Answer:
D). Meanings.
Explanation:
The interpretation or meanings that one attributes to a particular word or phrase is highly determined by the knowledge he/she possesses and their sensitivity.
In the given example, the statement 'you look tired' was common to both the women and the words remain same for both however the 'meanings' they attributed to it lead to varied interpretation and understanding of the words. Their sensibility differs from each other and thus, Brook finds it comforting while Bianca takes it as 'criticism'. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
The answer is likely to be 1, 2 or 3.
3 is the most fitting answer.
The correct answer is sentence (5).
A sentence fragment means that it is only a part of a sentence; it is not complete. Given that it is incomplete, the fragment, aka subordinate/dependent sentence, has to be part of a larger, independent sentence, in order to make any sense. So if you combined sentence (5) with another one, it wouldn't be a fragment anymore.
Answer:
The author presents the Reverend as an eyewitness to multiple examples of Scoresby's good fortune, which adds reliability to his account.
Explanation:
According to the book "Luck" by Mark Twain, the story is told of an English war hero Lord Scoresby who is a total idiot but managed to achieve legendary status by sheer luck. The Reverend was an instructor to Scoresby at military academy and tells how Scoresby somehow got through military school even though he is a complete idiot.
Therefore the author advances the plot through the use of the Reverend character by presenting Reverend as an eyewitness which adds reliability and credibility to his account.
