<u>Answer</u>:

Oxygen supply become alarmingly low.  This is why Krakauer is in a hurry to start back down when he reaches the top of Mount Everest.

<u>Explanation</u>:

“Into Thin Air” by “Jon Krakauer” is story about the author who climbed Mt. Everest. He saw the amazing view of Tibet below him, but he was not able to appreciate it. He was feeling weak and cold. Jon was constantly coughing, and all this was the result of extremely low levels of oxygen due to which his brain was also not working properly.

That’s why he asked “Andy Harris” to conserve the oxygen, but Harris opened the flow of the oxygen. Though he felt a lot better after the oxygen supply, but soon he realized that he would have to go down without oxygen to reach South Summit where another oxygen tank was kept.

17. In which sentence is the entire infinitive phrase underlined?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<em>The best preparation for a game is </em><em>to practice until you know all the plays</em><em>. </em>

<em>The crowd was excited</em><em> to see a great play. </em>

<em>To cheer good plays made by both teams</em><em> is good sportsmanship.</em>

Explanation:

An infinitive phrase is a set of words, with an infinitive as its main part and with some modifiers and complements as an addition. All these words act as one phrase and have one function in a sentence (infinitive phrase can act as a noun or an adjective or an adverb).

Since nothing is underlined in these answers, let's find infinitive phrases for each of them:

-The best preparation for a game is to practice until you know all the plays - infinitive here is "to practice" but if we want to be more precise on the amount of practice and to modify this infinitive, then our phrase would be "to practice until you know all the plays".

- The crowd was excited to see a great play - the infinitive is "to see" but we don't know what, so the entire phrase is "to see a great play"

- To cheer good plays made by both teams is good sportsmanship - the infinitive is "to cheer" and the sentence "To cheer is good sportsmanship" could be valid. But, if we want to be more precise, we would say "to cheer good plays". Of course, we can go into even more details and say the entire phrase "to cheer food plays made by both teams"

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The sentence: When Tonia said, "I think "the lottery" is the most disturbing story i’ve ever read!" we all agreed!" uses quotation marks and other punctuation correctly.

This sentence's quotation marks and other punctuation are correct because its structure is a reported one, and a reported speech should come with a (" ") quotation mark.

Also, "The lottery" seems to highlight the message the reporter is trying to pass across to their hearer. So, having it in "quotations" is correct.

The exclamation punctuation marks give meaning to the mood of both the originator of the speech and the reporter. The reporter seems grateful that Tonia said that because they, with other fellows, truly find the story most disturbing. So, making the other punctuation correct.

The authors write, “Frida often went further than Diego in expressing her 'Mexican-ness'”(3). What do they mean?
irinina [24]

Answer:

Perhaps they mean that Frida feels more connected to her culture and is less embarassed of showing her, well, 'Mexican-ness' to society compared to Diego.

Explanation:

To go a little further in depth, we can conclude that Frida loves her culture and feels connected to it, and while Diego might also feel connected, he simply does not express it nearly as much as Frida does.

Hope this helps!
