Answer: B. creating a plan
If Sir Gawaine were devising a scheme to rescue his brothers, he would be creating a plan. To "devise" means to create or elaborate something, while a "scheme" refers to a plan of action, or a plot. The word is often used in reference to a plan that is secret, or dishonest.
The correct answer is
B. To make an emotional appeal
I'm assuming an article is not a part of speech. Next, I'm going to go with v, as there are no contractions or abbreviations in bacteria. For 3, they are both organisms, and that is a noun, so A. For Part B, "The death of an animal means life for fungi because as fungi decompose the organic material from the animal, they also consume nutrients from it." Hope this helped.
