sveticcg [70]3 years ago

In the sentence “The accountant desires to be honest rather than rich”, the type of verbal is “infinitive”. The infinitive form of a verb is preceded by the preposition “to” which in this case is “to be”.  

A gerund is a verbal acting as a noun and it is form by “verb+ing”. A participle is a verbal acting as an adjective and it is formed by past form of verb. So in this case the only answer that applies is “infinitive”

Describe the children's favorite landscape. Why do you think Bradbury chose this
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The children's favorite landscape depicts a blazing African savannah with deadly animals.

Explanation:

I think Bradbury chose this landscape as a reflection of the children's violent minds. It shows what is really going on behind their innocent exterior and helps the reader understand a little what the children are thinking of without being overly obvious about it. It affects the reader because it sets an ominous mood that foreshadows a violent ending. With a happier setting, the mood would not imply impending doom and the outcome of the text would seem extremely abrupt.

*Hey! I hope this helps! If you need evidence you can put it when you explain what their favorite landscape is : )*
