Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was a fine dry night; frost in the air; the streets as clean as a ballroom floor; the lamps, unshaken by any wind, drawing a regular pattern of light and shadow. By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. Which detail from the excerpt best establishes the gothic setting?By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. I would say this latter sentence due to the solitary street and the low growl of London and very silent sets a scene of loneliness, silence and the lateness of the night, suggesting a gothic setting.
No, because skillful and deft mean almost the same thing. An antonym are 2 words with opposite meanings. So this would be a synonym. Please make this a brainiest answer I really need them.
Answer:
•presentable - clean and smart enough to be seen in public
•natty - neat and fashionable
•contingent - a group of people
•strategically - positioned for best control
Explanation:
Let's try and briefly explain each of these words.
Presentable means that something/someone meets the criteria to be presented in public.
We say that something is natty, we usually refer to clothes, although ot can be related to people as well. Natty means something fashionable, fashionably-designed, appealing to many people.
Contingent is a noun that denotes a number of people sharing something in common (nationality, profession, features)
Strategically can be defined as positioned in a manner that provides the positioner resources, control, infrastructure, terrain etc. (The town was strategically built near the confluence of the two rivers.)
