The last option. There needs to be an apostrophe in "its".
Answer:
I believe the sentence that should be corrected to be indeed the last one: Its amazing how upset fans get over the game of baseball.
Explanation:
The missing apostrophe between "it" and the letter "s" makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. "Its", without the apostrophe, is a possessive pronoun/adjective. It should refer to or modify a noun, connecting it to another element in a relationship in which one owns the other. For instance:
My cat has tremendous abilities. Its amazing capacity to jump never fails to surprise me.In the sentence above, there are two adjectives changing the noun "capacity". The capacity is amazing. The capacity belongs to the cat. Also, capacity functions as the subject of the sentence, along with the elements that modify it.
Now, in the sentence we are studying here, the pronoun "it" is the subject of the sentence. What is amazing? It is amazing. The letter "s" that comes after it is nothing but the contraction of the verb "is". Thus, it should be spelled as the following:
It's amazing how upset fans get over the game of baseball.Why does Jimmy get nervous when he moves his cursor over the "buy now" button?

Read this excerpt from "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan.
But it wasn’t until 1985 that I finally began to write fiction. And at first I wrote using what I thought to be wittily crafted sentences, sentences that would finally prove I had mastery over the English language. Here’s an example from the first draft of a story that later made its way into The Joy Luck Club, but without this line: “That was my mental quandary in its nascent state.” A terrible line, which I can barely pronounce.
How does this paragraph from "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan help to develop one of the author’s key ideas about language?
A. It shows that using complex words does not necessarily make one's language clearer or more understandable.
B. It shows that even accomplished authors never truly master language .
It gives a description of the author’s current feelings about her mother.
Part A: The given detail about his mother's "limited English" reveals Tan's reflections on judging her own mother because of her English.
Part B: The given paragraph shows that using complex words does not necessarily make one's language clearer or more understandable.
Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue" delves into the difficulties that immigrants faced, especially in their language skills, when coming to America and attempting to live as an American. In the particular story, she focuses on how she had perceived her mother's use and adaptation of the language.
In the first excerpt, Amy Tan delves into how she had 'judged' her mother's usage of the American language. She admits that her "mother's limited English limited [her] perception of her." This reveals Tan's reflections on how she judged her own mother because of her "limited" English speaking skills. Also, the second excerpt focuses on her writing and how she had used complex words thinking it's what makes them better or understandable. Talking about her first draft where she used a "terrible line", she expressed her realization that using complex words does not necessarily make one's language clearer or more understandable.Amy Tan talks of how one's "limited" knowledge of the English language led to her own perceptions about her mother. And through trying to show through her work that she's better than her mother, she realized that using complex or difficult English words does not necessarily mean that person is good in English. Thus, the correct answers are options A for both Part A and Part B.

What type of repetition is used in the bolded sections of the following excerpts from Stephen Foster's '' Oh , Susanna ''
Oh , Susanna ,
Oh don't you cry out for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
chorus
ode
rhyme
alliteration
Description
Answer:
C: rhyme
Explanation:
The type of repetition used in the excerpt of "Oh Susanna" is rhyme in the end of the lines, the last syllable of the verse ( "Susanna " and "Alabama " ; "for me " and "on my knee " ), forming a very common type of rhyme: the Tail Rhyme. The excerpt is a chorus, but the rhymes are in the sections of the excerpts.
Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this story. Which quotation from “A Horseman in the Sky” shows how Carter Druze's father advances the plot of the story? "'Well, go, sir, and, whatever may occur, do what you conceive to be your duty.'" “The face of the rider,...showed only an outline...was looking downward to the bottom of the valley.” "'Virginia, to which you are a traitor, must get on without you.'" "'Should we both live to the end of the war, we will speak further of the matter.'"
The correct answer is "Well, go, sir, and , whatever may occur, do what you concieve to be your duty."
From the story "A Horseman in the Sky" by Ambrose Bierce, the aforementioned quote is what determines Carter's behaviour throughout his encounter with the horseman, but it only takes full effect once the horseman faces his direction, revealing his identity to Carter, but not to the reader. At the end of the story, it is revealed that the horseman is in fact Carter Druse's father, and so it is proven that both Carter and his father were in opposite sides of a war.
This revelation causes Carter to shoot the horse of his father, implying he didn't have the nerve to kill his own father, but at the same time, attempting to live to his father's counsel: "Do what you concieve to be your duty".
The rest of the option cannot be correct since:
The second quote explains on of the story's facts, but one that does not have much impact on the plot, given that the horseman's actions (besides from his glance over Carter's position) have no direct effect over Carter.
The third and fourth quotes could have an effect on the unfolding of the plot only if the reader knew about the horseman's identity before the climax, the third one explaining how Carter would become an enemy to his father by joining the Union; the fourth one stating their possibility of becoming military casualties of war, rather than civil casualties.

