How does the dedication influence your understanding of this memoir’s purpose?

Plato Answer

Explanation:

The dedication reflects Shackleton's wish to publicize the daring expedition and the spirit of cooperation that helped the crew members meet their challenges. In the face of some of the men's deaths in war not long after overcoming their Antarctic ordeal, Shackleton probably felt an even stronger desire to celebrate their triumph against adversity.

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)

the words “strangest” and “unusual” suggest that the narrator is about to tell the story of an odd or puzzling group of people.
