lidiya [134]1 year ago
4 0

Answer:

He could simply pick up his two boxes and leave the key with the next-door neighbor. He would not have to face his parents and their angry comments, the small guilt-making jabs, 'after all they had done', giving up his job, 'such good prospects', to hide himself away 'in the depths of beyond', as they put it

Read the following excerpt from Robinson Crusoe.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A. The captain.

Explanation:

In Chapter XXVI of <em>Robinson Crusoe</em> by William Defoe, Robinson Crusoe saw a ship come towards his island and along with that, three captives being led to the island. On further investigation, he found out that the <em>"three prisoners"</em> were actually part of the ship's actual men, one of them being the captain of the ship. He even told Crusoe that he <em>"was commander of that ship, [his] men have mutinied against [him]"</em>.

So, the man <em>"with tears running down his face, and  trembling" </em>was the captain of the ship. He told Crusoe how his men had mutinied against him and two of his men, and were now captives at the hands of the mutineers. Thus, the given passage or lines is a description of the captain who was happy and grateful to Crusoe for coming to their aid and saving their lives from the captors.

earnstyle [38]

1. The American flag: symbolism

Symbolism refers to objects, traits, colors, animals, etc (anything with a physical existence) that stand for one meaning or several that are different from the actual meaning of the form of that physical "thing" or living being. For many, the American flag acts as a symbol of liberty and patriotism.

2. It was spring in the year 1930 and few of us had much hope left: setting

Setting refers to the time and place in which the story takes place. This sentence is an example of setting because it sets the time period: spring in the year 1930.

3. Boy meets girl; they fall in love; and get married: plot

The plot is the main events of a play, novel or film, that are related to each other in a sequence, such as in the given segment.

In literature, conflict is a clash, disagreement or struggle between two opposing groups or individuals, that often keeps the reader interested in the story.

Create a dialogue for 2 women, which should include the following topics:
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

S: Hello Kate, How are you?

K: Fine, sorry that I make you wait so long. There was a lot of traffic.

S: Oh yes! I noticed. Take a seat. I've already ordered you a coffee.

K: Thanks! Did you hear the rumor?

S: Apparently Tom was fired. He didn't quit his job.

K: I don't believe that's true. I knew that he wanted to spend the summer in Europe, and he saved enough money to do it.

S: I wish I had enough money to travel too. I spent all my savings on a new car.

K: Yes, that would be nice. At least you have a new car, and you can travel around the country. If I had enough money, I would buy a house on the beach and spend all the weekends there.

S: Now that you've mentioned the beach, I'm planning to go to the beach this weekend, would you like to come?

K: I'm sorry, I have plans.

S: That's alright. We'll leave it for the next month.

K: Cool. We could invite Megan. She loves the beach.

S: of course, and we can also tell Lily, she is such a funny person. There isn't a dull moment with her.

K: You're right, She is always telling jokes and doing silly things, but also she cooks an amazing lasagna. Have you tried her lasagna?

S: No, why have you? Now I'm jealous.

K: She gave it to me as a present for my birthday because the real one got lost in the mail.

S: She has a secret recipe that only the members of her family know.

K: I will try to get the recipe. Maybe her mom will give it to me.

S: I don't think so. It was given to Susan by her grandmother under the promise of not telling the secret ingredient to anyone.

K: I will try to get it anyways.

S: Look at the time!. I have to go. I need to study for an exam.

K: Ok, good luck! See you soon.

Explanation:

The relative clause in the dialogue is: "She has a secret recipe that only the members of her family know." It is a defining relative clause object-related since it is talking about the recipe.

The second conditional with "wish" is: "I wish I had enough money to travel." The second conditional expresses something impossible to happen in the present, but you desire it to happen. The second conditional consists of the subject + wish + past perfect.

The second conditional with "if" is: "If I had enough money, I would buy a house on the beach." In this case, we use if instead of wish, and the sentence has a second part with would. If+ past perfect,+Would+ present.

The passive voice is: "Tom was fired" and "It was given to Susan by her grandmother." In the first case, we omit the person who fired Tom. We didn't use the by phrase.

To turn an active sentence into a passive one: we have to move the direct object to the subject position and add an auxiliary before the verb, which has to be in the past.
