the adjectives these and those should only be used only with . 1. plural nouns 2. concrete nouns. 3 simple subjects . 4 singular subjects

Answers

The correct answer choice is 1, plural nouns. Answer choice 2 doesn't make sense, because you can use 'those' and 'these' with abstract nouns, such as in the phrase 'those ideas'. Answer choice 3 doesn't make sense, because you can use 'these' and 'those' with objects as well, such as in the sentence 'I want those apples'. Answer choice 4 doesn't make sense at all, because you wouldn't say 'those cat walked across the yard'. The only answer choice that makes sense is answer choice 1.

The time was in the 1720s. Colonists were living in South Carolina. They petitioned England. They wanted forts built to their south. What is the best way to combine these sentences into one sentence?In the 1720s, colonists who were living in South Carolina. Petitioned England, They wanted forts built to their south.
Colonists living in South Carolina in the 1720s petitioned England because they wanted forts built to their south.
In the 1720s, colonists who were living in South Carolina petitioned England because they wanted forts built to their south.
In the 1720s, colonists living in South Carolina petitioned England to build forts to their south.

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is "In the 1720s, colonists living in South Carolina petitioned England to build forts to their south".  

Explanation: The last option is the correct one because it combines the four sentences provided into one sentence and does not include any grammar mistake. On the other hand, the first option ("In the 1720s, colonists who were living in South Carolina. Petitioned England, They wanted forts built to their south") fails to combine the four sentences into one and the second and third options present grammar mistakes: in both cases, the verb "petitioned" is not followed by an object. In contrast, the last option is free from grammar mistakes since the verb "petitioned" is followed by the preposition "to" and has an object ("to build forts to their south").  
In 1720, colonist living in South Carolina petitioned England to build forts to their south.

Which of the following details should you correct when you are in the revision stage?a. Your spelling errors
b. Your proofreading
c. Your grammar problems
d. Your word choices

Answers

It would be "d. Your word choices" that you correct when you are in the revision stage since this is the most important, but all the other items should be checked soon as well. 

When you are in the revision stage, you should correct your word choices. Option D is correct.

Revision does not refere to the improvement of grammar or diction. Those will be the focus of later editing.

Revision is the stage in the writing process where the author reviews, changes, and amends their message, in accordance to what has been written in the draft.

During a succesful revision the author should identificate the thesis, considerate the structure and uncover weakness in argument or presentation.

Which two of these characteristics are common to epics and ballads Both originated from the oral poetic tradition. Both revolve around the exploits of a central hero. Both use iambic pentameter and a simple rhyme scheme. Both contain the elements of a narrative. Both are exclusively focused on mythological stories.

Answers

The correct answers are A. Both originated from the oral poetic tradition and D. Both contain the elements of a narrative

Explanation:

The Epic a long narrative poem that originated as part of the poetic tradition in Ancient Grece and whose main purpose is to tell the actions of a hero or heroine that faces supernatural forces and represent a positive example of moral. Examples of epic poems include "The Illiad" and "The Odyssey" by Homer. Similar to Epic, ballads are poems that are part of the poetic tradition and originated during the middle ages, but whose main purpose is to tell stories of any kind including dramatic, romantic or funny story and depicting almost any type of characters. In terms of metric the ballads are composed by quatrians (four-line stanzas) while epics do not have a unique type of verse. Thus, it can be concluded the two characteristics ballads and epics share is that they both originated from the oral poetic tradition as they both are form of poems and use to be sung or told by people and that they both contain the elements of a narrative as they tell stories and therefore include narrative elements such as characters, conflict or narrator.

Both originated from the oral poetic tradition. Both contain the elements of a narrative.

Process of elimination can be a helpful strategy for questions where you have more than one right answer. Let's use the Odyssey, a famous epic, as a way to eliminate some answers. The Odyssey is not written in iambic pentameter, nor does it have a rhyme scheme. It also does not exclusively focus on a mythological story. It is a narrative (story), it does originate from the oral tradition, and it does revolve around the exploits of a central hero (Odysseus). Unlike epic poetry, ballads have a rhyme scheme but do not revolve around the exploits of a central hero. For example, Poe's Annabel Lee is a ballad. It has a rhyme scheme. It focuses on the speakers love for Annabel Lee.
