The purpose that the flashback serves in Act II of Our Town is to explain how George and Emily fell in love.
Before said flashback, <em>The Stage Manager</em> appears and says that before continuing with the story, we need to find out how George and Emily’s relationship began in the first place, and presents the situation where George and Emily first knew that they were meant for each other while having ice-cream at the local drugstore.
Answer:
B. I pressed myself against the trunk of a thick tree, a wolf in sheep's clothing waiting to strike.
Explanation:
This is the answer that best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone. In these lines, the author uses figurative language by describing the think trunk of the tree, and how he was "a wolf in sheep's clothing." Moreover, this matches the tone of the paragraph as it describes the author as a vicious attacker with little remorse.
Answer and Explanation:
A prepositional phrase is constituted by a preposition and its object (complement). We can easily find it in the sentence by finding the preposition.
Now, I know we are supposed to cross the prepositional phrases out as our first step, but since that format is not supported here, I will italicize them. Please, consider them as having been crossed out:
1. Gasoline <em>from the broken fuel line </em>dripped onto the floor of the garage.
2. Elephants often form lifelong bonds <em>with members of their herd</em>.
The next step is to find and underline the subject once. Remember, subjects are the topic of the sentence. Let's do this:
1. <u>Gasoline</u> dripped onto the floor of the garage.
2. <u>Elephants</u> often form lifelong bonds.
Finally, we must underline the verbs twice. Again, that format is not supported here, so I will highlight the verbs:
1. <u>Gasoline</u> dripped onto the floor of the garage.
2. <u>Elephants</u> often form lifelong bonds.
