The excerpt :

Eventually, I visited Guyana to find out the fate of our house. As our car passed old sugar estates, and I saw the palm trees bending against the wide sky, the lush cane growing in thick, shiny rows, the villages, which were really parcels of land surrounding the important estates, I realized that sugar had been the entire reason for this country's existence. Every now and then an old boiling house—where the cane is processed into crystals, molasses, and rum—would show itself on the flat landscape, cropping up like a hulking ghost

Answer:

Which part of the sentence is a nonrestrictive clause?

The college cafeteria
which is free for all full-time faculty
is a popular and safe environment
for students to study.

Answers

Answer:

which is free for all full-time faculty

Explanation:

The non-restrictive clause is the non-essential information added to a sentence after a noun or subject. It provides more description that may not be needed as the information will still make sense without it. In the sentence above, the clause, "which is free for all full-time faculty" provides more information about the college cafeteria but it is not essential as we will still know the additional benefits of the college cafeteria without it. They are usually separated by commas.

The statement is a fact because it contains an expression that can be proven true.

Explanation:

A fact is an opinion that can be proven true whereas a reasoned judgment is an opinion supported by evidence. The statement that the brain activates a greater part of the brain is verifiable from previously conducted studies that were not cited by the speaker. However, his expression was based on that fact. A reasoned judgment would have expressed the opinion and immediately used facts and statistics to support it.

Therefore, the statement is a fact.

Why did the officers ask Kai what the chairs in his home looked like?

A
They had seen the Chinese poems engraved on the walls.

B
They thought it was a good question for a 12-year-old.

C
They wanted to see if Kai was really a skilled furniture maker.

D
They wanted to make sure Kai's answers matched his father's.

Answers

Answer:

D - They wanted to make sure Kai's answer matches his father's

Explanation:

This is simple deduction, none of the answers really have anything to do with Kai. But, if someone passed before him (his father) and they asked Kai the same questions they asked his father, they can cross examine and deduce whether Kai is really his son or not (because we find out in the text that people would often claim others as being their children even though they weren't, to help each other)

Therefore, D

The correct answer is D) They wanted to make sure Kai's answers matched his father's.

Which of the following is correct? 0 0 0 0 Please lie this book on the table. Please except my apology. He tried to affect our vote. I need to set down and rest awhile.​

Answers

Answer:

The correct sentence is:

3. He tried to affect our vote.

Explanation:

The sentences we are analyzing here are testing our knowledge of words that sound similar but have different meanings, or words that have close meanings with small differences.

For the first sentence, the verb should be "lay" instead of "lie". "Lie" is an intransitive verb, which means it does not act upon an object. "Lay", however, needs an object. We lay something. The sentence should be: Please lay this book on the table.

The second sentence confuses "except" with "accept". Just keep in mind that "except" is related to "exception", which means to exclude something. The sentence should be: Please accept my apology.

The third sentence is correct. We must use "affect", which is a verb. Some people confuse it for "effect", which is a noun.

Finally, the fourth sentence uses "set" instead of "sit", but the two verbs have completely different meanings. From the context, we can tell "sit" is the best option. The person wants to sit down to rest.
