When the group of _____ boarded the ship for a cruise to ______, they were unaware of what lay in store for them.
First of all, the captain announced: "_______________."

And as though THAT wasn't bad enough, they found out that a ______ had been spotted!!
Needless to say, the next time they book a cruise it will NOT be through the company, "______________." The name alone should have been a warning of things to come!!

composite? It has to have a clear context clue. Do the verb form, adjective, or noun for, it doesn't matter.

It all started w/ the movie Pan's Labyrinth and it's actually some that's brought up quite often where I work.

I say Lab-er-inth since there is clearly an N in there but like the english language is some things are just silent, which is the other argument and is the reason I'm always hounded. I'm constantly told that it is Lab-ryth. It sounds more like they're saying Lab-breath. I don't care about being wrong I just want to know the correct way to say it. Are there words that bother you?

Ok, well I'm writing a persuasive essay for my English 9 Intensive class and it can be on anything that could possibly be argued. Mine is that Freddie Mercury is the Best Showman Ever.
Anyway,
I have two places where I need help finding the right words.

1. The context: 'Freddie Mercury looked like a typical, conceited rock star, often being quoted as saying things like 'I don't like the way my teeth protrude. Apart from that, I'm perfect', but as my essay proves, he was much more than that. Freddie was ____' That blank is where I'm looking for a word.
I'm trying to say that Freddie was charismatic and may have been self-assured but was far from conceited, that he was human and knew it.

2. The context: He was able to admit his faults and knew that he was human, he admitted to being afraid of being alone at night, being afraid of water, not being able to drive and not knowing how to use the microwave, yet Freddie sang and wrote like (a) _____'
I was going to say 'like a god' but thing

Love overlooks imperfections; it doesn’t recognize religion or race, after all, love is blind.

I just don't like the flow. Change words, rearrange them, whatever.
Thanks, you guys are always such big help! =]

I am writing a theme (paper) for my Comp 1 class, and in it I have a company's name I will be abbreviating. When referring to something that company did, would I write "DTCs actions" or "DTC's actions" ? I think it is apostrophe s, but I am not sure.

Thanks!

It is the letter c with a horizontal line directly above it. I have seen it a few times and believe it means "with" given the context of when I saw it used but I want to be sure.
