Answer:

1. Obliterate

2. Old

3. Cleft

4. Decadent

5. Tear

6. Clamorous

Explanation:

1. To annihilate is to destroy something, kill completely.  To Annihilate is to get rid of something completely. For example: genocide has the purpose to annihilate (get rid of) human beings who are different, belong to a certain religion or sect.  It came from the Late Latin word: "annihilatus" meaning "reduced to nothing", While obliterate means to in Latin to: "struck out", meaning "Trying something with multiple attempt but fail". Anihialate is the action of destroying completely, while obliterate is the action to attempt in annihilation, but, failing multiple times. [Have to try till you get rid of]

2. Antiquity is the past, usually referring before the Middle Ages. While old is something in particular that has aged, has much age.

3. Fissure is an opening on the Earth, it can happen during earthquakes or volcano eruptions. A crack. While cleft is when something is partially divided in two.

4. Dissolution is to have lack of morals referring in a religious manner or society. For example: Having a child before being married is something of great shame in the religious community, in society its normal. Even so, people who are not religious can also have these morals and look bad upon children who are a "bas-ta-rd", a child that was produced out of wed-lock. While decadent is someone who shows a decline in morals, the person is aware of the morals but they themselves "choose" to decline the moral and cultural norms and rules. For example: The U.S prohibits marriage of two or more people. Those who do it disobey the law.

5. Rending is to tear something into two or more pieces. Rending is not done in force, you can tear a piece of paper calmly. To tear is to rip something with force, for example: "He tore with his teeth the flesh upon her skin into two pieces".

6. Tumultuous is to make a loud and confusing noise while clamorous is a racket, its a noise made to be heard or to cause confusion. In Latin it means to "cry out".

umka21 [38]
This is what the passive version of this sentence would look like:
The statue of David was sculpted by the famous artist and sculptor Michelangelo in Italy in the early 1500s.
In English, usually the word that is placed in the beginning of a sentence is the most prominent one, and the most important one as well. It is where the emphasis of the sentence is. Having this in mind, the best reason for the writer to revise this sentence to be in the passive voice is to emphasize <u>the statue.</u>

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Ok here are my answers...

Explanation:

I would say whatever challenge they have physically or mentally, or what they have to overcome during the story.

It can be internal mostly, because it is something mentally to overcome. External would be Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, or maybe Man vs. Society.

The conflict would be when things start to go awry or be more interesting. The sensory details could commit some more drama to the conflict depending on what the conflict is.

I hope this helps. I did not see the narratives that you were talking about, but I did my best. :)
