Answer:
D) I tried to drive before the light turned red, but stopped when it did
E) I tried to drive when the light was still yellow, but stopped when it turned red.
Explanation:
Given the fact that the question is incomplete and example 2 (which is said to be a garbled sentence, confusingly written) was not given, we can assume that it was talking about a person trying to beat the red light.
With this in mind, the two revisions below that would clarify its meaning are options D and E because they make the most sense.
The incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and extraordinarily powerful. Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of life; how much money he makes, how large an entourage he carries, how much he gets to eat, sleep, and otherwise take advantage of his success. The sixty-six highest-ranked wrestlers in Japan, comprising the makuuchi and juryo divisions, make up the sumo elite. A wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. Any wrestler in the top forty earns at least $170,000 a year. The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year. Life isn’t very sweet outside the elite. Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, preparing their meals and cleaning their quarters and even soaping up their hardest-to-reach body parts. So ranking is everything.
A wrestler’s ranking is based on his performance in the elite tournaments that are held six times a year. Each wrestler has fifteen bouts per tournament, one per day over fifteen consecutive days. If he finishes the tournament with a winning record (eight victories or better), his ranking will rise. If he has a losing record, his ranking falls. If it falls far enough, he is booted from the elite rank entirely. The eighth victory in any tournament is therefore critical, the difference between promotion and demotion; it is roughly four times as valuable in the rankings as the typical victory.
Based on the excerpt, which of the following statements best summarizes the incentive system that ranks sumo wrestlers?
The incentive system penalizes elite sumo wrestlers.
The incentive system rewards elite sumo wrestlers.
The incentive system treats all sumo wrestlers equally.
The incentive system treats all sumo wrestlers like royalty.
Answer:
Based on the excerpt, the statement which best summarizes the incentive system that ranks sumo wrestlers is:
B. The incentive system rewards elite sumo wrestlers.
Explanation:
An incentive system is a system used to motivate people to perform better. Money in the form of a bonus, for instance, can be given to employees who have performed at a higher level than others.
In the passage we are analyzing here, the incentive system for sumo wrestlers works by dividing them into different ranks. The ones who rank better - the elite - are treated like royalty. On the other hand, the ones who rank low are supposed to clean, cook for, and even bathe the elite players. As we can see, there is a clear distinction in the way they are treated. Therefore, we can safely say that letter B is the best option:
The incentive system rewards elite sumo wrestlers.

Read the following exchange between Romeo and Juliet from act I of Romeo and Juliet. What does the excerpt reveal about the love between the two young people?
ROMEO: (to JULIET) If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
JULIET: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
ROMEO: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
JULIET: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

Which sentence in this excerpt from 'The American Crisis" by Thomas Paine illustrates that it is a persuasive essay?
I shall conclude this paper with some miscellaneous remarks on the slate of our affairs; and shall begin with asking the following question, Why
is it that the enemy hath left the New England provinces, and made those middle once the fear of war? The answer is easy, New England is not
infested with Tories, and we are. I have been under in raising the cry against these men, and used numberless arguments to shew them their
danger. ... The period is now arrived, in which either they or we must change our sentiments, or one or both must fall. And what is a Tory? Good
GOD! what is he? I should not be afraid to go with a hundred Whigs against a thousand Tories, were they to attempt to get into arms. Every Tory
is a coward, for servile, slavish, self-interested fear is the foundation of Toryism; and man under such influence, though he may be cruel,
never can be brave.
But before the line of irrecoverable separation be drawn between us, let us reason the matter together: Your conduct is an invitation to the
enemy, yet not one in a thousand of you has heart enough to join him. Howe is as much decelved by you as the American cause is injured by
you. He expects you will all take up arms, and flock to his standard with muskets on your shoulders, Your opinions are of no use to him, unless
you support him personally; for 'tis soldiers, and not Tories, that he wants.
Quitting this class of men, I turn with the warm ardor
of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out:
I call not upon few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have
too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but
hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that
thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works,"
that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The ar and the
near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his
children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. love the man
that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but ne
whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

