Leadership is a trait. Some are born with it, while others acquire it over the years. One cannot force leadership or invent it.



"One cannot force leadership or invent it."

The point is this; Does the writer here mean that the mind comes first not brutality? Also, support your argument with a saying or a verse from the Holy Bible. Thanks in advance!

Jesus accepts you as you are at this very moment. And when you make the choice and say "Yes" to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have the hope of the freedom of a new life that you've never experienced before.


Can I change "never" to "not"? For example, You have not experienced before

That would also make sense yes Though never seems more natural. Using never adds more emphasis, as the sentence is meant to influence someone rather than just state a fact.

Yes, as you said. Now it is clear since I am familiar w/ the following sentence. Again thank you!





Life raises many complex challenges, and the balancing of obligations and prohibitions may require more subtle reasoning, dependent on context.

The phrase can be taken quite literally, it is saying leadership is like a skill, some people are born with that skill, and have a knack or natural aptitude for it while others learn it over the years; therefore one cannot become a leader overnight.

I hope this helps.

Excellent rocket0612 as always! Thanks!

What is the short-cut way to find the best title for a passage? Thanks in advance!

[Odessa]

Annan's six-point plan for peace in Syria was already moribund but his dramatic resignation will serve as its death certificate. It leaves the international community without an effective grip on the most violent chapter of the Arab spring, now morphing into a civil war that has already cost an estimated 20,000 lives.

The pronoun "it" refers to what, and why? Thanks in advance!

It refers to the events of the previous sentence. For example:

I left my sandwiches at home today. It meant that I had nothing to eat for lunch.

I broke my leg when I fell. It resulted in me not being able to play football for a couple of months.

It rained heavily all day yesterday. It led to some areas becoming flooded.

I'm not sure what the technical term is for its use though, maybe someone else can shed some light on it.

Thanks rocket0612 for your help!

Actually I think specifically in this case it refers to the resignation. That's the event in this case

I guess the six point plan would be an object here, though I'm not very good with the correct technical terms for grammar!

"Sit back and enjoy it while it lasts, but don’t take it too seriously."



Paraphrase is needed. May God bless you all!

"Sit back and enjoy it while it lasts, but don’t take it too seriously."

Sit back and enjoy it while it lasts is a common phrase used when it seems one is having a good time because of something that doesn't happen too often and therefore the advice is enjoy it while it lasts. The second bit needs context when seen beside the first bit and I see it used with the fact Romney has visited Israel and has said some stuff and it seems like the reporter is saying it in the context of basically taking his comments with a pinch of salt. Therefore taken both together it would relates to the whole issue of the fact Romney is trying to outdo Obama.

Abbas' "batteries" have run out and he does not have any energy left in the territories, and it seems that even Hamas does not have us at the top of its list of priorities.

What do "batteries" mean? Thanks in advance!

[Odessa]

(Original post by Odessa)
Does (in some sense) mean in other words? Please do help me people

=========

Also, which one is correct?

a. London is located.......
b. London located.........
c. London locates........

(Original post by rocket0612)
No, it has no connection whatsoever to "in other words"



A - London is located

Hope this helps

Excellent!

To many in east London, where the Olympic Park is located, this imposition feels alien. It feels akin to a form of cultural imperialism, out of synch with the true culture, including street art which may be found just a stone's throw from the Olympic Stadium.

What do "batteries" mean?

[Odessa]

Many of London's street artists view themselves as servants to their local communities, and maintain close connections with them. They depend on their communities for patronage and support for wall space.



Is "close" right here a homograph? Since the sound of "s" is different when we use it in different place. In other words, when it comes as a verb. Thanks in advance!
