Entombed within these chests of solid stone,

Make themselves felt by their distressful sighs?"

With their disciples, from all sects, and more

Than you'll believe are loaded in these tombs.

Some monuments are hotter and some less."

When writing your global purpose, what is NOT considered a helpful practice?
Shalnov [3]
<span>Writing a global purpose means that you have got to put in mind anything that you will be doing with what the possible effects it could give you and to other people. You got to ask the question what benefits could these goals to you and others? To the environment? When we write goals, we sometimes mistakenly view the world as if its in the palm of our hands. You need to write goals which are attainable, which you can do in your own way.</span>

How does Anna’s mother decision to make a quilt affect future events in history
Pavel [41]

Answer:  The correct answer is: The author metaphorically describes quilts as weapons against strong winds in January. And she writes to remember and reimagine stories about her and her family. The author tries to give life to the quilt. She describes the daily routine of waking up under a quilt of many colors, the speaker begins to remember how the quilt felt since the sense of touch is very important for memory, uses the word faces to describe each fabric frame. The quilt had pieces of cloth that had a nostalgic meaning as first communion dresses, wedding dresses and sleepwear among others, the movement of the needle when sewing reminded the speaker of a galloping horse, each piece of cloth that the mother joins brings a different memory to the speaker. The mother cut each piece of cloth thinking of colors that combined and were according to some memory such as holidays, Corpus Christi, the seasons, the day of her wedding, but also brought back sad moments and therefore added a piece of dressed in a funeral and turned it into a black star. The conclusion is that what holds together all these pieces of cloth that represent various memories is love.

Ex.5. Rewrite the questions in reported speech. "Are you hungry?" He asked me _______ . "What are you doing now?" He asked me __
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

He asked me <u>if I was hungry</u>.

He asked me <u>what I was doing</u>.

He asked me <u>when he went to school</u>.

He asked me <u>where I spent my holidays</u>.

He asked me <u>what the time was then</u>.

Explanation:

Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person had told us. This retelling or exchange of information to a third party is given in the reporter form, or in the indirect speech.

The verbs and tenses in the reported speech will be changed according to the tenses in the first speech. So, supposing the initial sentence is in the simple present tense, then the reported speech will be in the simple past tense. Likewise, if the original speech is in the present perfect, then the reporting speech will be in the past perfect tense.

<em>"Are you hungry?" He asked me </em><em><u>if I was hungry</u></em><em>. </em>

<em>"What are you doing now?" He asked me </em><em><u>what I was doing</u></em><em>. </em>

<em>"When does he go to school?" He asked me </em><em><u>when he went to school</u></em><em>. </em>

<em>"Where did you spend your holidays?" He asked me </em><em><u>where I spent my holidays</u></em><em>. </em>

<em>"What time is it now?" He asked me </em><em><u>what the time was then</u></em><em>.</em>
