Answer:

<u>b. Action</u>

Explanation:

Characterization is a literary device that authors use to develop fictional characters in a story through their description. This characterization can be either direct or indirect. When it is direct, writers directly label a character as something or directly mention their traits, and when it is indirect, authors show the character's personality through dialogue, thoughts, behaviors, actions, and appearance.

The given sentence uses indirect characterization to describe the character, more specifically, it is using <u>action</u> because it is describing Ted's gesture while waiting for the dentist to arrive, in other words, it is describing what the character is doing. This description helps us infer something about him and his personality: He does not feel comfortable with the dentist's arrival, or with the waiting on the dentist's arrival.

Do any of these include a prepositional phase yes or no Bessie Coleman refused to give up. Early pilots performed stunts. Women
PolarNik [594]

The statement that has a prepositional phase here is:

Early pilots performed stunts

Explanation:

A prepositional phase is usually found in the beginning of the sentence.

The use of the preposition is to draw out the meaning of a noun or a pronoun with respect to another object in the sentence.

The common examples of such phases include Before, After, By, Under, Over and many other such examples which are there to accentuate a relation thus given.

Here, the use is simple.

The word Early is the prepositional phase which makes the connection between pilots and 'stunts' that is different from the one  made by the word 'performed' between them.

yarga [219]

Answer:

Michael and Bart did not finish their experiment in science class so Mr. Velasquez asked them to stop by after school. However, they couldn’t because they had football practice.

Explanation:

According to the given sentence, "Michael and Bart did not finish their experiment in science class so Mr. Velasquez asked them to stop by after school however they couldn’t because they had football practice", some elements of the sentence are incorrect, such as punctuation, capitalization, etc.

Therefore, the sentence should BEST be written as "Michael and Bart did not finish their experiment in science class so Mr. Velasquez asked them to stop by after school. However, they couldn’t because they had football practice."

With the addition of period, the two differing ideas are separated which makes them have a better meaning.

How can you describe Beatty and Montags conversion. what did they all think about it. farenheit 451
Ann [662]

Answer:

If you are referring to part 1 of the book, the conversation between Beatty and Montag indicates that she knows that Montague has books at home.

Explanation:

"Farenheit 451" is a book that presents a society where books are prohibited and whenever a book is found, it is set on fire by firefighters. This decision, and prohibit reading, happened because books allow society to think and reason about everything around them. Thus, a reading society is a society that is difficult to control and manipulate. In the conversation of Beatty and Montag at the beginning of the book, he presents this concept, since Beatty presents Montag as the absence of books allows the alienation and manipulation of society to be done in a very strong way. This conversation also reveals that Montag has hidden books and that it will be difficult for anyone to suspect him, since he is a firefighter.
