"The tigers <u>had been lying</u> in wait all morning."

The correct answer is perfect progressive tense.


Perfect progressive tense describes actions that took place in the past, and is still happening in the present, and/or will continue happening.

Progressive tense is an action that takes place in the past OR present Or future.

  • The tigers lied down in wait this morning. (past)
  • The tigers are lying down this morning. (present)
  • The tigers will lie down.  (future)

Perfect tense that started in the past and continues now.

  • I have learned a lot this semester. (present perfect)
  • I had learned a lot in elementary school. (past perfect)
  • I will have learned a lot when I finish college. (future perfect)

Which best describes the effect of structure and punctuation in Emily Dickinson's poetry?
adoni [48]
The purpose  is to influance the way her poems are read and understood. The dashes are used as to pause, to cause reflection, but also give the word strength. Exclamation points are used at the end of the verses where you can here ones overwhelmed by what one said. The commas are used as a description of one incomplete thought and confustion as they break down from one deep thought to another deep thought. I hope this helped.

Which of the following definitions of the word gun BEST defines the term as used in the sentence from “Selection 2: No More Interference in Our Personal Lives”?

<h2>‛‛</h2>

<em>       After you reach the end of your pasture, you spot them running down an open stretch of road, and you gun the engine to catch them.</em>

<h2>                                                                             ’’</h2>

any portable firearm

to shoot with a firearm

slang: a colloquialism for muscles

to cause an engine to increase speed quickly

The last option is the only one that makes the most sense for this scenario. To <em>gun </em>an engine means to quickly speed up or accelerate. The third option has to do with muscles, or biceps, so it is not correct. There is also no mention of a firearm in the example sentence provided, so none of the others would work.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!
