Read the excerpt below from Little Women and answer the question. "I told you so," said Aunt March, with a decided nod to Aunt C
arrol. Mercifully unconscious of what she had done, Jo sat with her nose in the air, and a revolutionary aspect which was anything but inviting. "Do you speak French, dear?" asked Mrs. Carrol, laying a hand on Amy's. What is it that Jo is “unconscious of” having done?
A. insulting Aunt Carrol
B. ruining her chances for being invited to the fair
C. losing an opportunity to travel to France
D. forfeiting her inheritance from Aunt March
Having read the book and seen the movie I'd say C.
Explanation:
The question was presented in a very vague way, I would know since I got this exact same question and was complaining for days about it. Hope this helps though.
The sentence in which the underlined infinitive phrase functions as a subject is the last one - to quickly move large groups of people is the purpose of public transportation. <em>To quickly move </em>is the infinitive phrase, and it is a subject.
Hiding your true feelings by pretending you feel exactly the
opposite is called dissimulation. Dissimulation is a noun that describes the
character of faking the actual feelings of a person. It is way of deceiving
someone about the actual feelings the person is going through. In another way
it can be the act of pulling wool over someone’s eyes to trick that person.
This word can be used in a wide variety of ways to project a person. This word
is often used to describe deceit.
