Why were the boys half-relieved and half-daunted by the beast?

English
1 answer:
Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
5 0
The boys were made of the older ones and the younger ones.
Most of the boys were half-relieved, because rationally, they knew a beast really doesn't exist. However, they are stuck on a strange and unknown island, and the younger kids believed that it existed because Jack told them. Jack ruled by fear, and by telling them about a "beast" to keep them in fear.

3x+7=x - 15 i dont know how to solve it <br> the answer is -11 but i dont know how to get to that
SSSSS [86.1K]
3x + 7 = x - 15

First, make sure to subtract x from both sides.
3x + 7 - x = -15
Second, simplify 3x - x to get 2x, and then keep the 7.
2x + 7 = -15
Third, subtract 7 from both sides. 
2x = -15 - 7
Fourth, simplify -15 - 7 to get -22.
2x = -22
Fifth, take the 2 and divide both sides by it, keeping the x by itself.
x = - \frac{22}{2}
Sixth, since 11 goes into 2 to get 22, simplify the fraction to 11.
x = -11

Answer: x = -11

The ball is running _____ us.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

towards

Explanation:

A preposition can be defined as a word that shows or illustrates the relationship between a pronoun or noun and other words in a sentence.

The main purpose of a preposition as a part of speech is to introduce an object (of, upon), indicate a timeframe (from, by, over), show direction (to, across, along), location or place (at, up, after, below) and to illustrate the spatial or sequential relationship between two or more things, people, place, etc.

Some examples of a preposition used in various literary works in English language are up, below, after, by, against, for, over, at, to, towards, etc.

Hence, the most appropriate word to fill the blank is "towards" and the complete sentence would be written as; "The ball is running towards us."

In English language, towards is a preposition that is used to describe the direction in which something or someone moves.
