Answer: Based on the context of this excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, the meaning of the word "jocund" is b) lighthearted.

Explanation: The word "jocund" is an adjective and it is used to refer to <u>someone who is lighthearted, that is to say someone who is cheerful and happy</u>. Moreover, in this excerpt, "jocund" is premodifying "travellers"; therefore, it has been used to ascribe a quality/attribute to this noun. <u>The phrase that is part of the context and that most contributes to infer the meaning of "jocund" is "in great spirit". </u>

8. Lesson 1

The ways that Maya Angelou showed resilience in her life include:

  • Angelou was a fierce advocate for the rights of women, children, and the underrepresented.
  • She moved fluidly between the literary and activist spheres.
  • Despite all of the tragedies in her life that might have paralyzed her, Angelou showed resilience by pursuing her passion.

<h3>How did May show resilience?</h3>

Maya Angelou experienced an erratic childhood that comprised numerous migrations and residences as well as a time of horrific assault that rendered her speechless for over five years. Even after she had recovered, her life continued to be turbulent, both in terms of her own decisions working as the first black streetcar conductor at age 16 and those made by the people around her, such as when she was devastated by the murders of her friends and coworkers.

However, Angelou persisted, as she noted in "Still I Rise," possibly her most well-known poem. These experiences influenced her, but they didn't halt or define her. She became, for so many, a representation of resilience, the ability to endure through difficulty and adversity.

baherus [9]
Answer: C. preposition: during; object of the preposition: thunderstorm

Prepositions are words that introduce facts or information to the reader. It can state where something takes place, when or why something takes place, or general descriptive information.

Object of the preposition is needed because a preposition don't stand on its own. Preposition and object of the preposition are grouped together as a prepositional phrase. This phrase begins with the preposition and ends with a noun which is the object of preposition.

In the above sentence, the prepositional phrase is:

during the loud thunderstorm.

"during" is the preposition because it gives information on when something takes place
"thunderstorm" is the object of preposition because it is the noun in the prepositional phrase.
