Read the following paragraph from John Muir's "The Calypso Borealis" and pay close attention to the words in bold. In one paragr

aph of three to five sentences, explain Muir's use of diction and the mood his choice of words creates. Use proper spelling and grammar in your response. The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt.

<span>The words he has chosen which are "difficult, force, crooked, struggling, tangled, fallen, fear, faint, and hungry", shows that he is going through quite a scary and tricky time, but it was hard for him to pass that swamp, and you can see he chose excellent words on how his journey was like. Plus the words " struggling, fear, and hungry", shows what difficulty he is going through and you as the reader imagine yourself in that position and you would feel it all scary on how he is experiencing it.</span>

Which word correctly completes the sentence? 
vichka [17]
Im guessing its B, Because it just makes more sense! I went in there and read it aloud using both words (A and B) B made more sense. With an object being measured, such as a lemon, to make a quart of lemon juice, Id say you'd use the word number. Amount is not a word used for an object or measurement.

This sentence is written in the imperative mood. How can it be rewritten in the conditional mood? Go to the store for bread and
Blababa [14]

Answer:

I could get bread and milk at the store if you gave me money.

Explanation:

On condition that he is given money he would be able to go and buy bread and milk . The author is showing his willingness to go and buy bread and milk but only on the condition that he is given money. The unavailability of money is the only factor that is limiting him from doing so. A conditional mood is the form of a verb which is used to make requests or expression of under what condition something would happen.
