He refused to sit on the chair that he made because the chairs were made of the hair of the king of Brobdingnag. In the 7th chapter, the King had shaved his hair and Gulliver had weaved the hair into chairs just to satisfy the Queen of Brobdingnag’s curiosity.

The reason why Gulliver refuses to sit on the chair he has made for the Queen of Brobdingnag is because the chair was made from the queen's hair; therefore, sitting on it, according to Gulliver, would have been insulting to her. In other words, Gulliver believes that sitting on the queen's chair would not be an honorable thing to do. This is part of Chapter VI (Part II) of Gulliver's Travels written by Jonathan Swift.

uysha [10]

The correct answer is D) After the big game, my family wanted to celebrate. To understand why it's important to know that an adverbial phrase is when the adverb is used to describe when, where, how, how often or how long something happens. In this case, we have an adverbial phrase of time because it states when something happens: "After the big game" this part help us to understand when the action happens , also the reason behind why they wanted to celebrate and at the end, it adds more detail to the sentence "My family wanted to celebrate".

The adverb is placed at the beginning of the sentence so we can cross out the option B and also the option C. The option B is describing where the family come from and "from out of town" doesn't function here as an adverb, the function here is to describe the precedence of the family but no more details. The option A is incorrect because when we use "entire" as an adverb it only goes after a verb and in this case, we have "entire family" so it goes with a noun and it's not correct as an adverbial phrase.

1. Valid. The statement shows that if rock comes from Venus, it doesn't contain silicon. Rocks came either Mars or Venus. SO when rock contains silicon, it came from Mars not Venus.

(If Venus, then NOT silicon)

(Venus OR Mars)
