Read the excerpt from an English usage manual. A participle or a phrase containing a participle is called a participial modifier when it functions as an adjective. Both present participles (which end in -ing) and past participles (which typically end in -ed or -en) can be used this way. Note these examples from Sarah Orne Jewett's “The Country of the Pointed Firs.” … I looked, and saw Captain Littlepage passing the nearest window… (present participle) “It was a dog’s life,” said the poor old gentleman, quite reassured, “but it made men of those who followed it.” (past participle) When a participial modifier comes at the beginning of a sentence or clause, it is set off with a comma. In the middle of a sentence, it follows the same rules as a relative clause; if it is not necessary to the meaning of the sentence, it is set off by commas, but no commas are needed when the modifier is essential to the meaning of the sentence. If a participial is placed at the end of a sentence, it does not require a comma if it immediately follows the noun it modifies, as in the first example above. A comma is necessary if other words come between the noun and the participial. Which sentence about “The Country of the Pointed Firs” correctly demonstrates the structure described in the usage guide? A. Written in 1896, this novella is one of Jewett's many works portraying life in rural Maine.
B. Writing was not Jewett's first ambition, as a young girl she wanted to be a doctor.
C. Jewett also wrote poetry, but it is not as, widely known as her prose. D. The novella was well-received, and brought Jewett considerable praise from critics.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

question: select the word from the list that best fits the definition tables and charts comparing the government from five different states.

answer: appendix

hope this , and have a great day. c;

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
