English

Artemon [7]3 years ago

The correct answer is B. Eager for the game to start again, he watched the half-time clock.

Explanation:

The hyphen (-) is a common punctuation mark, mainly used to join two or more words and combining the meaning of them. Because of this hyphen is used in the case of two or more adjectives that are placed before the noun they describe; in the case of compound words such as brother-in-law; in the case of fractions of compound numbers or in some cases to clarify when two or more words need to be understood as one in case this changes the meaning. Considering this, in the case of the sentence "Eager for the game to start again, he watched the half time clock" the hyphen should be placed to join the words "half" and "time", considering the word "half-time" acts as a compound adjective to describe clock. Therefore, the sentence that shows the correct use of the hyphen is B. "Eager for the game to start again, he watched the half-time clock".

Identify the term that best describes the italicized words.
zzz [600]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is 'participial phrase'.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the following sentence:

'The old man sat at the window,<em> remembering the days when he would have gone outdoors</em>'.

Here, the italicized words are an example of participial phrase.

A phrase which looks like a verb but actually functions as an adjective while modifying a noun in the same sentence is called a participial phrase.

So in this sentence, 'remembering' is the present participle and 'remembering the days' is the participial phrase. The participial phrase modifies 'he'.

In 3–5 complete sentences, thoroughly explain how the protagonist in your Module One short story handles the conflict he or she
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The protagonist handles the conflict quite poorly in the beginning of the story because he is so hungry and lose hope, this is stated "Hunger made our envy as dull and feeble as all our other feelings. We had no strength left for feelings, to search for easier work, to walk, to ask, to beg." but then gets the urge for freedom. Because the protagonist is in the gulag and his friend has found a map to escape and chooses to go with his friend, this is stated “I’m willing,” I said, opening my eyes. “Only I’ve got to feed myself up first.”. the outcome from the conflict is them trying to escape due to the poor conditions.
