Answer:

In sentence 10 the words knowing, writing, and speaking are all examples of gerunds

Explanation:

The line ten of this excerpt shows the use of gerunds as different parts of the speech, gerunds can have varied uses and they always end in "ing" such as "knowing, writing, and speaking", these gerunds can work as subject of the sentence, the direct object, the subject complement, or an object of a preposition.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer: why Annie made the changes she did

Explanation:

The first sentence stated that "Finally, on June 25, 1894, she was off". The sentence along with the second sentence doesn't give information regarding the reason for Annie made the changes that she made.

The sentence three stated that "It had taken her three months to travel approximately 1,300 miles, and she had more than 20,000 miles left to cover".

Without the writer not including the statistic in sentence 3, it'll have been unclear why Annie made the changes she did.

Based on this excerpt, what can be inferred about Oliver’s neighbors?
vichka [17]
I have found the excerpt and the choices from another source. I will paste them below:

<span>They laughed at his wild excess of speech, of feeling, and of gesture. They were silent before the maniac fury of his sprees, which occurred almost punctually every two months, and lasted two or three days. They picked him foul and witless from the cobbles, and brought him home . . . . And always they handled him with tender care, feeling something strange and proud and glorious lost in [him]. . . . He was a stranger to them: no one—not even Eliza—ever called him by his first name. He was—and remained thereafter—"Mister" Gant. . . . 

</span>A. They spread gossip about his unusual conduct.
B. They consider him a talented man and good friend.
C. They think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
D. They worry about his excessive behaviors.

The excerpt would tell us that Oliver's neighbors (C) think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.

We know that the neighbors think Oliver is peculiar or strange through the first half of the excerpt and from the line "he was a stranger to them". Despite this strangeness though, we can also infer that the neighbors revere or deeply respect him because they still "handled him with tender care".
