Question

1. Part A In ‘The Phantom Tollbooth, Act I, Azaz gives Milo a box of letters of the alphabet so Milo

Answer 1

The answer to #4 is "By" because a preposition word is a word that procedes to a noun or a pronoun. Some examples are "after", "against", "before", "behind", "below", ect... In this case the preposition is "by" and it procedes to the words "royal proclamanation"

Answer 2

The correct answers are:

1. Part A - In “The Phantom Tollbooth”, Act I, Azaz gives Milo a box of letters of the alphabet so Milo will be protected on his journey.

Part B - The excerpt from the play that best supports the reason identified in the previous question is the following: “With them you can form all the words you will ever need to help you overcome the obstacles that may stand in your path.”.

2. A character from Act I of “The Phantom Tollbooth” (1961) one could choose to describe is Milo. Milo is a small boy who is bored and who finds everything in life to be uninteresting. His major disdain is for school work, since he thinks it is useless. One can spot this thinking of Milo when he says, “I can't see the point in learning to solve useless problems, or subtracting turnips from turnips, or knowing where Ethiopia is or how to spell February” (Act I).

3. The phrase containing a prepositional phrase is the following “Milo meets King Azaz in Dictionopolis”. The prepositional phrase is “in Dictionopolis”, which is introduced by the preposition “in”.

4. The preposition in the sentence “Today, by royal proclamation, is Market Day” is “by”.

5. The appositive in the sentence “Sarah’s dog, Buddy, dug in the garden” is “Buddy”.

6. The word similar to “unabridged” is “total”. When something like a book or an article is unabridged, it means that it has not had any words or paragraphs removed from it.

7. The sentence in which the meaning of the word “unethical” is best expressed is the following: “Brandy didn’t have time to finish his paper, so he had a friend do it for him.”. By definition, unethical means that something is morally wrong, or against accepted standards of behaviour, especially in a particular profession. In this case, it is morally wrong to have your paper finished by someone else when it is your responsibility to do it.

8. If someone tells you a precautionary tale, he or she is probably trying to stop you from making the same choice the main character did. By definition, a cautionary tale is a tale told in folklore, to warn its listener of a danger.
