At last, late in the day, they heard a bellowing, low and faint as though far away. They listened and soon heard it again, a lit

tle louder and very fierce and dreadful. "It is he! it is he!" cried Theseus; "and now for the fight!" Then he shouted, so loudly that the walls of the Labyrinth answered back, and the sound was carried upward to the sky and outward to the rocks and cliffs of the mountains. The Minotaur heard him, and his bellowings grew louder and fiercer every moment. "He is coming!" cried Theseus, and he ran forward to meet the beast. The seven maidens shrieked, but tried to stand up bravely and face their fate; and the six young men stood together with firm-set teeth and clinched fists, ready to fight to the last. Soon the Minotaur came into view, rushing down the passage towards Theseus, and roaring most terribly. He was twice as tall as a man, and his head was like that of a bull with huge sharp horns and fiery eyes and a mouth as large as a lion's; but the young men could not see the lower part of his body for the cloud of dust which he raised in running. When he saw Theseus with the sword in his hand coming to meet him, he paused, for no one had ever faced him in that way before. Then he put his head down, and rushed forward, bellowing. But Theseus leaped quickly aside, and made a sharp thrust with his sword as he passed, and hewed off one of the monster's legs above the knee. –“The Cruel Tribute,” James Baldwin Explain how the author creates the suspenseful moment when the Minotaur arrives. Use the passage if you need to review the story’s climax

Answer:

James Baldwin speeds up the action to create suspense for the reader. By moving the action forward so quickly, the author leaves the reader anxious to discover if Theseus saves himself and the other characters from the Minotaur.

1. IF IT IS RAINING TOMORROW, I WILL BE AT HOME. ------- 2. I WOULD BUY THIS CAR IF I HAD MONEY. ----------- 3. THEY WOULD GET A
Papessa [141]

I have found this question online. We are supposed to write "1" for First Conditional, "2" for Second Conditional, and "3" for Third Conditional.

Answer and Explanation:

The First Conditional uses a verb in the present tense or in the present continuous tense for the condition, and a future tense (will) for the consequence. For example: If you love me, you will marry me.

The Second Conditional uses a verb in the past tense for the condition, and the verb "would" plus a main verb for the consequence. "Would" is the past form of "will". For example: If I had a car, I would drive to the beach on weekends.

The Third Conditional uses a verb in the present perfect tense for the condition, and "would/could/might have" plus a past participle for the consequence. Example: If she had called me, I would have told her the truth.

Having the explanation above in mind, we can safely answer the question:

1. IF IT IS RAINING TOMORROW, I WILL BE AT HOME. --> 1

2. I WOULD BUY THIS CAR IF I HAD MONEY. --> 2

3. THEY WOULD GET A PROMOTION IF THEY WERE GOOD DOCTORS. ---> 2

4. I WOULD HAVE SPOKEN TO HIM IF I HAD HAD TIME. --> 3

5. I CAN LIVE THERE IF I GET A JOB THERE. --> 1

6. MY FRIEND COULD HAVE SEEN THE CAR IF HE HAD PAID ATTENTION. --> 3

7. I WILL CALL YOU IF I HAVE TIME. --> 1

8. I WOULD TELL THE TRUTH IF I KNEW IT. --> 2

9. IF I HAD BOUGHT THE HOUSE, WE COULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THE NEW CAR. --> 3

10. SHE WILL TRAVEL IF SHE HAS MONEY. --> 1
