Answer:

In what way?

Explanation:

An adjective is a type of word that modifies or describes a noun (a place, thing, person, animal, event). So, questions like How many? What kind? or Which one? will help us identify the noun an adjective modifies in a sentence because their answers provide for the adjective. Examples:

1. Two cats are lying beside me.

How many cats are lying beside me? Two = Adjective.

2. Books that are written in a simple way are my favorite

What kind of books is your favorite? Those that are written in a simple way = adjective.

3. Do not wear the brown shirt today

Which shirt should you not wear today? The brown one.

However, the question In what way? does not provide us with information about either the adjective nor the noun it describes, instead, it provides us information about an adverb.

1. I entered the room carefully.

In what way did you enter the room? Answer: Carefully (Carefully is an adverb, not an adjective).

diamong [38]

Answer:

Antigone is a very stubborn character. However, her motives are good. She wants to make sure her brother is treated respectfully in death. But (no than) she disobeys the king's orders too. She is not willing to except treating Polyneices badly because of choices he made while living, which is why he was killed in the first place. Rather than follow the king's wishes, she follows her heart. Which gets her into trouble. She doesn't care, though. She excepts her sentence of death and does not waver.

what does the quote "today a reader, tomorrow a leader" mean, and what could i write an essay about it on?

JulijaS [17]

Basically, it's similar to "the student becomes the teacher". One day, you'll start out learning how to write essays, and in the future, you might teach others how to do it. It means that the more you learn and experience, the more knowledge you'll be able to pass onto someone else.

You could write an essay that argues that the more you learn and experience, the more you'll have to teach, and include examples of people who contributed to accomplishments in history and that they too began as a "learner" and not the teacher or the master they're considered.
