Answer 3

Definitely A. Since address if like a formal presentation, when a teacher addresses you, it's usually very formal and serious! Haha.

Besides, the others don't fit the definition. But with A,

'He gave a formal speech to the students in a very serious tone' works perfectly!! :D

Answer 4

The Ressling family went on vacation for a week, and _______ mail was picked up by the neighbors.

What pronoun goes in the blank?
A. her
B. their
C. its
D. our

Answer 5

B, as The Ressling Family is a plural noun and talking about them as a neighbor would. Like, if I was in the Ressling family I would say 'our' mail.

Answer 8

Well, I'd say D. Because they similarly use rocks and such which is true.

B would work too grammatically, but doesn't make sense. Same with C.

So, I vote D.

Answer 9

The stars shine _______ in the country than in the city.

Which word or phrase best completes the sentence above?
A. radiantliest
B. most radiantly
C. radiantlier
D. more radiantly

Answer 10

Definitely not A or C. Those aren't words. :P

I think it should be D because it's comparing the country and the city, saying the country is brighter for stars, which is true.

It could be B, but I still am leaning towards D. It sounds more proper.

Answer 12

@Destinymasha

Answer 13

If you want a good, valid source, you usually want to lean towards something un-biased. I think the best one would be A as that's direct source from the developer of the vaccine.

B doesn't apply

C is too recent

D is not about the vaccine.
