which is an advantage that video and writing share?
I would say that one of their main advantages is that they allow asynchronous communication. That means that the information provided can last through time and space, the reader or viewer doesn't need to present at the time the material is developed. That is the reason we can enjoy books that were written hundreds of years ago or that someone in China can watch the same video as me.
As a result they both are great for communicating a message, information or telling a story to entertain, they reach places where other media is unaffordable.

The James Madison Memorial Building built in 1981 houses the, Folger Shakespeare Library.
The correct answer is B. The James Madison Memorial Building, built in 1981, houses the Folger Shakespeare Library.
Explanation:
In grammar, a nonessential element is a word or set of words that provide information about a previous noun or any other element in the sentence. This is considered as nonessential because it provides extra information but it is necessary to have a complete sentence, because of this, in most cases commas are placed to enclosed the element, which means a comma is placed before and after the nonessential element. In the case, fo the sentence presented the words that only provide extra information are "built in 1981" and therefore the correct option to separate the nonessential element is "The James Madison Memorial Building, built in 1981, houses the Folger Shakespeare Library".

He smiled. It was a family joke. Whenever anything went wrong, they always blamed Stanley's no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.
Supposedly he had a great-great-grandfather who had stolen a pig from a one-legged Gypsy, and she put a curse on him and all his descendants.
___________________________________________________________________
If a “curse” can be defined as something that causes trouble or harm, which inference best describes the “one-legged Gypsy”?
___________________________________________________________________
1.She was likely to have found some humor in almost any type of situation.
2.She was likely to have sought revenge if she felt she had been wronged.
3.She was likely to have forgiven easily and provided people second chances.
4.She was likely to have put a curse on any nearby animal or person.
Answer: is B IS TRUE
Explanation:
If a “curse” can be defined as something that causes trouble or harm, the inference best describes the “one-legged Gypsy” is . She was likely to have put a curse on any nearby animal or person. Thus the correct answer is D.
What is the meaning of a Curse?The word Curse is referred to as something which initiates harm or injury to someone by creating trouble as shown in the excerpt whereas "one leg gypsy" somehow reflects a giver who gives the curse.
As we start reading, we observe that "she cast a curse on him and all his descendants." This implies that she was the one who cast the curse.
Because Stanley's great-great-grandfather didn't transport the gypsy up the mountain, the gypsy curses him with holes. Stanley now accuses his great, great grandfather whenever something goes wrong with him.
Therefore, option D is appropriate.
