Concept checking is the process of a teacher asking questions to their students to make sure they understand the vocabulary/grammar you have taught them. =)
TV can make you gain weight, and become lazier. Around a TV, you're eyes focus on the screen, which can blind not only the eyes but the brain. TV is not healthy
Hi there,
the answer to the first question is: "A tide of darkness seemed to be sweeping her from him. 'Mother!' he cried. 'Darling, sweetheart, wait!'" at least that is what i think.
the answer to question 2 is: Julian helps her, from a sense of obligation, but he treats her rudely at the same time.
and finally the answer to question 3 is: Professor Shlemiel calls himself "forgetful" and says he's always blundering and losing things.
Hope this helped :)
Have a great day
A parallel sentence mentions the same grammatical expression twice. I would go with "D". 'Passed' and 'Demonstrated' are both past tense words that express the same past tense grammatical idea.
If you have more questions, feel free to ask me.
Answer: Having a feeling of uneasiness or embarrassment.
Explanation:
<em>Journey to the Center of the Earth</em> (1864) is a science fiction novel by Jules Verne. It is a story about a German professor, convinced that volcanic tubes are going towards the center of the earth.
In this particular excerpt, Harry is describing his uncle, professor Hardwigg. According to him, Hardwigg is a rather educated man, but it is sometimes very hard to understand what he is trying to say. Professor would often include complex adjectives or hardly pronounceable names in his speech, which would make him stammer. This would cause him to feel embarrassed, so he would give up speaking and have a glass of water.
