Answer:
Is
Explanation:
The simple rule is that "is" is present tense and "was" is past tense. If it's happening now, you use "is". If it happened in the past, you use "was".
But yes, you quickly run into problems like the example you cite. If you are describing someone's status in relation to a specific past event, that status will presumably exist forever.
If you said, "John is the tallest man in the room", that indicates he is the tallest man in the room RIGHT NOW. Of course "now" here means "at the time this statement was made. If I said this an hour ago, and then a taller man entered the room, you wouldn't say that my statement is false. It was true when I said it. But if a taller man enter the room, and THEN I say, "John is the tallest mean in the room", this is false. He was an hour ago, but he isn't now. If I said, "John was the tallest man in the room at 8:00", that statement would be true forever.
But when you are talking about a specific event that occurred at a specific time and place, a status associated with that event lasts forever. If I said, "John is the winner of the Tallest Man in the Room Contest of 2015", that is true forever. He was the winner of that contest in 2015. In 2016 or 2017 or 3017, he will still be the winner of the 2015 contest.
Still, once the event is past, we usually phrase it in the past tense. We don't say, "George Washington is the first president of the United States", because he isn't president any more. We say "George Washington WAS the first president."
In the case of "two-time nominee", that refers to a status the person has now, no matter how you look at it. She has been nominated twice. The two times may both be long ago, maybe she was nominated in 1962 and in 1973. But she still has the status of having been nominated two times.
It reminds me of the time a politician came to speak at my high school, and the principal introduced him as "a former graduate of Northport High School". When he got up to speak he said, "I thought I still was a graduate." For of course he was. He was a graduate the day they gave him his diploma, and he will remain a graduate the rest of his life.
Once someone dies, we usually refer to any status they had as past tense. When the two-time nominee dies, people will say, "She was a two-time nominee", not "She is ..." Likewise when I die, people will say "He was a graduate of Northport High School", not "he is ..." (Assuming anyone had any reason to talk about me at all!)

A lot of people consider gardening to be a relaxing exercise. If you’re new to gardening, you may want to hold off that visit to the gardening supply store. Most of the items you need for your garden are available in your kitchen. Instead of buying chemical fertilizer or soil boosters, mix some crushed eggshells with the soil. They are rich in calcium and boost the mineral content of your soil. You can even mix the soil with some Epsom salt to add sulfate and magnesium to your garden soil. You can recycle some of your kitchen waste as fertilizers too. Banana peels, vegetable stock, coffee grounds, remains of fish, and other meat can be mixed to make compost for the soil.

Sensory description: the use of words and phrases that appeal to the five senses. What details in lines 641-652 appeal to the reader's sense of sight, touch, and smell?
Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered with specificity. However, I will help you in the best possible way.
The details in your text that best appeal to the author's five senses are descriptive details, which through the strong use of adjectives create very clear mental images, exposing the appearance, fullness, sound and texture of something. It is these adjectives that will stimulate one of the five senses of the reader.
An exploitation of this is the phrase "the smell was pungent and strong enough to be disgusted." The adjectives "poignant", "strong" and "disgusted" stimulate the reader's sense of purpose.

what should be done to conserve our culture
Answer:
The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. Gather as a group not just for holidays, but for ordinary meals, events, or just conversation. Many aspects of culture are difficult to learn in books and museums, including etiquette, body language, and humor. Whether or not you share your parents' and grandparents' religion, studying it can help you understand their culture. Religion connects to language, history, and personal behavior. Becoming more familiar with your or your family's religion can help you understand all these other aspects. If you know someone who shares your culture but has a different native tongue than yourself, ask them to teach you. Many linguists and anthropologists argue that language shapes our whole perception of the world. Plus, if the language is rare in your area, nobody will be able to eavesdrop on your conversations!
