Answer:
<em>There are many “Tom Smiths” in the Manhattan phone book.</em>
Explanation:
Although using plural for proper nouns may seem strange since it's not common in everyday speech, there is an established set of rules that deals with it. When we talk about two-word personal proper nouns, the most important rules are as follows:
- only the second word is used to make plural form
- in most cases adding "s" is the correct way
- if proper nouns end with "s" or "z" then we need to add "es" to make proper plural form (one Patty Mills, three Patty Millses)
So, with this in mind, the correct answer would be adding "s" on the second word (Tom Smiths)
Answer:
The words and phrases from the excerpt that best reflect Chopin's connotative style are: <em>cramped, tottered, and clutching feebly.</em> <u>The correct answer is the third one.</u>
Explanation:
This group of words and phrases reflect the author's style because <u>they have strong connotations.</u> When reading those words and phrases, we can feel what the character is feeling in our own body. It is like we, ourselves, are living what is being described in the story. This means <u>those words have strong connotations because they invoke a feeling for the reader</u>; we don't just read those words and pass them by, we really feel what they describe. Those are strong adjectives and specially selected words and phrases. <u>The author is known for using language to authentically describe the actions described, this is her style.</u>
