copy, because if you copy it and then delete it it will still be in use again
Answer:
cut.
Explanation:
In word processing softwares, you can remove sections of a text and keep it readily available to copy it elsewhere with the function of “cut” (the shortcut key for this function is Ctrl+C). This function, when writing and editing a text is probably one of the most used functions for it lets you modify the text at will without having to lose the text that is cut. You should be aware that the function only keeps one cut text at the time, so that if you use the function twice in a row, the second text cut will be the one that is available to past it.

Corporate censorship prevents public access to information.
Mainstream media typically has more resources to fund research.
A diversity of viewpoints have greater representation in this type of media.
There are not clear-cut procedures for investigating and fact-checking.
Which of these best describes an advantage of mainstream media over independent media?
Mainstream media typically has more resources to fund research.
~Hope this answers your question!~
Answer:
The statement that best describes an advantage of mainstream media over independent media is B. Mainstream media typically has more resources to fund research.
Explanation:
The concept independent media -also called alternative media- refers to the counterparts of mainstream media. Independent media is usually targeted to a smaller group of people, is not as easy to find as the mainstream media, and has lesser budgets compared to mainstream media (although both of them are created through funds from advertisements.) Therefore, one may say that statement B. Mainstream media typically has more resources to fund research is the correct answer.

Collective Sports are games that require the participation of two or more people as opposed to another team. To be a fair game it is necessary that the rules be made in an impartial way and not made to favor one team.

B. Leonardo da Vinci's, Mona Lisa, is probably the most famous Painting in the world.
C. Leonardo da Vinci's “Mona Lisa” is probably the most famous painting in the world.
D. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world.
Answer:
The sentence that exhibits proper usage is:
D. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world.
Explanation:
The reasons behind are the following. first A and C are the same exact answer. And they are wrong because they separate "Mona Lisa" with quotation marks that are not required. After all, we are talking direclty about it, we don't need to quote it because that is its name. Then B, separate three phrases to say we are not talking about the same idea. Therefore eventhough D is a long sentece it keeps the sense and the idea.
Read the sentence. Check the type of ungrammatical-sounding English that it illustrates. Jane has swam the course several times.
It should be
Jane swam the course several times.
Answer:
Incorrect usage of helping verb 'has' makes it sound ungrammatical or the wrong usage of the verb 'swam' with has.
"Jane swam the course several times." is the correct form or it can be
"Jane has swum the course several times".
Explanation:
There is a grammatical flaw in the sentence due to the unnecessary usage of the helping verb 'has' which makes it superfluous. If the helping verb has to be remained intact then the past participle form of verb i.e. 'swum' should be used. Thus, there can be two possible answers as given above.
. . . law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963 Explain how Dr. King uses the principle of justice in this speech. A. Justice is a universally understood and accepted principle. B. Justice is the use of laws to maintain order among citizens. C. Justice is a dangerously structured dam blocking progress. D. Justice is the fair application of laws to all citizens.
Final answer:
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sees justice as the fair application of laws, and asserts that laws become barriers when they don't uphold justice, highlighting the need for social reform.
Explanation:
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. uses the principle of justice in his speech from a human rights and social justice perspective. In the context of his 'Letter from a Birmingham Jail,' justice should be understood not simply as the maintenance of order, but rather as the fair application of laws to all citizens, aligning with option D. Justice is about righting the wrongs and correcting the deep-seated evils rooted in societal structures, particularly those related to racism, poverty, militarism, and materialism. Through his nonviolent approach to activism and civil disobedience, Dr. King makes it clear that when laws and order fail to facilitate this level of justice, they become barriers to social progress, not its protectors.

Question 2 options: a) "She waited all day, in the same condition of mad fear before this terrible calamity." b) "Every month they had to meet some notes, renew others, obtain more time." c) "‘And it has taken us ten years to pay for it.'" d) "‘It was worth at most only five hundred francs!'"
D) "'It was worth at most only five hundred francs!'"
The way it is said with an exclamation point is they are surprised that it is worth that much.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
The sentece from the short story "The Necklace" that causes surprise in the reader is the one that reveals that the borrowed necklace, which was supposed to be made of diamonds, was merely a replica.
This means that all of Mathilde's hard work to pay for the one she bought to replace the one she lost, was not necessary to begin with, since the original only costed five hundred francs.
Melissa wondered when if was going to snow. What is the point of view? How do you know?
Third person point of view.
This sentences refers to the character by name 'Melissa' - which is 3rd person. First person would have used 'I wondered'
The point of view in 'Melissa wondered when it was going to snow' is third person limited, which means the story is narrated from an outside perspective with insight into only Melissa's thoughts.
Explanation:In the sentence, 'Melissa wondered when it was going to snow,' the point of view is third person limited, because the story is being told from an external perspective (the narrator is not a character in the story), but we are given insight into Melissa's thoughts. It's denoted 'limited' because we only have access to Melissa's mind and not every character's. In contrast, a first person point of view would involve the narrator as part of the story, typically using pronouns like 'I' or 'we'. On the other hand, third person omniscient point of view means the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all characters, not only one.
