Explanation:

In this example, C is the only correct answer because their is agreement between the subject and the verb. The complete sentence would state that: A high school student can prepare for college by developing good writing skills. This is the only adequate answer because the other options do not express correct subject-verb relations. The correct subject-verb order in this example has to be A. The sentence would read: A first-year college student maintains good grades because he consistently does his homework. The subject of the sentence is student, which means that the verb needs to be the third person singular form of the verb ''to maintain''.  The audience in this paragraph is job-seekers. This is clear from the context since the points mentioned would only be useful if given to a job-seeker. The suggested advice has to do with job applications and tips to impress the potential employer in hopes of getting the job. A state senator, an employer o a high school teacher already have jobs and would thus not need these tips. The purpose of this passage is to inform us about what happened to the Titanic. It is a purely informative passage and begins with telling us about the Titanic and its destination. We then read about the number of people on the ship and how long it took the ocean liner to sink after departing England. There are no sentiments expressed in the passage, only facts that are presented in a succinct and straightforward manner. A tone can be defined as an attitude or a mood that a writer uses to set the feel of a written piece. There are a wide variety of tones that range from happy to distraught to suspicious. Outrage is a tone that would be reinforced by words or anger, disbelief, and an overall mood that expresses the anger that the author feels and that is reflected in the piece. A college acceptance letter is an object and, therefore, a noun. As such, it cannot be used correctly unless it is part of a complete sentence. In the correct answer, b, Jamal is excited because he has received a college acceptance letter from a university and will now be able to attend that school. The other options are fragments and are therefore unable to stand alone as complete sentences. None of the examples given are correct due largely to the fact that they are identical in nature and show no sign of variation. Nonetheless, using the rules of capitalization, it is possible to successfully revise the sentence to identify the words that should be capitalised. With correct capitalisation, the sentence would read: The Second World War ended in 1945. In this sentence the preposition is around, and the prepositional phrase is around the old oak tree. The purpose of the preposition in this example to give a relationship between the action of playing and the place where this action was taking place. Thanks to the presence of the preposition, we know that the children were playing around the base of a tree rather than in front of it or in its branches.
