In the following, is "that" optional? He had some money in an account **that** he'd set aside for his kids.
MUCH, MANY, and A LOT

“My account has a 20 dollar credit ON it.” “I put 20 dollars IN my account.” Are prepositions correct here?

What accent and age do I sound like?
Chapter 1, It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.

We’re arguing over the answer help us.
Help. We are in a disagreement over this. So me and my friend are arguing over the answer to this reading comprehension The Glory, a popular K-drama about a woman who seeks revenge on the classmates who seriously bullied her as a teen, returns to Netflix today with its final eight episodes. Bullying is common in Korea, where suicide has been the number one cause of death for young people since 2007. In 2004, Korea passed a law called The Special Act on School Violence Prevention, following the deaths of several teenagers by suicide after they were bullied. However, according to this Korea Times article, bullying is still a big problem. The Glory is based on what happened in 2006, at a girls' school in Cheongju, Korea. At that time, three ninth-grade girls bullied their classmate for 20 days. They burned her skin with a curling wand. That made her stay in the hospital for six weeks. Besides getting hurt in body, people who are bullied at school also experience psychological trauma, which can follow them even after they grow up. In Episode 6 of the series, after the main character hears the sound of meat on a grill, which brings back bad memories, she feels nervous, worried, and scared. Kim Eun-sook, the writer of The Glory, thinks most of the people who are bullied can't deal with the problem because they don't have rich parents. So, she writes The Glory and hopes the main character's vengeance is successful. Do you want to know how it ends? You should watch it yourselves! Why does the author write the glory? (A) She wants to tell the truth about bullying (B) She wants those who are bullied to feel better (C)She wants those who o are bullied to become bullies. (D) She wants those who are bullied to stop being angry I personally think that (A) is the correct option because the emphasis in this article is more about the impacts of bullying and “ Kim Eun-sook, the writer of The Glory, thinks most of the people who are bullied can't deal with the problem because they don't have rich parents. So, she writes The Glory…….” I feel like option B may be a part of the reason why but this argument isn’t really supported by the article and isn’t really the main emphasis here so I would think that A would be a better answer than B Do you guys agree with me or disagree?
What's the difference between DATS and DOA?
I know they stand for Dead At The Scene and Dead On Arrival, respectively, but what's the difference between the two?
Need help understanding these sentences.
"I knew you would be with a pros and cons list on each person because I knew you would never have one." There's no context, but could anyone tell me what "I knew would never have one" means?
“My maintenance required light was gone for a while, but I came up again yesterday .” Does this sound natural? How would native speakers put it? Thanks.

Is there a rule about where to place "by + agent" in a passive sentence?
I wonder if there is any rule that make the position of "by + agent" is always wrong? Or it can be placed anywhere (from after the verb to the end of the sentence)?
We'll be traveling in breaks for this trip of 7 days via road.
Is it correct to say the *in breaks* part while explaining to a brand of hotel if they've hotels along a long route from north to centre of India? I wanted to tell this person since it's impossible to cover 1200kms in one day so we'll be taking break after 500kms. We're planning a trip and for this reason I'm forming the itinerary. Actually, I recently found the meaning of *in* as shown in the picture and thus used it the way I did with the hotel management over call. I keep experimenting with English as I want to sound natural and flexible. I've hackneyed *taking break* phrase to a point that I feel that I sound dull. And natives are welcome to advice any other sentences to speak in this situation. Also, let me know my mistakes in this post. Thanks as always!
