The correct answer is D.Tiger sharks, which are voracious eaters, eat fish, seals, birds, and even old tires.

Explanation:

In grammar, an appositive phrase is a set of words that renames or provides information about a noun or pronoun that is placed before the appositive phrase, because of this, it is common appositive phrases are separated from the rest of the sentence by commas and are placed after the noun or pronoun they rename.

In the case of the two sentences presented "Tiger sharks are voracious eaters" and "They eat fish, seals, birds, and even old tires" the set of words or appositive phrase that renames or describes the main noun and subject "Tiger sharks" is "are voracious eaters", because of this the sentence that combines the two previous sentences by using an appositive is "Tiger sharks, which are voracious eaters, eat fish, seals, birds, and even old tires", considering in this sentence the use appositive to rename the noun is correct and the information of both sentences is included.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. ‘you make me feel uncivilized, daisy,’ i confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. ‘can’t you talk about crops or something? ’ i meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. ‘civilization’s going to pieces,’ broke out tom violently. ‘i’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. have you read ‘the rise of the coloured empires’ by this man goddard? ’ ‘why, no,’ i answered, rather surprised by his tone. ‘well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. it’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.’ in this passage, tom’s ideas about race relations come off as uncivilized. what literary device is fitzgerald using here?
