The correct answer is D. Sentence 4 "The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward, several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed."

Explanation:

The passage taken from "Gulliver's Travel" written by Jonathan Swift explains one of the strange practices Gulliver's encounter in Lilliput a fictional island in which the story takes place. This passage is divided into four main sentences each of which describes a different element of the particular practice of the people of this island. In the first sentence the narrator describes this diversion is practiced by the emperor, empress, and first minister only on particular occasions; in the second sentence the narrator describes the emperor lays some silken threads on a table and then in the third sentence it explains these threads are the prizes for the winner; finally in the fourth sentence the narrator describes the process and the actions the emperor carries out during this particular game or practice.

In the case of sentence four, which is one of the longest sentences, it includes a series of steps carried out by the emperor, considering this sentence summarizes a process and the reader needs to understand each of the steps to really understand all the passage, it is probably the readers need to read it more than once or to stop some seconds after read each step to process the information.

How do you feel right now in this moment?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

In this moment, I do feel bored/ scared/ tired/ whatever you are feeling right now.

My greatest fear during this time is that this pandemic will be never-ending and won't slow down and stop spreading any time soon.

My initial reaction to school closing is slight shock, but not that surprised. It hasn't changed. (Your reaction may be different, I'm just giving you an example.)

There are multiple changes that should be made after the quarantine is over. I'm sure you can come up with a few examples, but I'll just give you one for starters. When we go to either restaurants or cafes, there shouldn't be a bunch of tables inside of that restaurant or café. They should reduce the amount of tables and chairs inside each of them to keep their distance.

My friends and or family are responding by ___. ( I don't know who your friends or family are, so this one is completely on you. )

During this time, the most important to me is keeping a safe distance from those who I love and care about while checking up on them when they are available by technology. (That's only one of multiple examples. If this doesn't apply to you, then think of something else.)

This time has/ has not changed me in quite a few ways.

Which one is correct?<br><br> I prefer to do not talk.<br> I do not prefer to talk.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

"I do not prefer to talk" is grammatically better than "I prefer to do not talk."

Explanation:

The best way to say this is "I prefer not to talk"

"I do not prefer to talk" is grammatically correct but not commonly used. This statement may be used when one is asked (directly or indirectly) whether he/she prefers to talk or not. Saying "I do not prefer to talk" does not convey clearly what you really prefer.

"I prefer not to talk" conveys the message better. It also informs the audience what your preference is. Using negative of prefer is not common There may be <em>like</em> or do not like, but negative of some words like <em>suggest, advise, prefer, request</em> are ambiguous.

For example, "I advise not to talk" is better in conveying the sense than "I do not advise to talk" (because it does not tell what you really advise).
