An author claims that "Athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison." The author provides the following reason as support:

In 2013, the TV show Sport-Zone surveyed 2,000 athletes. 73 percent admitted knowing a teammate who took performance-enhancing drugs. Huang Kroll, spokesperson for the International Olympic Committee, was interviewed during the program. "Using illegal substances to gain an advantage is a huge issue," he explained. "Unless stronger laws are passed—laws that result in prison rather than suspension from competition—the problem will continue to grow."

Both petroleum and coal are made up of complex carbon-based molecules, and both originated with living creatures of some kind. Both are vital sources of energy for the modern world and both were formed by geologic processes over millions of years. However, petroleum was mainly formed from the remains of ocean-dwelling microorganisms. Coal, on the other hand, originated from decayed vegetation in ancient swamps and bogs. In any case, it took millions of years for both coal and oil to be produced. This is the case because it took that much time for overlying sediments to produce the unimaginable heat and pressure that would one day allow us to harvest these energy resources.

A. Compound
B. Complex
C. Intricate
D. Simple

Answers

simple, so that they do not get overly confused in the procedure

Complex sentence structure is best for explaining a reader can complete a task. Thus the option C is correct.

What is an Intricate sentences?

An intricate sentence is a type of sentence that contains at least one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.

The independent clause expresses a complete thought and can stand on its own as a sentence, while the dependent clauses modify or provide additional information about the independent clause.

In an intricate sentence, the dependent clause is typically introduced by a subordinating conjunction, such as "although," "since," "because," "while," or "if."

These clauses cannot stand on their own as complete sentences because they are dependent on the independent clause to make sense.

Thus the option C is correct.

Compare and contrast the characterizations of the Wanderer and Sir Gawain (the characters, not the poems).


Giving 99 points and brainliest to the person who writes me two paragraphs with three or more sentences each, comparing and contrasting the characterizations of the Wanderer and Sir Gawain.

Answers

         The Wanderer (from the Anglo-Saxon poem "The Wanderer") and Sir Gawain (from the Arthurian text Sir Gawain and the Green Knight) are in search for something. Withal, both men have been expatriated (the Wanderer has self-expatriated himself, and the promise Sir Gawain made coerces him to expatriate himself as well). The Wanderer (who has lost his family, king, and kinsmen) is in search for "one in the meadhall who kenned my people."          Sir Gawain is reluctant to accept the Green Knight’s challenge. He fears for his life. In the terminus he only accepts the challenge to forfend King Arthur’s life and accolade. He kens it is his obligation to forfend King Arthur, but only volunteers to do so at the last second. Sir Gawain withal breaks his oath to the Lord of the castle he is staying in. He broke their vow to trade whatever they had earned during the day when he keeps a sash the Lady of the castle gives him because he believes it will forfend him during his battle with the Green Knight.

The Wanderer and Sir Gawain have different personalities, even though they come from different old poems.

Both men have been forced to leave their home countries. The Wanderer left on his own, and Sir Gawain has to leave because of a promise he made.

The Wanderer is looking for someone in the meadhall who knew his family. Sir Gawain doesn't want to take the Green Knight's challenge. He is very scared for his life. In the end, he agrees to protect King Arthur's life and honor.

What is the characterizations

The Wanderer is shown as a lonely and sad person who is struggling with the feeling of losing his leader and family. His personality represents the feeling of being alone, which is the main theme of loneliness in the poem.

On the other hand, in the story "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," Sir Gawain is shown as a brave and honorable knight who goes on a daring adventure to meet the Green Knight. Gawain is known for being loyal, brave, and following the rules of chivalry.

Both the Wanderer and Gawain have difficulties, but the Wanderer's struggles come from the temporary and uncertain nature of living on Earth. On the other hand, Gawain faces threats that are supernatural and come from outside sources.

It implies that no one had reviewed the evidence before.
It implies that the lawyer was well-educated and had done this before.
It suggests that time was limited and could not be wasted.

Answers

The correct Answer is A

It suggests that the lawyer cared about the case and paid close attention to details.

The word meticulously in comparison with the word carefully reflects more attention to detail, as well as more precision when doing something.

