Literary Text: Folk Tale Read this Chinese folk tale. Then, answer the question(s). (1) [A Buddhist nun] left her nunnery near W

ei-hai city and set out on a long journey for the purpose of collecting subscriptions for casting a new image of the Buddha.... The first passer-by who took any notice of her was an amiable maniac. His dress was made of colored shreds and patches, and his general appearance was wild and uncouth. “Whither away, nun?” he asked. She explained that she was collecting subscriptions for the casting of a great image of Buddha.... “Throughout my life,” remarked the madman, “I was ever a generous giver.” So, taking the nun’s subscription-book, he headed a page with his own name ... and the amount subscribed. The amount in question was two cash, equivalent to a small fraction of a farthing. He then handed over the two small coins and went on his way. (2) In course of time the nun returned from Wei-hai-wei with her subscriptions, and the work of casting the image was duly begun. When the time had come for the process of smelting, it was observed that the copper remained hard and intractable.... The head workman [said,] “An offering of great value must be missing.” ... The nun, who was standing by, immediately produced the madman’s money, which on account of its minute value she had not taken the trouble to hand over. “There is one cash,” she said, “and there is another. Certainly the offering of these must have been an act of the highest merit, and the giver must be a holy man who will some day attain Buddhahood.” As she said this she threw the two cash into the midst of the cauldron. Great bubbles rose and burst, the metal melted and ran like the sap from a tree, limpid as flowing water, and in a few moments the work was accomplished and the new Buddha successfully cast.
Which phrase best defines the term cast as it is used at the end of paragraph 2? Use context clues as a guide.

throw metal into an oven to melt it
sculpt an image using chisels and hammers
boil metal in a cauldron to cause bubbles to form
shape metal by melting it and pouring it into a mold

Answer:

shape metal by melting it and pouring it into a mold

Explanation:

To cast is to pour a melted metal into a mold so that it acquires the form of the mold. A cast piece is not formed under pressure but rather left to take on the shape of the mold in which it is poured.

Casting can be used for many different types of material, of which some of the most common are plastics and metals since they can be melted relatively easily and their is a demand for them to be made into certain shapes.

Indicate whether the uppercase word(s) is a coordinating conjunction, a correlative conjunction, a subordinating conjunction, or
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. subordinating conjunction

2. correlative conjunction

3. coordinating conjunction

4. conjunctive adverb

5. coordinating conjunction

Explanation:

We use the <u>coordinating conjunctions </u>to coordinate relations between two or more sentences on the same syntactic level. Some of the most important coordinating conjunctions are: or, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.

We use co<u>rrelative conjunctions</u> to correlate two sentences with the same syntactic importance, by using pairs of the following conjunctions: either/or, neither/nor, not only/ but also.

We use <u>subordinating conjunctions</u> to link a dependent clause with an independent clause. There are two types of subordinating conjunctions:

- conjunctions that are expressing cause and effect relations: because, for, as, since, therefore, hence, due to, unless, so/so that, etc.

- conjunctions that are expressing time and place relations: like: while, when, where, before, after, etc.

We use <u>conjunctive adverbs</u> to connect two clauses that share the same ideas, which are being clarified with the use of the conjunctive adverbs. Some of the most important conjunctive adverbs are: also, moreover, instead, in fact, however, finally, etc.