What business has Professor Bhaer been taking care of while in town?
Professor Bhaer has been taking care of errands in town, such as running errands and handling various tasks, as indicated by his presence in the men's district of town and his offer to hold an umbrella over Jo's head when it begins to rain.
While in town, Professor Bhaer has been taking care of various errands and tasks. This is evident from his presence in the men's district of town, which includes counting houses, banks, and wholesale warerooms. As Jo walks through this area, she hopes to catch a glimpse of the professor, indicating that he is likely occupied with his business in this part of town.
Additionally, when it begins to rain, Jo chastises herself for forgetting her umbrella in her pursuit of the professor. However, she is surprised to find an umbrella being held over her head, and she looks up to see that it belongs to Professor Bhaer. This suggests that he is not only busy with errands but also considerate and attentive to Jo's well-being.
Overall, Professor Bhaer's presence in the men's district of town and his act of holding an umbrella over Jo's head indicate that he has been occupied with various tasks and errands while in town, demonstrating his responsibility and thoughtfulness.
The probable question maybe:
Jo and Professor Bhaer begin to spend more and more time together, and by the second week of his visit the Marches (all but Jo) are sure of his intentions. However, after two weeks of daily visits, the professor is away for three days. Jo is frustrated, and she decides to take her mind off of things by running some errands in town (secretly harboring the hope that she would run into the professor). Her mother reminds her to take an umbrella before she leaves – Jo forgets this. Jo finds herself walking in the men’s district of town – the counting houses, banks, and wholesale warerooms – where she hopes to catch a glimpse of the professor. It begins raining, and Jo chastises herself for forgetting her umbrella in her foolish search for the professor. As she walks, she notices that an umbrella is being held over her head. She looks up and sees that it belongs to Professor Bhaer. As they walk, the professor reveals that he’s been offered a position at a college in the West. Jo is shattered, but keeps her feelings to herself. She numbly accompanies him on a number of errands, and finally tells him that she must return home. She begins to weep as they walk, prompting the professor to ask her what’s wrong. Jo confesses that she’s heartbroken that he’s going away. Professor Bhaer is overjoyed, and he proposes to Jo on the spot. Jo joyously accepts The professor reveals that he got the courage to court Jo from a poem of hers (“In the Garret” – detailing each of the March girls’ hope chests) that he found published in a paper. The poem convinced Professor Bhaer that Jo was lonely and might accept his love. When they arrive at the March family’s house, Jo kisses him while they still stand under the umbrella.

Read the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence.
Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.
What is the author’s purpose in this excerpt?
a to inform readers about British immigration to the colonies
b to convince readers that Britain has treated the colonists unfairly
c to inform readers about specific acts of British military aggression
d to convince readers that American colonists should be tried in Britain
The answer is:
b to convince readers that Britain has treated the colonists unfairly.
In the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence, the author mentions how Britain has has unjust methods. First, he acknowledges British "attempts by their legislature," usurpation, and the fact that the English government has has not listened to the colonies' claim for justice, even though Americans are their descendants.
Option(B) The author's purpose in this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence is to convince readers that Britain has treated the colonists unfairly, leading to the necessity of declaring independence from British rule.
Understanding the Author's Purpose in the Declaration of Independence
The author of the Declaration of Independence in this excerpt has a clear purpose: to convince readers that Britain has treated the colonists unfairly. By listing the attempts to communicate grievances and the consistent disregard from the British side, the excerpt underscores the perceived injustices.
These injustices were met with appeals to common bonds and reminders of shared history, but ultimately led to the necessity of separation as the British continued to act with a deaf ear to appeals for change. This is part of a larger argument demonstrating the need for American independence and the right of the people to separate from tyrannical rule as highlighted in other parts of the Declaration.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
b to convince readers that Britain has treated the colonists unfairly.

Provide an example of each poetic device from any poems.
Metaphor
Simile
Personification
Final answer:
In poetry, a metaphor directly compares two different things, a simile uses 'like' or 'as' for comparison, and personification gives human attributes to non-human entities. Examples include "Hope is the thing with feathers" (metaphor), an expression rising as a parakeet escaping a cage (simile), and a virus packing bags (personification).
Explanation:
Understanding Poetic Devices: Metaphor, Simile, and Personification
In poetry, a metaphor is a direct comparison between two unlike things, suggesting they are the same. One classic example is from Emily Dickinson's "Hope": Hope is the thing with feathers. Here hope, an abstract concept, is compared to a bird with feathers, implying that hope is uplifting and ever-present.A simile, on the other hand, compares two different things using the words like or as. Bruce Snider's "Chemistry" provides an apt example: something inside me / rising explosive as my parakeet bursting / from its cage. The emotional surge within is likened to a parakeet explosively flying out of its cage, capturing both the suddenness and liberation of the feeling.Personification involves giving human characteristics to non-human entities. An illustrative example could be: The virus packed its bags and spread across the ocean, attributing human actions to a non-human subject to emphasize its rapid and intentional spread.These rhetorical devices enrich the text, creating vivid imagery and enabling readers to explore and relate to abstract concepts in a more tangible way.

Please rewrite this sentence correctly-- elephant's are born without tusks get baby tusks and replace those with adult tusks
The correct way to rewrite this sentence would be by adding the word "then", which is an adverb of time and a connector that expresses the continuity of time, and also by making the necessary changes. The sentence describes three stages of an elephant's life and how its tusks are in all three stages. So, the sentence asks for a connector that can cause the continuity effect, that can express a consequence in time, meaning, "after that". Also, it is necessary to add the personal pronoun "They", referring to the subject "elephants", in order to make the verb "to get" in the sentence become grammarly correct. Moreover, the subject "Elephants" should be written without the apostrophe, because the "s" at the end of the word configures plural, not possessive. The corrected sentence would be:
Elephants are born without tusks, then they get baby tusks and replace those with adult tusks.
