English
1 answer:
DochEvi [55]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: check the meaning.

Explanation:

When we see an unknown word in one text, the first thing we should do is check the meaning of the word in a dictionary. After that, we should memorize the word and try to use it in a certain context, in order to make sure we understood its meaning.

When we are predicting the meaning of the word, we can often make a mistake, because some words and their meanings can be quite unpredictable or illogical if someone doesn't know the etymology of the word or doesn't understand the scope of its use.

Why doesn't Romeo receive Friar Laurence's message?
Ivan

Romeo doesn’t receive Friar Laurence’s message because there is a plague outbreak and Friar John was quarantined.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

While Friar John was on the way, he decided to visit a house which had some sick people when he was on the way to give the letter to Romeo. He was quarantined on ground of suspicion that even he might be affected with the plague and the letter could be the main reason why the plague is spreading.

After he was released he returned the letter to Friar Laurence stating that he was not able to give the letter. Friar Lawrence is totally mood off and realizes that Romeo if not knowing Juliet's unjust death, no one can recover her from the grave when she wakes up.

Which of these sentences, taken from a personal narrative about Christopher Columbus, MOST needs to be revised to make it more f
klemol [59]

Answer:

D) Most people figured that Columbus discovered America, made friends with the Indians, and then told everyone else about this land.

Explanation:

Revision of any text or passage is need for a number of reasons, ranging from a simple grammar mistake to making the paper more precise, focused, structured, etc. The revision also allows for improved analytical skills, challenging one's own ideas, more strengthened argument, etc.

Among the given sentences, the one that needs to be revised is sentence D. Looking at the words used in this particular sentence, it is evident that the words are too informal, be it using<em> "most people figured", "made friends", or "told everyone else"</em>. They make the sentence too simple, too friendly, something one does with a close friend or relative. If these words are revised with words like 'most people believed', 'formed close relationship/ befriended', or 'revealed to everyone', then that makes the sentence seem more formal.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
