I don’t think Colonel Sherburn is a coward as he accuses the mob to be. He killed a man alright, but he has warned Boggs beforehand to stop his annoying behavior, and he didn’t. He killed the man in brought daylight, when everyone could see him, and did it alone. This is proof of a brave man, he says, he does what he does all by himself, without asking for permission or forgiveness. On the other hand, the mob procures its braveness from the gathering of people, “they don’t fight with courage that’s born in them, but with courage that’s borrowed from their mass”. At least, Colonel Sherburn is coherent with his own definition of braveness.

I think this passage contributes with the general theme of the book, of man’s inhumanity to man, by showing how the law of the strongest works. The strong will always crush the weak, he/she doesn’t care while he/she lives the way he/she wants.

Fill in the blank with some/any/no/much/many/a lot of<br> I didn't sleep ___ hours last night
Fantom [35]

Answer and Explanation:

If you are having a hard time figuring out which word goes into the black, try plugging all the words in to see if it makes sense.

I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

I didn't sleep <em><u>some</u></em> hours last night.

- This doesn't sound right; <em>Some</em> can be used for plural nouns, but because of the way this sentence is structured, it can't be applied.

I didn't sleep <em><u>any </u></em>hours last night.

- Another way of saying any (in this case) is <em><u>at all</u></em>, which would mean the sentence needs to be restructured, which we can't do.

I didn't sleep <em><u>no</u></em> hours last night .

- This isn't correct, because it contains a double negative, which is when two negative words are used in the same clause (group of words containing a verb) to explain a single negative idea.

I didn't sleep <em><u>much</u></em> hours last night.

- Due to hours being a countable plural noun, we can't use much, therefore this is incorrect.

I didn't sleep <em><u>many</u></em><em> </em>hours last night.

- This is correct! If you wanted to replace an amount of hours slept (or not slept), you can use many to show you slept for x amount of time without being specific.

<em><u>#teamtrees #PAW (Plant And Water)</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

<em><u>I hope this helps!</u></em>
