Answers: 1- A. Occured. 2- A. Solely. 3- B. Ordinary.

1) I pressed start and then a strange silence, not a steady, busy hum, ensued.

What is the meaning of the word ensued as it is used in this sentence?

The meaning of "ensued " as used in the sentence is "occurred". Ensued means to "occur" or "take place"

2) What connotation does exclusively have, as it is used in the following sentence from "Everyday Things"? This way, American manufacturers let their buyers know that they used Chinese graphite exclusively.

"exclusively" means "solely", which means "only involving", or "involving nothing else", solely, as exclusively means limited, or not to something else.

3) What is the connotation of mundane as it is used in the following sentence from "Everyday Things"? It is amazing how such a tradition has a profound effect on something as mundane, yet important, as pencil production.

"Mundane" literally means "ordinary" or "normal".

Need help please ASAP...it's due today....Write a short story about a squirrel trying to find a nut. Use examples of personifica
umka21 [38]

Answer:

It was a beautiful autumn day. The trees whispered in a crisp, cool breeze, their gold and red leaves on display. The river babbled nonstop, gushing by at a somewhat alarming rate. The still scent of early snow hung threateningly in the air. In the midst of it all, one of the smallest mammals found herself panicking in a rush to find food before a heavy layer of snow blanketed the ground tonight. The fluffy-tailed, brown-coated squirrel frantically clawed up clumps of dirt, rooting through the thick undergrowth. She had searched nearly half the area around her home, when suddenly...a snowflake landed on her nose. She cried out in dismay, sobbing as she desperately tore up the ground. Seconds passed. Minutes. Hours. The moon had awoken from its deep slumber, winking at the world as clouds passed over it. Her paws had grown numb and she could barely see past her own nose, the snow falling quicker and quicker around her. It showed the promise of a blizzard. A starving wolf howled in the distance, wondering where all the deer went. The squirrel paid him no mind, attempting to retrace her tracks back to her home. She didn't hear the pounding paws rushing toward her, muffled by the flurrying snow. She didn't notice the shadow suddenly blanketing her. She didn't notice the icy breath freezing in the air around her.

And it was too late.
