Which sentence uses thrive correctly? I thrive that I do not have another quiz today in my geography course. With all the sunlight and fresh air coming in, the plant will thrive on the windowsill. He did not want to thrive his mother anymore because she was already irritated. The rain came pouring down, creating a thrive in the streets and sidewalks.

With all the sunlight and fresh air coming in the plant will thrive on the windowsill. : )

Explanation:

With all the sunlight and fresh air coming in, the plant will thrive on the windowsill.

Explanation:

The word "thrive" is a little like "live" or "survive", but with eagerness. For example, if a plant thrived on a windowsill, it would live heartily because it was receiving so much sunlight and fresh air.

The other answers don't make sense. "I thrive that I do not have..." if you replace 'thrive' with 'live' the sentence reads, "I live that I do not have..." which is incorrect.

"He did not want to thrive his mother anymore because she was already irritated." Replacing 'thrive' with 'live' becomes, "He did not want to live his mother..." which doesn't make sense.

"The rain came pouring down, creating a thrive in the streets and sidewalks." Again, if you replace 'thrive' with 'live', the sentence becomes, "The rain came pouring down, creating a live..." which doesn't make sense.

Thus, your answer is option 2, "With all the sunlight and fresh air coming in, the plant will thrive on the windowsill."

explanation:

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
