Answer:
'The mercenaries fought for as long as they were paid, not just the 40 days a year that knights fought.'
Explanation:
This supports the statement that hired soldiers would fight for longer than knights would. They had motivation which was currency in exchange for their participation in battle/war. The knights on the other hand were only required a certain amount of days. It was not stated whether they were paid or not, but I can assume that they were not which would make one--specifically--a knight reluctant to go to battle. Therefore, hired soldiers did the work the knights were reluctant to do.
The main way dramatic tension is built is the clues that Boo gives, making him interesting, but it can also be frightening.
Also, the incidents that pop up in the story also builds up dramatic tension.
This shows how much Claudius cares about being King and holding onto his throne.
He knows that the public loves Hamlet, which is why he can't just arrest him for the murder of Polonius, he has to be much sneakier and trickier than that, otherwise the public will take Hamlet's side and Claudius will lose support.
Out of all given option, "Evan wanted nothing more than to cook for his friends and family", the sentence contains a particle.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
A particle refers the word which possesses grammatical functionality but would not match the main parts (i.e. adverb, verb and noun). The particles will not vary. For example, “To” an infinitive with verb as “to fly” is an example for particle, even it acts as a preposition, like "I am going to America next week."
Many words described as particles, e.g. Sayings such as "but" and "and", and pronunciations such as "oh" and "wow". Particles often occur when teaching phrasal verbs that can be grouped by particle for educational purposes, such as Off, On, and more. According to the above detail, concluding that sentence in option C would be the right answer.
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Lourdes hadn’t bothered to study for the essay exam, joking that her motto was "fake it ‘til you make it." Now, as she stared in horror at the test booklet, the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers. What kind of figurative language is used?
a. personification
b. simile
c. metaphor
d. hyperbole
Answer:
The kind of figurative language being used is:
a. personification
Explanation:
<u>Personification is a common figure of speech in literary works. Personification happens when an author gives living qualities to non-living things.</u> For instance, if the speaker of a poem says that the wind and the leaves are dancing during fall, he is using personification. Wind and leaves are not humans; they do not dance. However, by saying so, the speaker makes the movements of the leaves being carried by the wind more artistic, more vivid even.
<u>The same happens when the author of the passage we are analyzing says, "the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers." Blank pages are not beings, much less conscious beings. They cannot know anything or laugh at all. But, by phrasing it this way, the author makes it seem that Lourdes is being mocked, that her fate is quite an ironic one.</u>
