1. The purpose of the line "In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match..." is to imply the main idea of the article. The statement that we can easily kindle fire today implies that there was a time when it wasn't so easy. That is why people had to figure out a way to kindle a fire without looking for a natural source. All of this supports the article's main idea, that match was a brilliant invention, which we shouldn't take for granted.

2. This line shows the need for matches. People had troubles with finding the fire, but it got even harder because any fire can easily get extinguished. This proves there was an urgent need to find a way to kindle fire without having to resort to nature at all times. The line doesn't show how dependable nature is - on the contrary, it shows that humans had to find a way to not depend on it. It doesn't show how people got the fire, or how long it took to make matches.

3. The correct answer is thesaurus. It is not an encyclopedia or an ordinary dictionary, but a dictionary of synonyms, that is words with similar meanings. It also contains antonyms (words with opposite meanings) and words with related meanings. When we don't know what a word means, we use a dictionary or an encyclopedia (or Wikipedia, for that matter). However, when we know its meaning, but are looking for a more appropriate word, we use a thesaurus.

Write a sentence using a gerund phrase with a pronoun subject.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Playing with his friends is his favorite activity.

Jane does not like running during the night.

Who is your best friend?

I don't want to be friends with a person who does not care about other people.

Explanation:

1) Write a sentence using a gerund phrase with a pronoun subject:

Playing with his friends is his favorite activity.

*In this case, the gerund phrase 'playing with his friends' is the subject of the sentence.

2) Write a sentence using a gerund phrase with a pronoun object.

Jane does not like running during the night.

*The gerund phrase 'running during the night' is the object of the sentence. It receives the action of the verb 'to like', as this is an activity that Jane does not like.

3) Write a question using a who-form interrogative pronoun.

Who is your best friend?

*Interrogative pronoun 'who' is used when we want to make questions about people, together with 'whose' and 'whom'. Other pronouns (which, what, etc.) are used to make questions about things.

4) Write a complete sentence using the correct who form to introduce a relative (adjective) clause.

I don't want to be friends with a person who does not care about other people.

*Relative clauses, as their name suggests, start with a relative pronoun (who, that, which, whose, etc.) Their purpose is to identify/provide more information about the noun that precedes them (the noun 'person', in this case).

When angela listens to a speech, she focuses on evaluating the facts and the evidence. this is an example of being a content-oriented listener.

Scholars now understand that effective speeches are speaker oriented, despite the fact that traditional approaches to speech planning were listener centric. An explicit statement of what you want your audience to understand, believe, or do is referred to as a speech aim.

When writing, practising, and delivering the speech, the speaker should keep the audience in mind at all times. If the speaker does her job successfully, the audience will concentrate on the subject matter as it should be.
