The correct answer is D.

In "Beowulf," Grendel is always the villan of the story. He is presented as a man-eating demon, who daily slaughters Danes and feeds on his corpres. He is never anything more than an obstacle for Beowulf to overcome.

On the contraty, in "Grendel," the reader can see different aspects of him. He is presented as an inteligent creature, capable of rational thoughs and emotions.

The story shows Grendel's changes and growth. It explores his relationship with his mother, his fascination with humans -which eventually turns into hatred and disgust-, and provides his point of view about the battle with Beowulf.

Identify the Affix(es) and root word for each of the following: Alternate Biannual Autobiography Recognize

mamaluj [8]

An Affix is a morpheme (a linguistic unit that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts) that attaches to the stem (root) of a word to form either a new word of a new form of the same word.

Affixes can be Derivational (the process of forming a new word from an existing word) and Inflectional (the modification of a word to express different grammatical categories such as tense, voice or person) There are also Prefixes (affixes placed before the stem of a word) and Suffixes (affixes placed after the stem of the word).

These are the roots and affixes of these words:

Alternate:

Root Word: Altern.

Suffix: –Ate which makes the word a verb.

Alternate: To perform by turns or in succession.

Biannual:

Root Word: Annual.

Prefix: Bi- which means two (in this case two times).

Biannual : Occurring twice a year.

Autobiography:

Root Word: Biography,

Prefix: Auto- which means self

Autobiography: The biography of a person narrated by him/herself.

Recognize:

Root Word: Cognize or Cognise. which means to perceive, become aware of or know.

Prefix: Re- which means again or back

Recognize: To perceive something or someone previously known.

Affixes can be class-changing and class-maintaining.

Class-maintaining affixes do not change the word class but change only the meaning of the word.

Class-changing affixes, when added to stems, immediately change the class of the word, making them as verbs, nouns, adverbs or adjectives.

So in the previous examples class-maintaining affixes and class-changing affixes were also used.

Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions about plot and characters in Animal Farm.

Cloud [144]

The book Animal farm, an allegorical story about the Russian Revolution (1917) and the Soviet Union, is about a group of farm animals who, dissatisfied with their human farmer, take over the farm. Their goal is that all the animals become equal and happy.

Which two animals often disagree with each other?

Answer: Napoleon and Snowball always disagree with each other.

Explanation:

Napoleon is a pig that becomes a farm leader after the Rebellion. In order to establish authority over other animals, Napoleon uses his nine attack dogs. Snowball, on the other hand, is intelligent and not as harsh as his enemy, Napoleon. Rather than intimidating other animals, Snowball is interested in winning their trust. While Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin, Snowball's character is based on Leon Trotsky.

Which animal does most of the heavy labor?

Answer: Boxer does most of the heavy labor.

Explanation:

Boxer's personal motto is ''I will work harder!" He is certainly hard-working and dedicated, and is convinced that every problem can be solved through hard work. Boxer is portrayed as powerful but naive, and his character is an allegory for Russian working-class that contributed to the establishment of the Soviet Union, but ended up betrayed by Stalin.

What does Snowball try to teach the animals to do?

Answer: Snowball tries to teach the animals how to read and write.

Explanation:

Snowball organizes the animals into Animal Committees that have different goals. There is, for instance, the Clean Tails League, and Re-education Committee. The goal of the latter is to re-educate the rats and rabbits. Snowball does succeed in his plan to teach the animals how to read and write, although other committees generally fail to achieve their goals. The pigs, for example, learn to fluently read and write.

What is the name of the incident in which Farmer Jones tries to retake the farm?

Answer: The Battle of the Cowshed.

Explanation:

In Chapter 4, the Battle of the Cowshed takes place. One day, the animals are working when they notice Mr. Jones and his men entering the gates of the farm. The animals realize that the men came to retake the farm by force. Snowball has already prepared a defense plan based on a book about Julius Caesar's strategy, so he eventually defeats the humans with only one animal death as a result. Mr. Jones has no other option but to flee the farm and never come back.
