in lines 1-7. Which of Woolf's word
choices suggest Oliver is preoccupied
with how others see him?
Answer:
Woolf's word choices that suggests that Oliver is preoccupied with how others see him is "looked down"
Below is an excerpt:
"...And from the middle window he looked down upon the glossy roofs of fashionable cars packed in the narrow straits of Piccadilly."
This suggests that he had a sense of how others see him. The same word choices that revealed that he is preoccupied with how others see him is also seen in line 16 of "The Duchess And The Jeweller":
"...and he would look down at his legs, so shapely in their perfect trousers; at his boots; at his spats. They were all shapely, shining;..."
Explanation:
The question is culled from "The Duchess And The Jeweller" written by Virginia Woolf.
The short story is centered on a jeweller known as Oliver Bacon who is the only developed character. The story has a reflection of the English society as seen during Woolf's time. The jeweller, Oliver is seen as an ambitious and arrogant man. He became one of the high-ups in the society and lived at Piccadilly, the most expensive place in London.
Adeline Virginia Woolf is the author of "The Duchess And The Jeweller". She is an English writer who is considered to have pioneered and led the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.

Sometimes it is difficult to convince top management to commit funds to develop and implement a SIS.
Why?
ANSWER:
It is because, the SIS department does not add to the profit of the organization, instead they cause the organization to incur more cost.
EXPLANATION:
From the context of your question, SIS means Special Information System. This information system helps to promote the company's goal by enhancing and aiding each department in the organization in processing Information among staffs of the organization and across clients of the the organization. They always serves as a mediator in communication.
But because each department can communicate with each other directly, without SIS, and messages can be circulated in the organization by circulating a hardcopy of such message. Top management See's it as a waste of money to invest in SIS, as such department are always costly to manage.

1 Traditional, barred cages are almost absent from modern zoos. 2 Instead, animals in modern zoos live in surroundings similar to their natural environment in the wild. 3 Artificial storms are designed, and deserts are constructed, to meet the needs of a wide variety of beasts, fish, and fowl. 4 Fish exhibits are particularly popular at zoos. 5 Tape recordings of familiar noises are used to soothe animals and help them adjust to new homes. 6 Gorillas, for example, often become sluggish in captivity. 7 They become more active when exposed to recordings of sounds that they would encounter in African mountain forests. Which sentence could you remove from the paragraph to improve its unity?

Find and correct the subject-verb agreement errors in this paragraph. There are ~10.
Most jobs now require computer skills, but the digital revolution has not improved our quality of life. Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exist in every office, work should be simpler. However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale have resulted from our switch from paper to computers. Indeed, each worker’s tasks has become more complex. In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders was needed to complete a request for supplies. The process, including online confirmation, now require five separate documents. The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, are frustration and curses. Everyone, including the supervisors, are fed up with the extra work. When our division implement a new computer system next month, I expect at least two of my co-workers to quit. Fifteen hours of training are needed to learn the new system, and that is more time than any of us have to waste.
Answer:Explanation:
The subject-verb agreement errors in the paragraph above are underlined and bolded below:
Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exist in every office, work should be simpler.The main subject here referred to in the sentence is “a desktop computer”, which is singular. A singular verb should follow. EXISTS is the right singular verb to use.
However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale have resulted from our switch from paper to computers.According to the rule of subject-verb agreement, when “neither…nor” is used, a singular verb is used. The correct verb to be used here would be HAS.
Indeed, each worker’s tasks has become more complex.The subject “tasks” is in the plural form, and should attract a plural verb HAVE.
In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders was needed to complete a request for supplies.The last listed noun that serves as the subject in the sentence here, “two purchase orders”, determines the verb form that should follow. So, the plural verb “WERE” should follow.
The process, including online confirmation, now require five separate documents.“The process” is a singular, which should attract a singular verb, “REQUIRES”.
The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, are frustration and curses.The main subject here is “the result”, which is singular should attract a singular verb “IS”.
Everyone, including the supervisors, are fed up with the extra work.“Everyone” is the main subject here, and attracts a singular verb “IS”.
When our division implement a new computer system next month, I expect at least two of my co-workers to quit.“Our division” is taken as a single unit in this sentence, and should attract a singular verb, “IMPLEMENTS”.
Fifteen hours of training are needed to learn the new system, and that is more time than any of us have to waste.“fifteen hours of training” is used here as a single unit specifying time, and should attract the singular verb, “IS”.
Also, in the later part of the sentence, “any of us” should attract a singular verb “HAS”.
Below is the paragraph after correction of the several errors:
Most jobs now require computer skills, but the digital revolution has not improved our quality of life.

However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale has resulted from our switch from paper to computers. Indeed, each worker’s tasks have become more complex.
