Answer:
The best answer for the question: What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt, would be, A: trapped.
Explanation:
Trapped is defined as being held, or captured, restrained or entrapped by something or someone. Essentially, it means that a person´s, or something, freedom, is limited due to something tying it, or them, down. When the speaker in this excerpt says that "Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER", he is making allusion to the fact that binding, or being bound, is like talking about being limited, withheld from their right to be free and to choose their own fates and the way they are governed. Because he uses the word "bound" as a form to talk about limitations, and being held back, especially from freedom, and then makes allusion to this being equal to slavery, then the best option to choose from to answer the question would be A: trapped, which essentially presents the same idea as "bound" would.
Answer:
The objective complement in the sentence is: frightened.
Explanation:
An objective complement can be defined as a noun, an adjective, or a pronoun that complements the meaning of the verb and, at the same time, modifies the verb's direct object.
Let's apply the definition above to the sentence "The last scene left the audience frightened." The verb is "left" and its meaning is completed by "audience frightened." To find the direct object, we can ask the verb a question. The scene left what or who? The audience. But notice that this is not enough. Something is missing. The audience was left what? Frightened. Thus, the adjective "frightened" is modifying "audience" and completing the meaning the meaning of the verb.
