Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Expletive is a word derived from the Latin word "expletivus" meaning "to fill out" that is infused in a sentence either to emphasize the meaning or to confer to the meter. These do not add to the basic meaning of the sentence but not completely insignificant or futile as it enhances the tone of the statement. It is an introductory word often employed in the sentence to fill the gaps usually followed by verbs. For example;

1. <u>There</u> is no place like home.

2.<u> Here</u> is the professor of my class.

Here, both sentences introduced with expletive i.e. (There, Here) but followed by verb, not by adjectives. Thus, the assertion is false.

The following sentence is in what tense?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
The verb here is "had given"; this is past perfect: it's a perfect tense, because it has a past participle with the -ed ending ("given") and it's the past perfect because  the auxiliary verb is the past form of "have": had.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Swift writes that after much time and effort, he has finally come up with a solution that is “solid and real, of no expence and little trouble” to address the problem of poverty.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift wrote his political as well as economical proposal "A Modest Proposal" to offer solutions to the ever increasing poverty and increase of children in the streets. in it, he proposes the idea of using the young children as sources of meat as well as income for both the rich and the poor.

Selling the children as meat to the rich will ensure the continual availability of food while it will also procure a steady flow of income for the parents in their effort of bringing the children into the world. The excerpt shows Swift coming upon a whole new proposal, one that "<em>hath something solid and real, of no expence and little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England</em>". But all this came after he had "<em>been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at length utterly despairing of success</em>". Thus, Swift admits that after so much effort and time, he had finally arrived to a definitive solution for solving the poverty situation of Ireland, a solution that will be "<em>solid and real</em>".
