A past participle is a form of verbs that, if formed regularly, has the form of "stem+ed".
The past participle of "tangle" is "tangled" and the sentence with the past participle is:
I stepped into the middle of the tangled vines.
(actually the last sentence also has a past participle in it, but not only, so I am not choosing it).
Bradbury repeatedly uses the color gray to describe the parlor. He chooses this color to show the depressing nature of the parlor. He sees the viewing parlor as a way for people to turn off from experiencing life and the world around them. All the vibrancy of life is drained out.
In contrast when he talks about the park he uses the color green. Green symbolizes life, growth, vitality. He's showing that society has become dull and miserable inside their homes instead of alive and joyous in the world.
Answer:
C). Exemplification.
Explanation:
'Exemplification' is demonstrated as the process of presenting an idea through examples or illustrations in order to make it more clear, understandable, and persuasive.
The given excerpt from Roosevelt's 1899 speech 'Strenuous life' uses the 'exemplification' method to represent his ideas more impactfully and convincingly to the audience. The use of various examples like 'worth your salt', 'wisely used leisure', etc. helps in clarifying his central idea behind this speech i.e. to show the benefits of a strenuous life not only on an individual but on the entire nation as it is the one 'we most need in this country, out of which reflects most honor upon the nation'. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
b. listen with empathy
The key characteristic for one listening with empathy is to give the speaker your undivided attention. Because Jeff fell asleep, he obviously had not been providing this. Further, when one is empathetic, one is able to understand the position/place of someone else. Obviously, if Jeff were speaking, he would want his audience to pay attention, so he should have recognized this and been conscious of that for Elizabeth. By Jeff falling asleep, he does not understand the perspective of someone else in order to recognize how to respectfully listen (or listen with empathy).
