At six-thirty, he gave an order to move out, and the column of vehicles left Fort Detrick's main gate and headed south, toward t

he Potomac River. It consisted of a line of ordinary automobiles—the officers' family cars, with the officers inside wearing civilian clothes, looking like commuters. The line of cars followed behind two unmarked military vehicles. One was a supply van and the other was a snow-white ambulance. It was an unmarked Level 4 biocontainment ambulance. Inside it there were an Army medical-evacuation team and a biocontainment pod known as a bubble stretcher. This was a combat medical stretcher enclosed by a biocontainment bubble made of clear plastic. If someone was bitten by a monkey, he would go into the bubble, and from there he would be transferred to the Slammer. The supply van was a white unmarked refrigerator truck. This was to hold dead monkeys and tubes of blood.

One effect of Latin upon Old English syntax was the reliance upon word endings rather than word order. True False
Natasha2012 [34]

False. Old English was a synthetic language, which means that words' endings signalled grammatical order and word order was rather free. As Old English differentiated words' categories through their endings, words could be placed anywhere in a sentence and readers would know the category of the words.

Whenever you read about Latin's influence on Old English, you will find its influence on Old English vocabulary. As scribes translated Latin works into Old English, they frequently found no translation for some Latin words and, thus, they introduced new Latin ones.

Why is it important to pick a narrator carefully when planning to write a narrative? The narrator tells the story, but it is the
jeka94

Answer:

4) The narrative will change depending on the narrator's tone and point-of-view.

Explanation:

It is the <em>narrator's role </em>to tell the readers/audiences about what's happening in the story. He/She becomes the<em><u> readers' lens, </u></em>thus, their knowledge will largely rely on what is being narrated.

It is important to carefully pick a narrator when planning to write a narrative. A story can take a first-person perspective wherein the reader will have a deep connection with the main character in the story. However, his point-of-view will only be limited to what that character thinks. It can take the second-person perspective wherein<u><em> the writer or author wants to directly convey his message to the reader.</em></u> Another perspective is the third-person wherein the reader will know everything that is happening in the story. A change in perspective changes the tone of the narrator, as well as his point-of-view. This largely affects the readers'/audiences' understanding.
