Typically a person would say fifty-nine cups remain on the table, but the question isn’t asking how many cups are still on the table it’s asking how many remain. So in that case, you started with sixty cups, and you still have sixty cups remaining.

Read these excerpts from Angel Agnes and The Summer of the Pestilence. Fiction: Angel Agnes For awhile Agnes seemed to be wander

Neko [114]

Answer:

The fictional excerpt is more poetic than the nonfictional excerpt.

Explanation:

In the fictional passage about Angel Agnes from the chapter "Agnes saves a child but dies herself", Agnes is shown in a deep slumber. But the narrative voice uses the words "wandering, or perhaps she was dreaming", which is poetic and even fairy-tale like. The further description about her appearance provides an image of something more ethereal than a normal, realistic image.

On the other hand, The Summer of the Pestilence provides a historical account of the Yellow fever and the effects it had on man. The passage deals with the realistic, even violent images of the effects of the disease, an unpleasant picture.

The two passages about death are presented in such a way that the fictional work is more poetic than the realistic / non fictional excerpt.

Explanation:

The present perfect tense is the tense we use to talk about events that happened in the past but have present consequences. There are two types of this tense:

The present perfect simple - used to talk about completed actions that have an influence on the present. The emphasis is on the result of the action.
The present perfect continuous - used to talk about activities that started in the past and may continue in the present. The emphasis is on the activity itself.
