consequences of greed when the squid drives them
away from the reef.
O C The squid almost kills Jimmy Tom, and this near-
death experience teaches him to value life and not
to take too many risks.
OD The squid's sudden appearance convinces Jimmy
Tom to take charge and save his grandfather from

(commonlit “The REEF”)

the answer is b to the question

there are not supposed to be quotations (¨ ¨) from an mla citation in a paper. if there was an author then the author´s last name should be in the parentheses instead. if it is a book, the page numbers hould be listed after the last name.

let´s use the book ¨to kill a mockingbird¨ by harper lee as an example:

"atticus finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets¨ (lee 46).

hope this !

people can learn from the struggles of others.

many is the pronoun that is used in this sentence. many is a quantifier that determines the amount of discoveries. when we use quatifiers followed by nouns, they act as determiners, but when they are used without a noun, as it is this case, they are pronouns.
