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".

Read the line from Grendel.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>He describes the length of the men’s decision-making process.</em> - This is not the right answer. While Grendel writes they met for many nights, this is not the point of the sentence nor his perspective.

<em>He describes the way the men socialize and relax together. </em>- This is not true. The sentence talks about Hrothgar‘s meetings with the council and decision making.

<em>He thinks that the men’s religious behavior is strange and interesting</em><u>. - This is the correct answer. Grendel describes their statues of gods as „curious … creatures“ and both of these words suggest that he finds them strange, weird, but also interesting and worthy of notice.</u>

<em>He thinks that Hrothgar is a strong leader who will challenge any opponent. </em>- This is not the correct answer. We do not see Grendel expressing thought about Hrothgar‘s leadership.
