Answer:

After reading her brother's will, Jennifer learned that he had bequeathed the ancient family house to her.

Explanation:

The word "bequeathed" is a verb that shows or suggests someone left or 'willed' something to another person. It is majorly used in relation to inheriting of property or money, or in other words, the dissemination of property after the death of a person.

In the excerpt from the story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by Arthur Conan Doyle, the word "bequeathed" is used to show or indicate that Dr. Roylott was given/ left with a large sum of money by Mrs. Stoner, the mother of Helen Stoner.

So, in regards to this context, the word <em>"bequeathed" </em>is used best in the sentence which indicates that Jennifer had been left the family house by her brother who had died.

<em>"After reading her brother's will, Jennifer learned that he had bequeathed the ancient family house to her."</em>

The last line “And the tide rises the tide falls,” implies that the speaker believes there is life after death.</span>

frosja888 [35]

The correct answer would be *Capitalize those.*

Explanation:

In general, you should capitalize the first word, all nouns, all verbs (even short ones, like is), all adjectives, and all proper nouns. That means you should lowercase articles, conjunctions, and prepositions—however, some style guides say to capitalize conjunctions and prepositions that are longer than five letters.
