Answer:

Anna, the mother in "The Leap," is characterized by her courage. As a young woman, she was a circus performer, already an activity that requires strength of character to take part in. Her act involved performing high above the crowd, leaping from beams and trusting her husband to catch her—something that took phenomenal courage. The fact that this activity could have ended in Anna's death is made explicit when her husband is killed after lightning strikes the tent. Anna does not lose her courage when she loses her husband and her baby, however. Instead, she is able to continue, and have another baby, the narrator. When their house catches fire, Anna is courageous enough to endanger her own life by leaping to the window of the burning house to save her daughter. The narrator feels embarrassed for her mother that she is wearing only her underwear to do this, but Anna has no thought of this—she is thinking only of her daughter. Finally, as an older lady, Anna remains courageous. Now blind, she uses the skills she learned as a young woman to help her navigate the world unaided, even though it must be a frightening place without sight.

Explanation:

The sentences are rewritten employing the given words. The first sentence is a complex sentence which uses 'so...that' which can be converted into a simple sentence by replacing 'so...that followed by negative' with 'too...to' as mentioned above. Similarly, the complex idea 'that its difficult for them to drive on left' in the second sentence can be simply written that 'they...used to...left' to make it more precise. The two simple sentences in the third part can be transformed into one by using 'the more.' In the fourth sentence, the emphasis can be shifted to Sue and her car by turning it into passive form. While in the last sentence, the two distinct sentences can be united to convey the implied meaning that they yearn for travelling through comfortable buses.

Can someone give me a detailed summary of The Mystery of Three Quarters by Sophie Hannah?

artcher [175]

Answer:

Hercule Poirot returns home after an agreeable luncheon to find an angry woman waiting to berate him outside his front door. Her name is Sylvia Rule, and she demands to know why Poirot has accused her of the murder of Barnabas Pandy, a man she has neither heard of nor ever met.. She is furious to be so accused, and deeply shocked. Poirot is equally shocked, because he too has never heard of any Barnabas Pandy, and he certainly did not send the letter in question. He cannot convince Sylvia Rule of his innocence, however, and she marches away in a rage.Shaken, Poirot goes inside, only to find that he has a visitor waiting for him a man called John McCrodden who also claims also to have received a letter from Poirot that morning, accusing him of the murder of Barnabas Pandy.
