Which sentence in which the word in the capitalized type is used incorrectly 1. a. The cobots and the Lowells, proper Bostonians, always demonstrated the HUMANITIES at there afternoon teas. B. The sciences are not classified as HUMANITIES C. The HUMANITIES courses for freshmen include art and music history D. New technology often draws more financial support then do the HUMANITIES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what im asking is where is Humanities used wrongly in these sentences

OpenStudy (nobodyssalvation):

It should be the first sentence. Humanities refers to the subject, so the others all use it in the correct terms, whereas the first one does not.

OpenStudy (kaylee_td):

Any guesses?

OpenStudy (kaylee_td):

Never mind...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Humanities; Branches of knowledge concerned with human beings and their culture: Philosophy,Literature, and the fine arts, as distinguished from the sciences

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is what my book says..?

OpenStudy (nobodyssalvation):

Exactly, that has no connection with the way its used in the first sentence.

Oh I see it now. Sorry, thank you
