Technically, Florida only had a few hundred more votes for trump than Biden, but he got all the votes

I have mixed feelings about this

It could be either

That's the right answer! "she". The sentence does not specify who "she" is.

The ambiguity of the English language. “She” is indeed the only correct answe

It's the mother, because the subject of the sentence is the Mother, and it is in an active voice, if it where the daughter, it would be: 'A mother beats up her daughter because the daughter was drunk'

*an expert in English… 🤣

Depends. How old is the daughter? If under 10, mother was drunk. If a teenager, daughter was drunk. If she's in her 20s or older, they both were.

As an ex-English teacher, I would say the answer is 'the daughter'. The clause, 'she was drunk' follows the person it is referring to. If it was the mother, it should have been written, 'A mother, who was drunk, beats up her daughter'. However, the whole sentence reads horribly. Knowing the grammar doesn't mean we know the intent of the writer. He or she could well have meant the mother, as alcohol often leads to violence. Also, the use of the present tense (beats) with the past tense (was) confuses the meaning. Does it happen on a regular basis? If it does, the sentence should be 'A mother beats up her daughter because she is always/a drunk'. If it happened only once, then it should read, 'A mother beat her daughter because she was drunk'. Aahhh, the joys of the English language.

Since I was trained in translation rather than language itself, my answer is "it'd *better be* the mother". We were trained to not use the same pronoun to represent two different person in the same sentence. That means "her" and "she" *would better be* talking about the same person. Since the "her" in "A mother beats up her daughter" is obviously about the mother, that means the "she" later on *would better be" the mother. I have emphasized multiple times, it's "better be". Doesn't mean the speaker actually means so.

The daughter. Her name was Drunk. The D is capitalized (then again this dude has some weird capitalizations).

An ambiguous answer to an ambiguous question.

Which one is named Drunk?? Capitalizing that mid sentence, it has to be a name🤷

This is a common misconception about the English language. Complex sentence structure like this does have rules for proper understanding, but the rules are rarely known. In the event that the dependent clause is descriptive of a noun or pronoun, then the use, or lack of use, of a comma determines the noun or pronoun to whom the dependent clause refers. In this case, due to the lack of a comma, the dependent clause refers to the immediately preceding noun or pronoun. This means that the daughter is the one who was drunk. Had a comma been placed before "because", it would have referred to the mother. The better way to state the latter, however, would be to put the dependent clause at the beginning of the sentence, where it will always refer to the subject.

Punctuation, punctuation, punctuation..

Best answer!

Who name their daughter Drunk?

"Mother" is the object, while "daughter" is the subject. "She" is the mother, thus the mother is drunk.

daughter

Technically correct

Could be grandmother even, if the daughter was left caring for her while mother was out. 🙃

*snort*

A little patchouli oil will cover those smells.

Am I the solid tissues (bones, muscle fibres, membranes...), or the fluids (blood plasma, lymph fluid, cytoplasm...)? Separately neither is me, just a human shaped raisin and several litres of slop!

Workin at the bod wash. Workin at the bod wash yeah

honestly either sounds more fun than the homework i'm putting off

Realistically speaking (given that the rich don't go to prison), first one then the other would be the way to go.

Thus showing that people are natually slightly pessimistic.

Why do I get the horrible feeling this would actually sell?

That is correct.

I still wonder how Arthur's glasses stayed on. I'd of said they strap on like goggles, but the side shots of him said otherwise. hm...

Well iirc Skyrim doesn't have pumpkins (though there could be a mod) and tbh, if you get of your horse in Skyrim it usually finds a way of dying or getting stuck. (my horse once got stuck on top of Froki's Shack. seriously e_e )

It's set in Aghrabah, which doesn't exist. The story originally came from China and made it's way West with trading caravans, so every place imagines Aghrabah as being eastern exotic. Except maybe China.

For me the most important question is do you press the toothpaste from the edge or from the middle? If you press it from the middle you are a monster and don't talk to me!

Did a toddler serve that bowl of mac n cheese?

Nay, nay and thrice nay!

Easy kind of person.

Maybe this will explain...Nothammer is German for emergency hammer. This is in Poland which is next to Germany. For Europeans this makes sense but not if you only know English.

...Lilo and Stitch kind of focused on siblings in a way, too. How Lilo's big sister Nani was so desperate to keep custody of her etc, seeing her "fail" at first is heartbreaking no matter how many times you've seen Lilo and Stitch.

honestly Bayonetta can step on me anyday pft >.>

That's how i answer before my morning coffee (if i answer at all)
