Which sentence most needs to be revised to eliminate a split infinitive?

English

Gnom [7.5K]5 days ago

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.

Does Samuel Sewall appeal more to logic or to emotion in "The Selling of Joseph: A Memorial"? Back up your response with evidenc
Bond [7527]

While there is a mix of logic and emotion present, the primary focus is on logic. Sewall articulates clearly that true adherence to the Bible should not allow for the acceptance of slavery or the mass killing of individuals. Acting in accordance with Christian principles entails emulating Christ and abiding by biblical teachings. There is no valid justification for Joseph's slavery, yet people still partake in similar practices as those who enslaved him. Sewall denounces human trafficking and questions the morals of those slave owners who consider themselves religious followers. By using Joseph's situation, he highlights the inconsistencies in their actions. Additionally, he references various biblical texts to bolster his argument against the act of stealing humans. His logic effectively exposes the hypocrisy of those who choose to overlook their contradictory beliefs and encourages self-reflection on their staunch convictions.

Read the passage from chapter 5 of Animal Farm. On the third Sunday after Snowball's expulsion, the animals were somewhat surpri
Flura [7041]

The responses include: He employs parody to illustrate how dictators shift blame onto others;

He utilizes reversal to demonstrate that dictators do not adhere to their own principles.


The author of Animal Farm, George Orwell, wrote this book to critique the policies of Stalin's regime in Russia. Orwell identified as a democratic-socialist.

The pigs claim control over the farm after driving out the human owner. Initially, they advocate for equality and the other animals believe that their lives are about to improve.

Nevertheless, as they gain power, particularly Napoleon, they start to exploit their leadership for personal gain and resort to deception to manipulate the other animals.

In the quoted section, Napoleon eliminates another pig, whose ideals originally fostered equality. He gradually evolves into a dictator, assisted by Squealer, who uses lies to control the animals. Napoleon shifts blame to others and abandons his principles as it suits him. For example, the original seven commandments that animals follow get modified as the pigs become more akin to humans:

- No animal shall kill any other animal

                         is transformed into

- No animal shall kill any other animal without justification.
