AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the comparison being made between Jack London and Byron at Missolonghi.

Option A) Like Byron - This option is correct because it maintains the parallelism between Jack London and Byron at Missolonghi. The sentence is comparing the experiences of both individuals, suggesting that they were both slowly killed by the mistakes of the medical professionals who treated them.

Option B) Like Byron's death - This option is incorrect because it changes the focus of the comparison to Byron's death specifically, rather than the overall experience of Byron at Missolonghi. It does not maintain the parallelism between the two individuals.

Option C) Just as Byron died - This option is incorrect because it suggests a cause-and-effect relationship, implying that Jack London died in the same way as Byron did. However, the original sentence is comparing their experiences, not the causes of their deaths.

Option D) Similar to Byron - This option is incorrect because it changes the comparison from the experiences of the two individuals to a general similarity between Jack London and Byron. It does not maintain the parallelism between the two individuals.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) Like Byron because it maintains the parallelism between Jack London and Byron at Missolonghi, correctly comparing their experiences.

One of every two new businesses fail within two years.

  1. A. fail

  2. B. fails

  3. C. should fail

  4. D. may have failed


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In this sentence, we are talking about the failure rate of new businesses. The subject "one of every two new businesses" is singular, so we need a singular verb to agree with it.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. fail: This option is incorrect because "fail" is a plural verb and does not agree with the subject "one of every two new businesses."

B. fails: This option is correct. "Fails" is a singular verb that agrees with the subject "one of every two new businesses."

C. should fail: This option is incorrect because it suggests an obligation or recommendation for the businesses to fail, which is not the intended meaning of the sentence.

D. may have failed: This option is incorrect because it implies uncertainty about the failure of the businesses, whereas the sentence presents a general statement about the failure rate.

Therefore, the correct answer is: B. fails.
