The prepositions are the words which show the relationship between the pronoun and the nouns. On the other hand, the prepositional phrase starts with the prepositions and end with the object of a preposition, having one or more modifiers to describe.

Therefore, the correct analysis of the sentence, "n a feeding frenzy, the pigeons descended upon the breadcrumbs that the kindly old man on the park bench continued to toss." is The prepositional phrase “on the park bench” acts as an adjectival phrase.

The prepositional phrase acts as an adjective or adverb when it answers, "which one?"

Hence answering the question "which bench?"- "on the park bench".

Which excerpt from Chapter 3 of The Scarlet Letter is the best evidence that the stranger in the marketplace wants to keep his t
olasank [31]

Answer:

When he found the eyes of Hester Prynne fastened on his own, and saw that she appeared to recognize him, he slowly and calmly raised his finger, made a gesture with it in the air, and laid it on his lips.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's <em>The Scarlet Letter </em>tells the story of a woman who was accused of adultery and punished for the sin in a Puritan society. The woman, Hester Prynne had to wear a scarlet letter A to indicate or 'show' everyone about the sin she had committed, and be 'showcased' in public for 3 hours every day.

The given excerpt from Chapter 3 gave details about the marketplace where Hester Prynne and her daughter were revealed and 'displayed' for everyone to see. The womenfolk took the chance to berate and gossip about her. And among the general public who had come to see Prynne was a man who Prynne seemed to recognize. But <u>he held his hands to his lips so that she will not reveal him or his secret. This gesture seems to suggest that the man wanted to keep his true identity a secret. </u>

“Sorry, Wrong Number”
Andrews [41]

Answers with Explanation:

1. After reading the first section of the play, what does the phrase "querulous, self-centered neurotic" means about Mrs. Stevenson?

The phrase clearly describes Mrs. Stevenson as somebody who had the habit of complaining. As seen on the play, she complained several times about the murder plot she heard over the phone while she was trying to connect with her husband. She couldn't understand why it was hard to trace the call and complained endlessly to the operator.

2. What evidence points toward the beginning of a conflict or problem within the story?

An evidence which points toward the beginning of the story's conflict was when Mrs. Stevenson overheard a murder plot while she was trying to connect to her husband's office. This started the conflict which was followed by Mrs. Stevenson calling the operator again.

3. What do the stage directions about Mrs. Stevenson reveal about how she feels?

Mrs. Stevenson felt scared about the murder plot and this can be seen by her lines in the story and how she reacted to the operator. It also shows her anger that the murder plot she heard couldn't be traced and the polcie didn't mind at all. She even called the operator "s.tupid" which made the operator slam the phone.

4. What is the impact on the story of Duffy's actions and tone in lines 337-329?

<em>*not sure where the lines are*</em>

<em> </em>Duffy's action and tone are calm because he was a sergeant. It provides an air-breather when it comes to the story line. Finally, Mrs. Stevenson was able to air out her concern about the murder plot which she overheard and someone was listening to her.

5. Summarize what Mrs. Stevenson is revealing to Duffy and the audience.

Mrs. Stevenson is revealing to the audience that her husband loves her very much because she mentioned that he adores her and always awaits for her. It also shows her character of being self-centered.

6. What does the word invalid mean as it is used in this phrase?

"Invalid" means that <em>Mrs. Stevenson was incapable of going anywhere or doing things because she was sick.</em> She couldn't leave her bed that's why the phone is just right beside her.

7. What new problem does Mrs. Stevenson encounter and what effect does it have on her as a character?

Mrs. Stevenson heard a "click" while she was talking to the operator. This shows her attitude as<u> being meticulous</u> that she could spot small sound or details. She felt that the sound came from the extension line downstairs.

8. Cite text evidence that shows how the play increases tension in this section.

<em>"AGNES: But I did! There's someone in this house -- someone  downstairs -- in the kitchen -- and they're listening to me now.  They’re list…"</em>

This text is an evidence that the tension starts to increases again because Mrs. Stevenson is starting to panic and believe that someone is actually inside the house with her.

9. Why is this statement ironic given the events in the play?

It's ironic because George was the man whom Agnes heard over the phone. This means that he was the one who killed Agnes, thus when Agnes died and was trying to call the Police Department, George answered the call that he dialed a wrong number.

A round character in a novel, play, or story is a complex personality. Like real people, they have depth in feelings and passions. For instance, in the movie “Shrek,” the main character says “‘Ogres are like onions,” which means that, what appears to them is not the only truth. Rather, there is something more inside them.
