This is a personal question. I will answer below according to the word that was unfamiliar to me, but feel free to add to the answer in case there were more for you.
Answer and Explanation:
The word that I found unfamiliar and whose meaning I did not know at first was "behest". I had never seen that word before. To understand its meaning, I looked for context clues. <u>The rest of the sentence in which "behest" appears functions as a clue to finding its meaning. It says that, at a person's behest, something happened: "the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself. . ." As soon as I read this part, it made me think of the word "command." For instance, the sentence "At the general's command, the troops advanced" has a similar connotation to the one with "behest".</u>
To confirm my assumptions, I looked the word up online and found it indeed means "order" or "command".
Hi, the answer is B - compliant. "Attenuated" means "extremely thin", "magnanimous" means generous, "polygamous" means "having multiple partners simultaneously". And the correct answer, "compliant", means "obedient", "acquiescent".
That statement is A) true. A present participle does end in -ing and can function as an adjective.
Compound because there are two independent statements <span />
: the two brothers had collected the right amount fish
: they show the fish to their father
: both of them take it to the duvitch house and apologize
