The Cylinder OpensThe narrator returns to Horsell Common to discover an even larger crowd, all pushing to be able to see the cylinder. All, that is, except for one poor guy who fell into the crater and is trying to push his way back out. (Which is always the way – the grass is always greener on the other side of the crater.)Then the cylinder opens, and out comes something that no one expects. The narrator admits that he expected something sort of like a man to emerge, but instead what comes out is snake-like tentacles and a body about the size of a bear and skin that glistens like "wet leather" (1.4.12, 1.4.14). (You can only imagine our facial contortions right now.)Everyone runs away from the Martian just because it looks horrible, what with its saliva-dripping, lipless mouth and big, luminous eyes. Oh, and tentacles. Can't forget the tentacles.Since all of the people have for cover (they've found places to hide and watch), the area by the crater is now a human-free zone, with just some horses and carts.Oh, and remember the man who fell in the crater before? He's still down there. Dun dun dun!

what would this mean?

Answer:

B. act or move at high speed.

Explanation:

The term hasten is derived from the word haste, which means to make something happen quickly. The word hasten is a verb, extended from the word haste and added with the pattern of verb '-en.'

Therefore, hasten means to act or move at high speed or to be quick on doing something, or move fast.

Thus option B is correct.

Reframe the sentence using the underlined word as a verb:

Verdich [7]

I looked this question up and found the underlined word is "declaration" and that it is supposed to be used as a verb in the new sentence.

Answer:

After reframing the sentence, we have:

The collector declared the local holiday.

Explanation:

The noun "declaration" is formed by adding the suffix -ation to the verb "declare". To use the verb in the sentence, we will need to make quite a few changes. The simplest way to do it is by using the active voice, which makes "collector" the new subject and demands the use of a verb to express the action of declaring. With that in mind, we can reframe the sentence in the following manner:

The collector declared the local holiday.

The verb "declared" is in the past form because the original sentence also used a past structure.
