Education & Reference - 25 September 2007

Can you tell me whether i have to use "shows" or "show" in these sentences below and why.

the national museum is now displaying a collection of ancient bones that < > the link between man and animals.

what should i use singular form or plural form if i use " a variety of"


I'm wondering because i was taught to use plural form in the case of using "a number of something" but to use singular form in the case of the number of something

ex : a number of students driving are increasing
the number of students driving is less than before..

I've heard this from 2 people now in the past day, and it kind of pisses me off. Yes, I realize there are other forms of transportation, like the bus. But why do most colleges not want you to drive during freshman year?

I understand it's a insurance liability, but the way I see it, if I have a car that's parked outside of campus, it's no one's business or problem but mine. So what gives?

I don't know the answer to this, so I guess we will have to vote for the correct answer.

Good Luck

I was also humbled by my patients' expressions of gratitude for helping them.

Is humbled the right word? Is there a better word?

I have been told that the lesson should be about health and fitness but as a student teacher I am not allowed to do any physical activity with them so an alternative PE lesson is out of the question. Does anybody have any ideas?

At the high school band's annual spaghetti dinner, the members served 210 dinners and collected $935. The band leader did not designate which ticket was an adult or child dinner. You need to know that to prepare the correct amount of food and for future planning. Each adult dinner cost $6 and each child's dinner cost $3.50.

Let a = number of adult dinners
Let c = number of child dinners

When I attended college my student loans were put in my fathers name.

Now that I have graduated, I would like to take over the payments.

The loan company (Nelnet) won't let us and say we have to either make payments to my parents or get a personal loan to cover it.
My husband and I are considering the latter.

Any advice??
