The remains of the pharaoh (is, are intact, and the wrappings of the mummy (contain, contains clues about his life. which verbs correctly complete the sentence? are, contain are, contains is, contains is, contain

The remains of the pharaoh are intact, and the wrappings of the mummy contain clues about his life.

We need to use "are" instead of "is" is because the verb to be is referring to the remains. Therefore, it needs to be a plural verb to go with the noun. Likewise, we need to use contain instead of contain because it referrs to wrappings. In the present tense, we only add -s to the verb if we are talking about he, she, or it.

his tongue, i believe, was bloody and hanging out of his mouth.

he looked as if he were hungry.

he has several wolf-like qualities; a gray coat, sharp claws and yellow fangs.

those eyes made me feel, dear reader, like the end was near.

as i reached for a stick, he moved to the other side of the hill.

panting and hungry, he looked at me, a defenseless human and he snarled.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off. 

the answer is b, it brings the reader closer to the action.

it would've been a if the word had been determined, not conceited

hope this
