Victor Frankenstein continues recounting the influences that lead to his great experiment: Before this I was not unacquainted wi

th the more obvious laws of electricity. On this occasion a man of great research in natural philosophy was with us, and excited by this catastrophe, he entered on the explanation of a theory which he had formed on the subject of electricity and galvanism, which was at once new and astonishing to me. All that he said threw greatly into the shade Cornelius Agrippa, Albertus Magnus, and Paracelsus, the lords of my imagination; but by some fatality the overthrow of these men disinclined me to pursue my accustomed studies. It seemed to me as if nothing would or could ever be known. All that had so long engaged my attention suddenly grew despicable. By one of those caprices of the mind which we are perhaps most subject to in early youth, I at once gave up my former occupations, set down natural history and all its progeny as a deformed and abortive creation, and entertained the greatest disdain for a would-be science which could never even step within the threshold of real knowledge. In this mood of mind I betook myself to the mathematics and the branches of study appertaining to that science as being built upon secure foundations, and so worthy of my consideration. Which line from this passage describes the changed feelings of the narrator?

Answer:

I believe the line from this passage that describes the changed feelings of the narrator is <u>"All that had so long engaged my attention suddenly grew despicable."</u>

Explanation:

The narrator, Victor Frankenstein, is describing, in this passage, the change of feelings he has undergone concerning his work. According to him, he is no longer interested in natural history, seeing it as a "would-be science" that cannot bring any "real knowledge". He went from being excited about it to disdaining it completely. That's why he took up to working with mathematics and its "secure foundations". The line that best describes the changed feelings is, "All that had so long engaged my attention suddenly grew despicable."

Word choice is used to get a point across.  So if you look a choice A, the author definitely does not feel that the manufacturers are striving to provide COMPLETE information (or there wouldn't be the questions).  I would say the same thing for D, making that an incorrect answer.  Looking at B and C, the author does use exaggeration in personification, but he doesn't mention sales.  He does however set a frustrated tone and touches on confusion of the customers, so I feel that C is the best answer here.

What are some tips to help remember adverbs and Adjectives?
Vlad [161]
<span>An adjective and adverb phrase differ in that an adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. To help remember the difference, the word itself has “verb” inside it, and adverbs tend to end in “-ly.” “Slowly,” “loudly,” and “happily” are all adverbs. examples </span>

1. All action verbs can be paired with an adverb. If you do something, you do it well not good. For example: Turtles walk slowly.

2. An adverb can’t modify a noun. The trick here is that not all –ly words are adverbs, some are adjectives too. For example, it’s correct to say the bright table (adjective) or the brightly colored table (compound adjective) but not the brightly table. On the other hand, it is correct to say “the friendly puppy.”

3. Use this simple trick to decide when to use an adverb or an adjective: If the construction works with the verb “to be”, it is correct. For example, the puppy is friendly works because friendly is an adjective.

4. Verbs that describe senses, including feel, seem and appear, require adjectives. For example, don’t feel bad or that sounds good. By using the “to be” test, it’s easy to see that Tim feels bad. (Tim is bad) is correct, but Tim feels badly (Tim is badly) isn’t.

5. Adjectives or predicate adjectives are required by linking verbs that do not describe actions. These adjectives modify and refer back to a noun or pronoun at the beginning of a sentence. Examples include: I feel sick and Julie was anxious.
