Answer:
Hi. The answer to this is a bit complex so you can find it under the explanation
Explanation:
Everyone acts differently; some people face many emotional, physical, and mental problems during adolescence, and others do not experience these things.
Answer: a) this is a verb phrase.
Explanation:
A verb phrase is that part of the sentence that contains a verb and it's dependants. The Dependent is usually a helping/auxillary verb that comes before the main verb to 'help' the verb make it's point.
Such verbs include, am, will, would, does, and could.
In this case the verb phrase would be, "will meet" with will being the Helping Verb and Meet being the main verb.
It is worthy of note that some times there will be more than one helping verb though such as 'had been' in "had been watching television"
Question 1:
Humorous passage 1: "It (the umbrella) was made to be carried on the arm like an enormous ornamental bat and to allow one the opportunity to put on British airs as the atmospheric conditions demanded."
Humorous passage 2: "(The umbrella is) An item to be carried in the street, to be used to startle friends and—in the worst of cases—to fend off one’s creditors."
Question 2:
Passage 1 is funny because it compares the umbrella to an ornamental bat, which sounds weird in the first place. Plus, the umbrellas is said to be used by people who want to seem British, which is even more outrageously funny.
Passage 2 is funny because it treats the umbrella as a scary object which can be used even to fend off people you owe money to, which is absurd.
In both passages, the author uses tone and voice in a very witty way: he speaks seriously about absurdity, about unimaginable stuff. It is like an encyclopedia of weird and fun facts. That is what makes it funny: the contrast between a serious tone and larger than life images.
I don’t know sorry hope u get an answer though!
