Answer:
The last sentence: 'The scholarship committee approved the plan.' avoids noun conversion.
Explanation:
All the sentences mentioned has some action part or you can say 'verb' hidden in them. Whereas, only the last sentence is free from any verb.
As if you see the first sentence; it mentions: 'will give consideration to', or the second; 'worked on establishment of', have the action part in them. Similarly the third; 'will be responsible for acquisition of' has verb defined.
So as Verb is defined as the 'state of being' or something 'which shows action'; therefore, it is the last sentence that is free from action part and avoids noun conversion.
Final answer:
The sentence 'The scholarship committee approved the plan' avoids noun conversion by keeping the key action as a verb. Other sentences use noun forms of verbs, which is a common practice that can sometimes lead to less clear and more cumbersome constructions.
Explanation:
The sentence that avoids noun conversion is "The scholarship committee approved the plan." This sentence keeps its action as a verb, 'approved', rather than turning it into a noun form like 'approval' or 'acquisition', which is seen in the other options provided. In contrast, the other sentences use noun forms like 'consideration', 'establishment', and 'acquisition' to describe actions, making them instances of noun conversion.
When working to avoid noun conversion and create clearer sentences, it's essential to make grammatical subjects perform the key actions as verbs. For example, instead of saying 'The scarcity of research funds means that offers may be attractive,' we should revise it to 'Nutritional scientists may find food company offers attractive because of fund scarcity.
To subordinate a sentence, you could take an independent clause like 'Schools educate' and turn it into a dependent clause that is connected to another idea: 'Because schools educate, better funding should be given to schools.'

Team up with a partner and analyze Shakespeare's The Tempest.
You must work independently to create annotations defining and explaining unfamiliar words in two different scenes. Then you will trade scenes, read your partner's annotations, and write a paragraph explaining how your partner's scene reveals Shakespeare's views on colonialism or imperialism.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
• At least 20 annotations that define words modern readers (including your partner) are unlikely to know
• At least two annotations that explain the history, or etymology, of a word
• At least two annotations that explain how to pronounce a word
• A paragraph about your partner's scene that analyzes Shakespeare's message about colonialism or imperialism in The Tempest
The Illusion of Justice
The Tempest tells a fairly straightforward story involving an unjust act, the usurpation of Prospero’s throne by his brother, and Prospero’s quest to re-establish justice by restoring himself to power. However, the idea of justice that the play works toward seems highly subjective, since this idea represents the view of one character who controls the fate of all the other characters. Though Prospero presents himself as a victim of injustice working to right the wrongs that have been done to him, Prospero’s idea of justice and injustice is somewhat hypocritical—though he is furious with his brother for taking his power, he has no qualms about enslaving Ariel and Caliban in order to achieve his ends. At many moments throughout the play, Prospero’s sense of justice seems extremely one-sided and mainly involves what is good for Prospero. Moreover, because the play offers no notion of higher order or justice to supersede Prospero’s interpretation of events, the play is morally ambiguous.
As the play progresses, however, it becomes more and more involved with the idea of creativity and art, and Prospero’s role begins to mirror more explicitly the role of an author creating a story around him. With this metaphor in mind, and especially if we accept Prospero as a surrogate for Shakespeare himself, Prospero’s sense of justice begins to seem, if not perfect, at least sympathetic. Moreover, the means he uses to achieve his idea of justice mirror the machinations of the artist, who also seeks to enable others to see his view of the world. Playwrights arrange their stories in such a way that their own idea of justice is imposed upon events. In The Tempest, the author is in the play, and the fact that he establishes his idea of justice and creates a happy ending for all the characters becomes a cause for celebration, not criticism.
