"'Kill him! Kill the umpire!' shouted someone on the stand;/And it's likely they'd have killed him had not Casey raised his hand."

These two lines best show that the desire to win at all costs makes people act desperately. In these lines the crowd has asked for the umpire's life out of desperation. They do not agree with the decisions he is making and think that the umpire will be the one to cost them the game so they start acting irrationally out of desperation.

Which one of the following is a correct example of the plural possessive case?
andre [41]
You forgot the options!

but let's assume that these could be the options, as posted before

<span>A. stone's throw
B. men's plans
C. it's place
D. women's plans

maybe it will help if i discuss those: A, C, and D are not plural possessive: for this the noun has to be in plural.

In contrast, B: "men"  is a plural noun. This is also the correct option. So for a plural possessive, the noun itself needs to be in plural.

hope this helped! if you want, comment with your options and i will comment back.

Is this personification? The sun was extending a warm hug with his morning rays.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Yes it is, because personification means when something that is not a human, does something that only humans can. THe sun was hugging. Suns cant actually hug, they just used personification for a play-on-words. A sun isnt human, and it is doing something a human can. THerefor yes, it is personification
