Answer: Inactive.

Explanation:

The meaning of the word 'inert' is 'not moving'. In the excerpt, it is described that the machines were not moving, as if they were dead. The word 'inactive' has the same meaning - it stands for something that is not operating, moving or is out of function. This is why we could replace 'inert' with 'inactive' in this example.

ahrayia [7]
The sentences that contribute to a sense of hope are "<span>She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves. There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window."    First of all, she sees trees that are trembling with new life. A peddler was selling his goods. She could hear a distant song which someone was singing, and songs usually mean good spirit in works of literature.

2. Write about your favourite places in Karachi, use 4 Adjectives, 3 Adverbs of degree and 3 quantifiers. Use Past Tense. (100-1
malfutka [58]

Answer:

My favorite places in Karachi are Clifton Beach, Islamabad and Frere Hall.

These places are truly unique and unmatched, I honestly <em>found</em> them beautiful.

<em>I did not have</em> <u>enough</u> time to visit all the places <em>I wanted</em> but I was <u>very </u>happy with the ones <em>I could visit</em>, as they<em> were</em> <u>extremely </u>wonderful.

Explanation:

Adjectives are words that accompany nouns to describe a quality of them. There are many types of adjectives: qualifying, possessive, numerals, demonstrative, etc.

In this case we use: unique, unmatched and beautiful.

Adverbs of degree are those that we can find most of the time modifying adjectives, adverbs or verbs. In this case we have: enough, very and extremely.

And finally, the sentences must be written in the past tense. This tense indicates an action that started and ended at a specific time in the past, as we can see in the examples: found, I did not, I wanted, I was, I could visit, they were.
