B. The gradual worsening of conditions in the Machine
C. Kuno’s prediction and Vashti’s revisiting of the prediction
D. Vashti’s denied request for Euthanasia

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Kuno’s prediction and Vashti’s revisiting of the prediction

Explanation:

The book "The Machine Stops" is a short story that describes people who live underground and are solely dependent on a machine to solve the physical and spiritual needs.

Vashti is one of the inhabitants along with her son Kuno. Vashti is an obedient follower of the machine and its actions and decisions but Kuno is a rebel who is not happy with the way things are run underground and is eager to leave.

He tries to escape but is caught and forced to stay back, then subsequently he begins to see defects in the Machine and predicts its collapse, Vashti brushes aside his predictions even though they become more glaring each day.

Eventually when the defects become too much, Vashti revistists the prediction of Kuno and begins to brood. This causes suspense and confusion.

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.

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.

Answers

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. Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exists in every office, work should be simpler. 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. In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders were needed to complete a request for supplies. The process, including online confirmation, now requires five separate documents.

Reread the description of Oliver's home


in lines 1-7. Which of Woolf's word


choices suggest Oliver is preoccupied


with how others see him?

Answers

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.
