Answer: None of the above explain the difference between the pronounciation of "wife" in Middle English and "wife" in Modern English.

<u>Final "e" in Middle English is pronounced as</u><u><em> schwa</em></u><u>, the neutral vowel sound in Modern English. </u>

Middle English was the form of English used in England from the time of the Norman Conquest  until the 16th century. The main difference between Middle English and Modern English is the pronunciation of the "long" vowels due to the Great Vowel Shift. In the case of "wife", in Middle English the final "e" is pronounced "uh", as an unstressed <em>schwa</em> (/ə/), and the German final "e", while in Modern English the final "e" is not pronounced.

DerKrebs [107]
Rita’s most favourite place in the world is the beach, a magical place full of life. Everything is in motion there, from the ferris wheel and the unceasingly pounding waves to the shores’ sand shifting back and fourth due to the tides. Beaches present a myriad of activities such as: snorkelling, surging and crabbing. Each day at the Beach with her friends and family is a miracle.
———-

Ok! So Beach is a noun, meaning it needs to be capitalized. (person place or thing. In this case a place) therefore a noun.

Good luck!

The answer is hyperbole. It is very unlikely that there was absolutely no money, absolutely nothing to buy, and absolutely nowhere to go. A hyperbole is a gross exaggeration, meaning that what is being said has been expanded to prove a point.
