Re: The total market value of

Re: Clues to predator-prey dynamics

Hi, Thanks for the explanation. However, my view is that the passage portion in bold is not relevant to the question. Question pertains to "tooth breakage in carnivores found at La Brea". Bold portion below is about comparison between extinct and present-day carnivores The relevant portion...

Re: Political Analyst: Because our city is a border city, illega

Choice B has no effect here, because it only divides the minority group. Under choice B, the 60% majority is still a 60% majority. Choice C removes people from the majority group. Choice E does exactly the same thing"”"”in exactly the same way! With choice E, you simply have to use common...

Re: The javelin has a sharp point, which is more obviously