Based on the context, choose the transitional word that best fills the blank.
A. Alternatively,

C. Nevertheless,
D. Likewise,

Answers

B. Consequently.

The transitional word that best fills the blank is “consequently.”  When we look at the excerpt from the passage you provided, we can see two sentences. The second sentence seems to be a result of the first sentence. With that in mind, of the possible transitional words, we need to find the word that most closely means “as a result” as this will give us the best transition to use. The word that means “as a result” (even though it has a negative connotation) is “consequently.”

Answer: the correct answer is B. Consequently

Explanation: Because "countries now have access... some people...". So it is cause and effect, that's why it is better to write "consequently".

excerpt from "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity" by Mara Rockliff

To the Austrian mine owners who had sent the pitchblende ore, it was just dirt. After all, they had already taken out the valuable part—the metallic element called uranium—and dumped what was left over in a nearby pine forest. If a pair of eccentric French scientists wanted them to scoop up the worthless stuff and ship it, the mine owners were happy to oblige.

But Marie and Pierre Curie knew the secret of the dull brown ore. Hidden deep within it was a new chemical element. No one, the Curies included, had ever seen this element. Still, the husband-and-wife team had given it a name: radium. And Marie was determined to prove radium was real.

It could be inferred that the word eccentric in the text means "odd."

Which context clue best helps confirm this meaning of the word eccentric?

A. "scientists wanted them to scoop up the worthless stuff and ship it"

B. "deep within it was a new chemical element"

C. "After all, they had already taken out the valuable part…called uranium"

D. "No one…had ever seen this element"

Answers

A. "scientists wanted them to scoop up the worthless stuff and ship it"

This context clue helps confirm the meaning of the word "eccentric" because scientists are meant to study things of worth and importance.

The characters in the book face numerous challenges both physical and psychological, carrying items that are a testament to their identities and experiences during the Vietnam War.

A) all remained slaves, from the youngest to the oldest

B )if any one thing in my experience, more than another, served to deepen my conviction of the infernal character of slavery, and of slaveholders, it was their based ingratitude to my poor old grandmother

C) she had served my old master faithfully from youth to old age

D) She was nevertheless a slave—a slave for life—a slave in the hands of strangers; and in their hands she saw her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren, divided like so many sheep, without being gratified with the small privilege of a single word as to their or her own destiny.

F) seven hundred and twenty dollars were paid for him.

G) he had laid up three hundred dollars, which her mistress one day begged as a loan, promising to pay her soon

H) no promise or writing given to a slave is legally binding

I) according to Southern laws, a slave, being property, can hold no property.

Answers

The correct answers are as follows:
1. For the first excerpt, the statement that shows that slaves have no legal rights and they are often betrayed by their masters is the statement in OPTIONS B. 
From the statement, it can be seen that, even though the grandmother slave served her master faithfully and loyally all through the days of her life, yet she remained a slave, someone who does not have any say in what happens to her and she also get mistreated by her master despite her faithfulness. 
2. For the second excerpt, the statement which shows that slaves possess no legal right is the one given in OPTION H.
This statement implies that, the slave masters are under no obligation to fulfill any promise, which they make to their slaves. Even, if the agreement is a written one, it still does not have the power to force the slave master to do that which has been promised. This means that, slaves can be treated anyhow without any fear of legal repercussion.

Answer: B: If any one thing in my experience, more than another, served to deepen my conviction of the infernal character of slavery, and to fill me with unutterable loathing of slaveholders, it was their base ingratitude to my poor old grandmother.

in what lines oh The Lady of Shalot does the poet reveal,the monotony of the lady's existance

Answers

In Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott," the monotony of the Lady's existence is revealed in Lines 26-27: "There she weaves by night and day / A magic web with colors gay."

These lines describe the Lady's repetitive daily activity of weaving a "magic web" in her isolated tower. The use of "by night and day" emphasizes the constant and monotonous nature of her work.

In Lines 95-96: "By the river's banks and the leafy trees / Weaving the web of her endless grief."

The Lady’s endless and repetitive task of weaving is compared to her "endless grief," further emphasizing the monotony and the unchanging nature of her life.

These lines collectively convey the Lady's repetitive and isolated existence, capturing the sense of monotony that defines her life in the poem.
