Circle the word in parentheses that correctly completes each sentence. 1. Put (a/the) umbrellas in the trunk of the car. 2. I just had to get ( that / those) sneakers! 3. Did you see( the / an) episode we talked about? 4. I have ( this/these) gloves , too. 5. There is (a / the) way to solve every problem. 6. I'll take this and you take ( this/ that).

1-the

2-those

3-the

4-these

5-a

6-that

Explanation:

1-it's 'the' because there is more than 1 umbrella so you couldn't use 'a' in the sentence because that implies there is only 1. Also, 'a' wouldn't work because if it's in front of a vowel it has to change to 'an' so it wouldn't be grammatically correct.

2-sneakers is plural so it would be 'those'. 'That' is used if there is only one.

3-it would be 'the' because if you use 'an' it wouldn't read properly.

4-gloves is plural so you would use 'these'. 'This', again is singular so you would use 'these'.

5-it's 'a' because it is more general like if you use 'the' it would be suggesting theres a specific way.

6-it would be 'that' because if you say 'this' again you would be saying that somebody and you would be taking the same thing.

Hope this helps :)

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
