Just a guess.. probably octopus and costume? Let me know if I was wrong.
Have a nice rest of your day :)
Final answer:
In the sentence provided, 'costume' and 'octopus' are the two common nouns that can be identified among other similar items without a specific name.
Explanation:
To select two common nouns from the sentence, we need to identify words that name people, places, things, or ideas which are not proper nouns (a particular name of a person, place, or organization). In the sentence, “Kimberly has an excellent costume planned for Halloween. She is going to be an octopus.”, the words “costume” and “octopus” are common nouns. These words refer to things that can be identified amongst other similar items without the need of a specific name.

Read the sentence. Brad and Alicia says they are available to babysit on Friday night. Why does this sentence need revision? The subject and verb do not agree. The modifier and object do not agree. It contains a dangling modifier. It contains a vague pronoun.
This sentence needs revision because the subject and verb don't agree. The correct sentence would be "Brad and Alicia say they are available to babysit on Friday night."
Answer: The subject and verb do not agree.
The subject and verb in a sentence must agree with one another in number i.e. singular or plural. It means that if the subject is singular then the verb must also be singular. If the subject is plural then the verb must also be plural.
The given sentence is in the present tense so the noun and verb must form singular/plural in opposite ways: by adding 's' to the nouns and removing 's' from the verb to form singular.
The correct sentence would be: Brad and Alicia say they are available to babysit on Friday night.

How does Rachel family’s mourn her death? From the color of water
Final answer:
Rachel's family's mourning in 'The Color of Water' is not explicitly detailed, but universal symbols of grief like pulling at hair and shedding tears, as well as metaphors involving water, are indicative of mourning, as seen in various artworks and literature.
Explanation:
In The Color of Water, Rachel's family mourns her death by clearly exhibiting signs of sorrow and grief which are universal to the human experience of loss. The text does not provide specific rituals or behaviors associated with Rachel's family's mourning. However, similar expressions of mourning can be found in various literary descriptions and artworks. For instance, some universal symbols of mourning include figures pulling at their hair, a gesture of despair and sadness, as mentioned by the character Steven. Additionally, the presence of tears, as observed in the artwork Girl with Tear III, signifies emotional pain and the act of crying as a response to death.
Mourning can also manifest through references to elements such as water, which can symbolize life, death, and the emotions in between. In some of the excerpts, water acts as a metaphor; it represents the mourning process—the struggle and the eventual acceptance. The 'black waters' can be interpreted as the sorrow engulfing the individual following a beloved's passing. Similarly, the image of a girl struggling in the water from The Drowning Girl, with tears indicating her distress, resonates with the feelings of someone in mourning. Lastly, the act of looking towards 'grave heights', with 'solitary tears' in one's eyes, symbolizes a person's yearning and deep sorrow, as further noted in the literary context provided by Deborah's experience.

Part A. The correct option is second. definition of the word stricken as used in the sentence from paragraph 4 is upset or afflicted.
Part B. The correct option is third. The detail from paragraph 4 that conveys the meaning of stricken is Erkan's face brightened when Michelle came in.
Part A: The word stricken in the sentence As soon as he saw her, Erkan's face brightened and he stopped looking like a stricken animal and instead looked like someone who recognized a dear old friend is used to describe Erkan's appearance before he saw Michelle.
The phrase stopped looking like a stricken animal suggests a change from a previous state.The options given for the definition of stricken are a. sick or weak, b. upset or afflicted, c. aggressive or threatening, and d. attacking or hitting. Among these, the most fitting definition in the context of the sentence is upset or afflicted because it implies that Erkan had a troubled or distressed appearance, which changed upon seeing Michelle.The other options do not align as well with the transformation described in the sentence.Part B: To determine which detail from paragraph 4 conveys the meaning of stricken, we must identify the detail that shows a change from a state of distress or affliction.
The detail Michelle's appearance was different than the nurses does not directly relate to Erkan's change in demeanor. The nurses huddled in Erkan's doorway also does not describe Erkan's reaction or appearance. Michelle rushed to Erkan's side indicates an action by Michelle, not a change in Erkan's state. The detail Erkan's face brightened when Michelle came in directly shows a change from a stricken appearance to one of recognition and happiness.This detail is the most indicative of the transformation from being stricken to looking like someone who recognizes a friend, thus conveying the meaning of stricken as used in the sentence.How do you prepare different kinds of sauces?

The artist changed the painting when he edged the corners and _________ the frame.
A. will be restoring
B. had restored
C. restored
D. is restoring
the answer is C. restored
In visual arts, edges describe the boundary between two color shapes. The relevance of edges is often undervalued because color and composition typically grab all the attention. Therefore, option C is correct.
What artist changed the painting when he edged?A style in late 1950s and early 1960s art known as “hard-edge painting” is closely related to Color Field Painting and Post-Painterly Abstraction. It represents an abstract aesthetic that combines Color Field Painting's rich color and strong, unified forms with geometric abstraction's clear composition.
If art employs cutting-edge methods or attempts something entirely novel, it can also be characterized as cutting-edge. Until the middle of the 1960s, the word “cutting-edge” was only used to refer to the actual edge of a tool's blade.
Therefore, The artist changed the painting when he edged the corners and (restored ) the frame.

Select a real-life situation in which a person may face isolation due to a difficult condition, as Gregor does after turning into an insect. You may choose a situation from the list below, or use a different one if your teacher agrees with your choice.
psychological conditions: dementia, schizophrenia, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder
physical conditions: paralysis or severe injury, going blind or becoming deaf, or facing an addiction
social conditions: being wrongly convicted of a serious crime, or moving to a place where some attribute of the person makes others around the person view him or her with contempt or suspicion
What condition did you choose to compare with Gregor's condition?
The chosen condition is: being wrongly convicted of a serious crime.
Gregor was judged and isolated because his appearance did not show what he really was anymore. His own family failed to keep on thinking of him as a human being, their own flesh and blood, a being capable of reasoning and feelings just like themselves.
The same might be observed if a person were to be convicted of a crime they haven't committed. In general, society has a tendency to distrust people who have made serious mistakes, or who seem to have made them. They fail to see the person behind what they believe to be true, thus failing to give them a chance and a helping hand.
It is currently possible to watch an unfolding situation regarding a famous crime. Steven Avery has become the object of much discussion after the series Making a Murderer presented arguments and, more recently, even proof of his innocence. However, people who have chosen to believe he is guilty are not willing to reconsider. If he ever gets freed, Avery knows he'll have to find somewhere else to live, for his chances of surviving at the community where he has grown up are very low.
The case above is merely an example, and is yet to be closed. Be it Avery or someone else, the stigma the person has to carry is a heavy burden. The lack of trust prevents the person from finding a job, becoming an active member of the community, and, sometimes, it causes estrangement from their own families. People are quick to judge the mistakes - or the appearance - of others and slow to forgive or believe them.
Note: if you dislike the example given, feel free to remove it from the text. It may be a bit polemic to mention this case.