By using magic and tricks that echo the special effects and spectacles of the theater, Prospero gradually persuades the other characters and the audience of the rightness of his case. As he does so, the ambiguities surrounding his methods slowly resolve themselves. Prospero forgives his enemies, releases his slaves, and relinquishes his magic power, so that, at the end of the play, he is only an old man whose work has been responsible for all the audience’s pleasure. The establishment of Prospero’s idea of justice becomes less a commentary on justice in life than on the nature of morality in art. Happy endings are possible, Shakespeare seems to say, because the creativity of artists can create them, even if the moral values that establish the happy ending originate from nowhere but the imagination of the artist.
The Difficulty of Distinguishing “Men” from “Monsters”
Upon seeing Ferdinand for the first time, Miranda says that he is “the third man that e’er I saw” (I.ii.449). The other two are, presumably, Prospero and Caliban. In their first conversation with Caliban, however, Miranda and Prospero say very little that shows they consider him to be human. Miranda reminds Caliban that before she taught him language, he gabbled “like / A thing most brutish” (I.ii.359–360) and Prospero says that he gave Caliban “human care” (I.ii.349), implying that this was something Caliban ultimately did not deserve. Caliban’s exact nature continues to be slightly ambiguous later. In Act IV, scene i, reminded of Caliban’s plot, Prospero refers to him as a “devil, a born devil, on whose nature / Nurture can never stick” (IV.i.188–189). Miranda and Prospero both have contradictory views of Caliban’s humanity. On the one hand, they think that their education of him has lifted him from his formerly brutish status. On the other hand, they seem to see him as inherently brutish. His devilish nature can never be overcome by nurture, according to Prospero. Miranda expresses a similar sentiment in Act I, scene ii: “thy vile race, / Though thou didst learn, had that in’t which good natures / Could not abide to be with” (I.ii.361–363). The inhuman part of Caliban drives out the human part, the “good nature,” that is imposed on him.

A symbol is a person, place, or object that represents something beyond itself. What might the kites at the end of "A Christmas Memory" represent, or symbolize? Give reasons for your interpretation.
Answer:
Explanation:The kite at the end of A Christmas memory symbolizes undying friendship..
Even when Buddy was far apart from his friend they still loved each other and kites have always been a gift they exchange with each other....so the kites stands for love and friendship
The main interpretation that we can give to the kites at the end of the story is that of innocence and friendship. First, the kites represent innocence, because they are an item usually associated with children. We know that both Buddy and his cousin appreciate childhood. Moreover, they also feel the emotions that we associate with childhood (happiness, freedom, relaxation, etc.) strongly. Therefore, their young spirits are represented by the kites. Second, the kites are a gift, and therefore, are a symbol for the strong friendship that Buddy and his cousin share.
Read these lines from Stanza 2 of the poem.
The stout mate thought of home; a spray
Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.
How does the poet's use of the word swarthy affect the poem?
It emphasizes that the mate's face is dark and weathered from the sun and sea.
It suggests that the mate's cheeks are puffy and wet from the sea spray.
It emphasizes that the mate is homesick and the sea spray hides his tears.
It suggests that the mate has been a seaman a long time and his skin is aged.
Answer: It suggests that the mate has been a seaman a long time and his skin is aged.
Explanation:
"My men grow mutinous day by day;
My men grow ghastly wan and weak."
''The stout mate thought of home; a spray
Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.''
In this way he is describing a man who has been sailing for so long and that his skin aged. The writer is suggesting how the seaman spent his life sailing and he aged while he was doing that.
''They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said:
"Why, now not even God would know
Should I and all my men fall dead.
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dead seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Admiral, speak and say" --
He said, "Sail on! sail on! and on!"
Through the poem he is using ''Sail on! Sail on!'' to suggest on the most important thing for the seaman's and how they was doing that every day, night and day. They did not have a brake or holiday, they were sailing for a long period of their lives.
Answer:
The answer is A, It emphasizes that the mate's face is dark and weathered from the sun and sea.
Explanation:
Swarthy means dark skinned. Since the mate has been sailing you can bet the sun has tanned and darkened his face.
