It provides examples of sentences using correlative conjunctions such as "both...and", "not only...but also", "either...or", and "neither...nor". It explains that the two elements connected by correlative conjunctions should be balanced and have parallel structure. The document also discusses subject-verb agreement rules for sentences using correlative conjunctions and avoiding double negatives.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Learning objectives
• to identify structure of correlative conjunctions.
• to indentify the use of correlative conjunctions
• to create a sentence using correlative conjunctions.
10. A. Both my mother and my
sister are here.
B. Not only my mother but also
my sister is here.
C. Not only my sister but also
my parents are here.
D. Neither my mother nor my
sister is here.
E. Neither my sister nor my
brothers are here.
Two subjects connected by
both...and take a plural verb. As
in (A)
When two subjects are
connected by not only... But also,
either...or, neither...nor, the
subject that is closer to the verb
determines whether the verb is
singular or plural.
11. F. The research project will take
both time and money.
G. Adi saw not only a fox in the
woods but also a bear.
H. I’ll take either chemistry or
physics next semester.
I. That book is neither
interesting nor accurate.
Notice the parallel structure in the
example.
The same grammatical form should
follow each part of the paired
conjuctions.
In (F): both + noun + and + noun
In (G) : not only + noun + but also +
noun
In (i) : neither + adjective + nor +
adjective

4. Not only the teacher but also the students___here.
5. Either the students or the teacher ___planning to come.
6. Either the teacher or the students ___planning to come.

22. Correlative Conjunctions
The two elements that correlative conjunctions connect should be balanced..
When Tayla's purse was stolen, she lost not only her money, but also
she lost her cell phone.
(The words "she lost" in the second phrase makes this
unbalanced.)
For example....
When Tayla's purse was stolen, she lost not only her money, but also
she lost her cell phone.
23. Recognize correlative conjunctions
Either ... or, neither ... nor, and not only ...
but also are all correlative conjunctions.
Read these examples:
Phillip will either start classes at the
community college or join the Navy,
They connect two equal grammatical items. If, for example, a
noun follows either, then a noun should also follow or.
24. If you connect two subjects with a correlative conjunction, the second subject must
agree with the verb that follows.
Neither my aunt nor my cousins drinks soda.
(Since cousins is listed second, the verb must agree with
cousins. Cousins is a plural noun, so a plural verb is
required.)
For example....
Neither my aunt nor my cousins drink soda.

25. Correlative Conjunctions
Be careful not to form sentences with double negatives.
I think my grandparents forgot about my birthday. I didn't receive
neither a card nor a gift from them..
(The negative word didn't cannot be used in a sentence with
neither/nor.)
For example....
I think my grandparents forgot about my birthday. I received neither a
card nor a gift from them.
DOUBLE NEGATIVE
CORRECTLY WRITTEN
