SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct answer is C. Many of the candidates.

The subject in a sentence is the noun or pronoun that is doing or being something. The verb expresses the action that the subject is doing or being. I can be a simple subject, a complete subject and a compund subject.

A simple subject is only a noun or pronoun. A complete subject includes all the modifiers. A compound subject includes more than one subject--for example, when there are two people performing an action.

In this sentence, the candidates are the ones who are speaking, so the <u>simple subject</u> is "<em>candidates"</em> and the <u>complete subject</u> is "<em>Many of the candidates"</em>.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The author clearly uses a third-person point of view, which can be seen due to the lack of first person pronouns. Whether his point of view is limited or omniscient, however, is impossible to tell just from this part. This passage focuses solely on Mina, and even with her the narrator is not revealing any thoughts. As for creating interest in the story, the author introduces a conflict right from the start: the mysterious red box at Mina's feet. This event makes readers curious as to who left it there and why, and what the box contains.

What are Multiple examples of The Masque of the Red Death?
Greeley [361]

Answer:"The Masque of the Red Death", originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death: A Fantasy", is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1842. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, hosts a masquerade ball within seven rooms of the abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose "costume" proves to contain nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn. Poe's story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading. Many different interpretations have been presented, as well as attempts to identify the true nature of the titular disease. The story was first published in May 1842 in Graham's Magazine and has since been adapted in many different forms, including a 1964 film starring Vincent Price. Poe's short story has also been alluded to by other works in many types of media.

What does Hamlet mean by "shuffled off this mortal coil"? dying living dreaming sleeping
Alina [70]

Answer:

A). Dying.

Explanation:

The phrase 'shuffled off this mortal coil' was uttered by Hamlet during his popular soliloquy 'To be or not to be.' It stands for 'dying or to die' as a result of the sufferings or troubles of this mortal life and this constant state of being in conflict. When Hamlet says this phrase, he is tired of the regular 'turmoils of his mortal life' and thus, he wishes to 'die.' Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
