To find out which verb correctly completes the sentence, "The collection written by several of my favorite authors _____ research in the rainforest," you can analyze the subject and structure of the sentence.
In this case, the subject is "The collection written by several of my favorite authors," which is singular. When the subject is singular, it requires a singular verb.
If you consider both options, "discuss" and "discusses," you can see that "discusses" is the correct choice because it is the singular form of the verb, matching the singular subject.
Therefore, the correct verb to complete the sentence is "discusses."
Now, let's move on to the next question.
To determine what Anne thinks about the bumper sticker, you can use the context provided in the sentence. The sentence states, "Because Anne refers to the bumper sticker as 'everlasting punishment,'" implying that she has a negative view of the stickers.
Looking at the answer choices, "are a bad idea" is the option that reflects a negative opinion. Therefore, you can conclude that Anne thinks the stickers are a bad idea.
Moving on to the third question.
To identify the humor technique used in Anne's description of "everlasting punishment," you can analyze the options provided.
In this case, "hyperbole" is the correct answer because it refers to exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. Anne's description of "everlasting punishment" is an exaggerated statement, as she is using strong language to convey her criticism of the stickers.
Therefore, the correct humor technique used in this instance is hyperbole.
