15. Read the paragraph and choose a sentence that describes it best. People have considered the possibility that the missing colonists could have assimilated into nearby Native American tribes since at least 1605. If this integration was successful, the assimilated colonists would gradually exhaust their European supplies (ammunition, clothing) and discard European culture (language, style of dress, agriculture) as Algonquian lifestyle became more convenient. Colonial era Europeans observed that many people removed from European society by Native Americans for substantial periods of time—even if captured or enslaved—were reluctant to return; the reverse was seldom true. Therefore, it is reasonable to postulate that, if the colonists were assimilated, they or their descendants would not seek reintegration with subsequent English settlers.

a) The English colonists most certainly assimilated into Native American tribes, leaving their culture behind
b) The Native American culture is superior to English, as a little few Englishmen returned once assimilated
c) The English colonists assimilated with the Native Americans because their supplies of clothes, ammunition etc., exhausted
d) Once integrated into another culture, assimilated people feel disdain to their roots.

15. d.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The correct answer would be _b_ as themselves is used after the subject pronoun. Bruce and Sarah are two individuals, so by saying herself, himself, or itself, that would be referring to one person not two.

2. The correct answer would be _a_ as had already landed represents the continuous past tense of the sentence. The sentence was already determined as a past tense question when it mentioned, "when" and "got."

3. The correct answer would be _b_ as giving it back makes the most sense based on the context clues from the next sentence when it mentions, "one should expect to return the favor."

4. The correct answer would be _c_ as had been is logical based on the sentence's past tense. The sentence features this past tense when mentioning, "wish." Typically when there is a sentence with with, the word had usually is associated with it.

5. The correct answer would be _b_ as prevent makes the most sense based on the context of the sentence.

6. The correct answer would be _b_ as hope flows well with sentence, and the word, "will" associates the future tense. The further context, "I really want to see her," give a reason why the individual hopes she will come to the party.

7. The correct answer would be _b_ as, "so I don't wake up," flows with sentence, using I as a subordinating conjunction to introduce clauses of result or decision. Examples of subordinating conjunctions are after, although, as, as if, because, before, how, if, since, so, than, though, unless, until, when, where and while. The, "I don't wake up," part helps identify the reason as well as accurately using I (identify user) and the compound word don't, to justify grammar.

8. The correct answer would be _a_. All the money in the world... is the most logical answer based on the context that the person hates being here, meaning they are unsatisfied. So despite the size of something, and the example given was money in the world, the person won't stay due to their hate for the city.

9. The correct answer would be _b_. That is a recognizable phrase, where what is logical based on the context. If used the other choices/words, it wouldn't make sense in correlation to grammar.

10. The correct answer would be _a_. The sentence is present tense based on the word, "now." And based on the context of needing a rest, the most suitable word would be exhausting.

11. The correct answer would be _b_. The sentence is present tense based on the date, and with a prior sense of history and science, Marie Curie discovered radiation on April 20, 1902.

12.The correct answer would be _c_. You use the apostrophe s ('s) after the second name if two people possess the same thing.

13. The correct answer would be _a_. Conduct is the most logical based on the context of the sentence.

14. The correct answer would be _b_. Such a, makes the most sense with the context of the sentence. If used other choices, it wouldn't be logical.

15. d) Once integrated into another culture, assimilated people feel disdain to their roots.
