By the nineteenth century, some of the ancient English families had lost their power, wealth, and influence.

In the passage Tess and Angel are looking at an old house once owned by the d'Urbervilles. Angel says, "There is something very sad in the extinction of a family of renown, even if it was fierce, domineering, feudal renown." This shows that some of the families that were once powerful in England have lost their power, wealth, and influence.

How I can write a paragraph using the words “scheme, hoard, irreproachable, conspicuous, and ominous??”

wariber [46]

<h3>I would write a "detective" paragraph, including a character they are researching, such as a thief.</h3><h3 />

<em>Sentence examples - </em>

...his hoard of stolen items lurking in his lair.
...with his sinister scheme, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce into action.
... slinking into the ominous darkness.
Leaving no conspicuous clues at the crime scene...
irreproachable idleness of sleep...

Example Paragraph -

I woke from my irreproachable idleness of sleep to the ring of my cell. At the absurd time of 1 am, I drowsily, picked up the phone, answering with a dull "Hello". A panicked and angry storekeeper yelled into my ear, reporting a robbery at his shop in the centre of Brocklevin, only a block away from my flat. We exchanged words as I quickly dressed. "I'll be there shortly," I assured the anxious storekeeper before hanging up and brisk;y wandering into the night, flashlight in hand. In just two minutes I had arrived. Carefully I stepped into the scene of the crime. The thief had done the crime in a rush, yet left no conspicuous clues to their identity at the crime scene. I kicked the several knocked over cans, searching for any evidence. As I walked about, there was no doubt in my mind that the criminal was forming another sinister scheme, waiting for the perfect opportunity to bounce back into action. Frustrated, I paced around the shards of broken glass. I tried to think like the thief, slinking into the ominous darkness of the ally. After what seemed like an hour of futile searching, I found something valuable. A small salmon-coloured pouch about the size of a wallet. Excited, I opened it with furious enthusiasm. Inside was a hoard of small objects and a single yellow rose.

Just think of my example paragraph as an inspiration, and create a unique scenario!
Hope this helped!~

Answer:

Revised

Explanation:

From the very beginning, every individual has had to battle against the tribe. If you experiment with it, you will be lonely a lot, and you might be scared. The only thing that is too expensive to pay for is having total freedom to run your life as you please. Nietzsche. As of 1960, individuals worldwide have become 12% more individualistic. Being different is important because blending in with society prevents you from truly being yourself. For the sake of argument, pretend you won't be choosing what you'll wear. You'll have to wear the same thing as everyone else around you.
