"As soon as I entered the house, my wife took me in her arms, and kissed me, at which, having not been used to the touch of that

odious animal for so many years, I fell in a swoon for almost an hour. At the time I am writing it is five years since my last return to England: during the first year I could not endure my wife or children in my presence, the very smell of them was intolerable, much less could I suffer them to eat in the same room. To this hour they dare not presume to touch my bread, or drink out of the same cup, neither was I ever able to let one of them take me by the hand. The first money I laid out was to buy two young stone-horses, which I keep in a good stable, and next to them the groom is my greatest favourite; for I feel my spirits revived by the smell he contracts in the stable. My horses understand me tolerably well; I converse with them at least four hours every day. They are strangers to bridle or saddle; they live in great amity with me, and friendship to each other. "

Analyzing Plot Development - Quiz - Level G
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Kellan's wish comes true and robots begin doing his work for him.

Explanation:

The rising action is a part of a plot where situations arise that raise the tension in the story, guiding the narrative to the main conflict, where the tension reaches its highest level.

Regarding the question asked above, the rising action event that promotes increased tension happens when Kellan's wish comes true and the robots start to do their job for him. This promotes a reflection in Kellan on the problem involving robots and work automation, making him fight against the idea of work at the highest level of narrative tension.

In which sentence does the underlined objective complement function as an adjective? Skiers called the record snowfall incredibl
xz_007 [3.2K]
Assuming the underlined objective complement in the first sentence is the word incredible, the correct answer would be just that - Skiers called the record snowfall incredible.
Here, the word incredible is objective complement because it completes the object 'the record snowfall.' And given that it is an adjective (whereas the other underlined words such as nuisance and Bob are not - they are nouns), it is the only correct option.

If you are looking for the entry boasted in the dictionary, which guide words could you find at the top of the page?
nexus9112 [7]
Well it depends on how large the pages are, and how large the printing is. Guide words are the words at the top of the left and right pages that indicate what the first and last word is. For example on the first page (the left) it would have the very first word on that page up top. Then on the second it would have the very last word. So like I said, it depends on how large the print and pages are.
