Select all of the sentences that do not have a gerund.

English
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
4 0
A gerund is a noun that is made when you add -ing to a verb.

So "She was dancing with her best friend" does not have a gerund, since "dancing" is part of the verb phrase "was dancing." Same goes for "After school gets out, I will be swimming," since "will be swimming" is a verb phrase.

What did Prospero want Miranda to think about her uncle Antonio in The Tempest.
disa [49]

Prospero tells Miranda, his daughter, as he is creating a storm that tosses a ship, that he used to be the duke of Milan and consequently Miranda was a princess. Indeed it is Prospero who creates the storm. The fact that they have been on an island for a long time lacking interaction with other people has made Miranda lack a judgment of her own. Propspero tells that he was victim of usurpation of his kingdom from Antonio, his brother. He is teaching his daughter that not all people are kind on the world and that Antonio was not a noble person.

Based on what you have learned about gothic literature, write a 3- to 5-page short story that Incorporates some of the gothic
Paladinen [302]

The assignment wants to analyze your knowledge of Gothic literature. For that reason, I can't write your short story, but I'll show you how to write it.

<h3>Short story structure</h3>
  • Exposition: Introduce your characters and the environment where the story will take place.
  • Rising action: Begin to develop the gothic nature of the short story, making the story's tension gradually increase.
  • Climax: Present the most important point of the story, where the Gothicism stands out and the tension of the story reaches its maximum.
  • Falling action: Show what happened after the event that formed the climax and start to ease the tension.
  • Conclusion: Finish the story and show how each character will continue their lives.

Gothic literature has very precise and characteristic elements. You should use these elements to express the Gothicism of your story and strengthen the narrative's points. These elements are:

  1. Mysticism.
  2. Horror.
  3. Mentions of death.
  4. Sadness.
  5. supernatural elements.
  6. Isolation and loneliness.
  7. Thriller.
  8. Negative feelings.

Below you can see an example of how your short story exposition might be written.

<em>The mansion in the center of town was imposing and had a dark and mysterious air. Philip knew that his stay in the mansion would promote events he was not used to, as as soon as he entered he felt a shiver take over his body and a feeling of loneliness and distress invaded his heart.</em>

What does the word ingratiated imply about yegor?
Anon25 [30]

The word "ingratiated" means that Yegor likes to flatter people.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • If we look up the word "ingratiated" in a dictionary, we can see the meaning of it, which refers to someone who likes to please people, to get their affection.
  • If we associate this word with a more colloquial meaning, we can see that this word refers to sycophants, who are people who like to please others, so that everyone likes them.

In this case, if this word is related to a character, like Yegor, it means that he is a sycophant and is always trying to flatter and promote happiness to people with ulterior motives.

ozzi

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.
