"I believed every word he said." Is this sentence a verb phrase
Talja [164]
No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.

Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).

In a paragraph of at least three sentences, explain the mood of this excerpt from Little Brother. Provide details from the text
padilas [110]

Answer:

The mood here is one of uncertainty, the character is not exactly afraid but he is most certainly in an unknown place. His first reaction is to take in his surroundings and analyze his position. This shows ,in this scene at least, that the character is not one to be scared of unusual circumstances.
