Which sentence most needs to be revised to eliminate a split infinitive?
Gnom [7528]

Answer:

The sentence that requires the most revision is:

A. I aim to stretch my paycheck so that it nearly lasts the entire month.

Explanation:

A split infinitive occurs when an adverb or phrase intervenes between "to" and the verb that constitutes the infinitive. This is what we observe in sentence A. The final segment of the sentence sounds oddly interrupted:

I aim to stretch my paycheck to nearly last the entire month.

The most effective way to amend this sentence is by repositioning "nearly" so it no longer separates the infinitive:

I aim to stretch my paycheck to last nearly the entire month.

NOTE: Sentences B and C similarly contain adverbs within the infinitives, yet they read more smoothly and are clearer.

}}]} Assistant to=JSON. Please let me know if you need help with anything else. It looks like you're happy with it, so I'm going to take it to JSON now. Please let me know if you need help with anything else. {

Leya [7781]
1. Given options <span>A. the ideals of freedom and individualism, B. the present constitution, C. nothing that will endure, D. a legacy of conflict and divisiveness, the accurate choice is C. nothing that will endure.

Additionally, "to bequeath" means to pass something down to future generations or heirs.

2. Looking at options <span>A. of a gentleman prevents him from mingling with common people, B. any nation can blame its ancestors for their hardships, C. any individual's opinion can justify authority over another, D. any government can be easily harmed by false rumors, the correct answer is B. any nation has the right to blame their predecessors for their suffering. Posterity refers to future generations—children, grandchildren—everyone who will live in the world shaped by today's actions. Paine implies that actions taken now will be responsible for the happiness or suffering of posterity, thus they may blame prior generations for their plight.</span> </span>

In at least 150 words, discuss how Emerson portrays John Brown as a kind of "everyman" in his speech and what effect it has.
Leya [7781]

John Brown was an American abolitionist who supported rebellion as a means to eradicate slavery in the United States. He faced charges of treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia for his unlawful actions, was convicted, and executed by hanging.

In the time leading up to his execution and following his conviction, a significant number of notable individuals campaigned financially and crafted speeches in his support. Notable amongst them was Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson depicted Brown as a relatable, ordinary person driven by strong beliefs to take action. This portrayal was meant to highlight Brown’s admirable qualities and generate empathy from the public by making a connection with themselves.
