Answer:
Fantasy
Explanation:
The characters are named Lady Ardwinkle and Sir Gawain, making it seem as if this takes place in the Middle Ages. Sir Gawain also talks about killing a dragon, which is a fictional monster that is often associated with fantasy works. If it had been a romance, detective, or coming of age story, it would've been an almost completely different story.
I hope this helps
Answer: B. He is, for the first time, aware of the world as a bleak and savage place.
Explanation:
Pip heard a terrible voice only after he began to cry, so D is not a correct choice. His parents and brothers had died a long time before the event described in the excerpt (so B would be wrong). Pip was not lost on the marshes (so C would be wrong). The answer would be A.
Here is support in the text:
My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for certain, that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip Pirrip, late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were also dead and buried; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard, intersected with and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that the low leaden line beyond, was the river; and that the distant savage lair from which the wind was rushing, was the sea; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and beginning to cry, was Pip."
Explanation:
Well, there could be many reasons. First off, there are many different historical and cultural differences between Shakespeare's time and modern times that a modern student doesn't pick up on, doesn't understand.
Second, you simply have to take into account the fact that, with modern technology, students' attention spans have gotten so bad that simply reading Shakespeare plays is "too boring" for them.
Modern students want quick answers, a bubble they can circle on a multiple choice test type of answer. Interpreting Shakespearean plays requires thought and critical thinking, things that, I'm sorry, but no students seem to use nowadays.
Also, there is the small fact that, especially amongst teenage males, things like plays and reading Shakespeare are labeled as feminine or "gay".
Hi,
An independent clause can function as a sentence by itself.
A dependent clause contains subject, and verb, but also contains a dependent marker such as: while, when, because, if, or as.
One way to punctuate a compound sentence correctly is to join the two independent clauses with a semicolon. You can also use a comma and a subordinating conjunction.<span>
