Read this entry from a blog about service dogs.
Lexie, an eight-month-old black Labrador retriever, is
sleeping quietly at my feet. I can't help but think that
her soft, velvety ears and alert brown eyes would make
her the perfect "doggie model" for pet magazines and
pet store ads. However, Lexie will soon have a much
more important job to do. In a few months, she will
become the loyal companion and service dog for a
young man who has been blind since birth. She will
help him board public transportation, such as buses,
subways, and trains, and she will help him safely cross
busy intersections. Lexie will even help the young man
avoid obstacles, such as high curbs and low
overhangs. Like all dogs in our organization, Lexie has
undergone months of specialized training to help a
visually impaired person lead an active and
independent life.

Which sentence has a subject-verb agreement error?
sentence 1
sentence 2
sentence 3
sentence 4
Answer:
Sentence 3
Explanation:
Edg 2020
Sentence 3 is the sentence has a subject-verb agreement error in which the sentence has written that is neither he nor his parents thinks he’ll have time to do the work for both courses. Thus, option C is correct.
What is Subject-verb agreement?Subject-verb agreement means the subject and verb must have the same number (both singular or both plural). From the given options, the sentence that has a subject-verb agreement error, is the corresponding to option C, because the subject is "neither he nor his parents" (plural subject) and the verb is "thinks" when it should be "think" (plural form).
Rules of subject-verb agreement state that, when "neither...nor" is used in a sentence and both subjects are singular, a singular verb must be used. However, when "neither...nor" is used in a sentence and one subject is singular and the other one is plural, the verb must agree in number with the subject that is nearest to this verb.
In that way, sentence 3, which includes "neither...nor", has a subject-verb agreement error because a singular verb was used, even though the subject that is nearest to the verb is plural ("parents"). Therefore, a plural verb ("think") should have been used to give place to subject-verb agreement.

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things using "like" or "as." Example: "Her eyes sparkled like diamonds in the sunlight."
What is figure of speech?A figure of speech is a clever way to utilize language to produce a certain effect. Metaphor, simile, and metonymy are examples of figures of speech that are used often in spoken language.
A simile is a figure of speech that uses "like" or "as" to compare two things. In the sunlight, for instance, "her eyes shone like diamonds."
As a figure of speech, a metaphor compares two things by implying that one is like the other. We are all simply travelers on the same road, like in the statement "Life is a journey."
The recurrence of consonant sounds at the beginning of words in a phrase or sentence is known as alliteration and is a literary strategy. "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers," for instance.
Thus, these figure of speech can be used during a speech or presentation.

Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question.
[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.
[2] On the eleventh day, he brought Silenus back and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.
[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.
[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.
Answer: people who expect a reward for good deeds are selfish
Why: y
Explantion: Well Midas took care of the man then instantly told him the wish
(if its wrong its wishes are sometimes better to not come true as the others dont make since)

What is a major difference in style between Faulkner's speech and his writing
in As I Lay Dying?
A. He uses stream of consciousness in the speech.
B. He uses several slang terms in the speech.
C. His point of view is unbiased in the speech.
D. His logic is clear in the speech.
SUBMIT
Faulkner is renowned for using a style of writing called "stream of consciousness." With this style of writing, the author pretends to be the main character.
He writes differently from all other authors who portray the character from an outside perspective.
As he writes, he imagines himself as the character and writes from that place. In other words, he explicitly states his aim in both his speech and his works.
Thus, option D is correct.
What writing style does Faulkner use for his narratives?The experiments William Faulkner made with the stream-of-consciousness narrative technique are what made him most famous.
This writing style is defined by the use of language that imitates thought, frequently eschewing formal grammar in favor of more "organic" and inventive approaches.

so in class we read the Tale Tell Heart story, and i’m assigned to be the narrator’s attorney. i have to introduce the narrator, but they don’t mention their name in the story. how do i introduce the narrator while being assigned to defend him because of the murder he committed?
Well, i guess you could be on his side and say something like "The narrator couldn't control what he was doing because of the eye and the sound of the mans heart beating in his ears". This is what drove him to committing the murder along with confessing it as well.
Answer:
The defendant or the narrator
Explanation:
You are the narrator's attorney therefore he is the defendant. So you can call him the defendant. You can also call him the narrator since the Tell Tale Heart doesn't state his name.
