Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. Sarah was torn. Should she stop being friends with Connie just because of a rumor? Sarah heard the rumor from another good friend, a person who was usually very kind. Sarah didn't think she could be friends with Connie if the rumor was true. Yet, Sarah felt certain that confronting Connie, whether the rumor was true or not, would lead to disasterous results. But she felt that she had no choice; Sarah would have to ask. Sarah suddenly realized that the teacher had called her name; the other students were staring. Ugh, I'm going to get detention again! She thought to herself. Sure enough, Ms. Peterson angrily handed her the slip of paper that Sarah's mom would surely be pleased to sign later that night. Fuming, Sarah was temporarily distracted from thoughts of Connie, but then the bell rang and ended her reprieve. Sarah walked out of the classroom and imagined seeing Connie walking toward her seconds before the real Connie walked out of third period math. Connie waved and walked towards Sarah, grininning. Which statement describes the main conflict in the passage best? It's an internal conflict because Sarah has to decide whether or not to confront her friend. It's an external conflict because Ms. Peterson has given Sarah a detention. It's an internal conflict because Sarah will probably argue with her mom later that night. It's an external conflict because the bell interrupted Sarah's angry and worried thoughts.

Which of the following sentences uses the correct subject-verb agreement? (1 point)
A. At the party there were no one I knew.
B. There was many problems with the construction of the house.
C. One important aspect of the book is its detailed descriptions.,
Final answer:
The correct sentence with proper subject-verb agreement is 'One important aspect of the book is its detailed descriptions.' The other sentences have mismatched subjects and verbs, leading to agreement errors.
Explanation:
The sentence that uses the correct subject-verb agreement is: 'One important aspect of the book is its detailed descriptions.' In this sentence, the subject 'One important aspect of the book' is singular, and therefore, the verb 'is' correctly matches it in number. Looking at the alternatives, they contain errors: 'no one' is a singular subject, which should be matched with 'was' instead of 'were' in sentence A, and 'many problems' in sentence B is plural and should be paired with 'were' instead of 'was'.

More than 2.7 million customers enjoy doughnuts everyday. Even the increased emphasis on calorie counting and healthy eating has done little to impact the demand for doughnuts.

Read the excerpt from Act V scene 1 below and answer the question.
ROMEO If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep,
My dreams presage some joyful news at hand:
My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne;
And all this day an unaccustom'd spirit
Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.
I dreamt my lady came and found me dead--
Strange dream, that gives a dead man leave
to think!--
And breathed such life with kisses in my lips,
That I revived, and was an emperor.
Ah me! how sweet is love itself possess'd,
When but love's shadows are so rich in joy! 10
[Enter BALTHASAR, booted]
News from Verona!--How now, Balthasar!
Dost thou not bring me letters from the friar?
How doth my lady? Is my father well?
How fares my Juliet? that I ask again;
For nothing can be ill, if she be well.
BALTHASAR Then she is well, and nothing can be ill:.
Her body sleeps in Capel's monument,.
And her immortal part with angels lives..
I saw her laid low in her kindred's vault,.
And presently took post to tell it you:.
O, pardon me for bringing these ill news,.
Since you did leave it for my office, sir. 20
ROMEO Is it even so? then I defy you, stars!
Thou know'st my lodging: get me ink and paper,
And hire post-horses; I will hence to-night.
BALTHASAR I do beseech you, sir, have patience:
Your looks are pale and wild, and do import
Some misadventure.
ROMEO Tush, thou art deceived:
Leave me, and do the thing I bid thee do.
Hast thou no letters to me from the friar? 30
BALTHASAR No, my good lord.
ROMEO No matter: get thee gone,
And hire those horses; I'll be with thee straight.
[Exit BALTHASAR]
Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee to-night.
