Which sentence is written correctly?

Savatey [412]

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before I state the answer, we have to find which answer is NOT correct.

We can see that A and C, are incorrect because they say the word "except their reward" which is talking about excluding something, not "accept their reward" which it gathering or agreeing to something.

We also see that B is incorrect because when it says "Accept for Bill," this just doesn't even make sense because the word "accept" is gathering or agreeing to something.

So...

The correct answer is:

D.) Except for Bill, all of the players were present to accept their reward...

The devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them,

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:devour

Explanation:Devour according to Oxford dictionary refers eat all something quickly because you are extremely hungry this gives the same feeling or idea as the feeling provided by the word swallow .

Connotations refers to the feeling or an idea that we get from a certain word besides it's literally meaning.

When we hear the word swallow the idea that comes to mind is that someone just gobble up something and we get the same feeling with the word devour.

Connotations create an emotional attachment to that word.

How does Pip's disappointment compare with Miss Havisham's?

koban [17]

The correct answer is C. Disappointment makes Pip a better person, while it has made Miss Havisham bitter.

Miss Havisham suffered the worst disappointment of her life when she was defrauded by Compeyson and left hanging at the altar on her wedding day. She has become extremely withdrawn and bitter and now hates all men. She has indoctrinated Estella to be the instrument of her revenge on all men, emotionally and psychologically crippling her. Pip on the other hand is faced with several serious disappointments in his life but because he is an idealist he strives for his own betterment as a person every time. He is scorned and belittled by Estella yet he refuses to let go of his love for her and even when she gets married to Bentley Drummle he still loves her. Furthermore, even when Miss Havisham reveals that she is the one who manipulated Estella into marrying Bentley, Pip forgives her and saves her when her dress catches fire. He is then greatly disappointed again when he learns that his actual benefactor is the poor, ignorant ex-convict Abel Magwitch since he realizes that he owes his financial security to an outcast of the very classist society he worships. Instead of despising Abel Magwitch, he comes to question the extremely unfair and snobbish nature of his society.