Descriptive essay about fruit that I don't like,Persimmon
Answer:
The persimmon is the edible fruit of a number of species of trees in the genus Diospyros. The most widely cultivated of these is the Oriental persimmon, Diospyros kaki. Diospyros is in the family Ebenaceae, and a number of non-persimmon species of the genus are grown for ebony timber. In 2019, China produced 75% of the world total of persimmons.
Like the tomato, persimmons are not commonly considered to be berries, but morphologically the fruit is in fact a berry. The tree Diospyros kaki is the most widely cultivated species of persimmon. Typically the tree reaches 4.5 to 18 metres (15 to 60 ft) in height and is round-topped. It usually stands erect, but sometimes can be crooked or have a willowy appearance. The leaves are 7–15 cm (3–6 in) long, and are oblong in shape with brown-hairy petioles 2 centimetres (3⁄4 in) in length. They are leathery and glossy on the upper surface, brown and silky underneath. The leaves are deciduous and bluish-green in color. In the fall, they turn to yellow, orange, or red.
Persimmon trees are typically dioecious, meaning male and female flowers are produced on separate trees .Some trees have both male and female flowers and in rare cases may bear a perfect flower, which contains both male and female reproductive organs in one flower. Male flowers are pink and appear in groups of 3.They have a 4-parted calyx, a corolla, and 24 stamens in 2 rows. Female flowers are creamy-white and appear singly. They have a large calyx, a 4-parted, yellow corolla, 8 undeveloped stamens, and a rounded ovary bearing the style and stigma 'Perfect' flowers are a cross between the two.
Persimmon fruit matures late in the fall and can stay on the tree until winter.In color, the ripe fruit of the cultivated strains range from glossy light yellow-orange to dark red-orange depending on the species and variety. They similarly vary in size from 1.5 to 9 cm (1⁄2 to 3+1⁄2 in) in diameter, and in shape the varieties may be spherical, acorn-, or pumpkin-shaped. The flesh is astringent until fully ripe and is yellow, orange, or dark-brown in color. The calyx generally remains attached to the fruit after harvesting, but becomes easy to remove once the fruit is ripe. The ripe fruit has a high glucose content and is sweet in taste

Tracy, a utility-maximizing individual with standard (bowed-in toward the origin) indifference
curves, consumes only two goods: pizza and soda. What must happen to her consumption of soda
if the price of soda falls?
Answer:
If the price of soda drops, and Tracy only consumes two goods (soda and pizza), what is likely to happen is that, due to the law of supply and demand, the lower the price, the higher the demand for the good. Thus, if soda drops in price, Tracy will seek to purchase larger quantities of said product, taking advantage of the drop in price to increase its stock levels.

What is the rule about splitting infinitives? How would you rewrite the quote above based on this rule?
"to boldly go"
"boldly" splits "to go"
split an infinitive is to put a word or words between the infinitive marker—the word to—and the root verb that follows it. A common example is the Star Trek phrase “to boldly go.” Here, the infinitive to go is split by the adverb boldly.
getitwriteonline dot com
Answer:
The rule is that it is incorrect to split an infinitive, so you should place the adverb in another part of the sentence, such as before to or after the infinitive verb form. According to this rule, the above quote should be written as "To go boldly, where no one has gone before" or "Boldly to go where no one has gone before."

Qs.2 Write a dialogue between two students who are discussing the merits and de-merits of open book examinations being conducted by Delhi University due to Corona pandemic. Each student has to speak 10 sentences. Remember dialogue should not be lopsided, both speakers should get equal weightage.Use proper tone and expressions. (10 marks)
Answer:
Jane and Elsa are two friends who study Engineering in Delhi college. The conversation between two friends is as below,
Explanation:
Jane: Are you aware of the new exam policy? We will be allowed to carry books during exam as we will now have open book exams due to Corona pandemic.
Elsa: In my opinion open book exam are not worthy as students will not learn from books instead they will just remember the topics.
Jane: Well I find open book exam suitable because due to closure of universities there is already lapse of studies and in such situation a student cannot prepare for the exam in short time.
Elsa: Open book exam will create discrimination among students, those students who are good at remembering topic names and page number will score high instead of those students who learn everything from book. Knowledge of students passing out will be limited.
Jane: But no one knows the question paper right? Then how we can be sure about topics that will be tested in exam. We will have to go through entire book in any case.
Elsa: I think open book exams are only suitable for questions whose answer are not readily available nor they can be extracted from text book quickly. For Multiple Choice Questions and multiple type questions this strategy is not suitable. This strategy is only suitable for case studies.

4. Do you believe McCandless is to blame for his own death? Explain your answer
using two specific details from the chapter. Use quotations to support your
response.
I
Chris' inability to forsee problems contributed to his death. He thought he was prepared, but he wasn't. His ignorance about the condition of the Teklanika, his insistence on visiting “uncharted territory,” by not brining a map, meant that once he was ready, mentally and emotionally, to leave, he physically could not. Thus, although he did not purposely mean to take his life (some believe it was sui cide), it comes down to the fact he was ignorant, ill prepared, and should have predicted he would need more than the few supplies he brought with him. Thus, he was responsible for his own death...... an unfortunate and very sad ending to a very young life.
