Hi, according to me option A is correct and there is a subject verb mismatch in option E. The reason is , in E we have " the devastation and enslavement". Since in sentence "the" is used only once so basically we need to consider that "devastation and enslavement" as s...

I think it should be E.
1. Third vertex can be (4,3) or (0,0)
2. Doesnt help much

It is the distance between (0,0) and (0,2) (use the dist. formula you get answer as 2) How did you get OA as sqrt(2)? OA is given as sqrt(2). I am not clear about the explanation. The mistake in your calculations is that you considered one of the vertex of the square. But the question is asking whi...

Paper Sets. There is no OE. In A, subj doesnt agree with verb (HAS). E makes sense to me. I guess, OA must be wrong.
