Answer:
Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story, or a chapter, and it helps the reader develop expectations about the upcoming events. A writer may implement foreshadowing in many different ways.
Answer:
marked by or showing lethargy, passivity, or blameworthy indifference
Explanation:
Supine means, among other things, 'exhibiting passivity'; therefore, 'lying supinely' would be correctly defined as 'showing lethargy, passivity, or blameworthy indifference'.
The supporting evidence in the text:
The phrase<em> lying supinely on our backs</em> is linked by the coordinating conjunction <em>and</em>, (which is used to join equal ideas), to the following: <em>hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot.</em> It definitely suggests passivity and indifference.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A parlour is usually a sitting room or a small living room that is located between the entrance and the main part of the house or building. In some instances, a parlour can be larger and serve as a sort of tea room.
Inviting a guest into the parlour was a kind gesture and meant that they were officially a guest in the house.
Answer:
The Quest
Explanation:
<u>The Rebirth</u> – this is not the right answer. While The Lord of the Rings includes the rebirth of Gandalf in one moment, it’s not the main plot of the series.
<u> Voyage and Return</u> – this is not the correct answer. There is a narrative of the voyage in the story. Still, this is only as part of the quest, and the return is not the central part of the plot.
<u>Overcoming the Monster</u> – this is not the right answer. Slaying the monster is not the most important task of the fellowship, nor the most important plot point.
<u> The Quest – this is the right answer.</u> <u>The fellowship has a quest to fulfill. This quest is destroying the ring by throwing it into the Mordor. The other points in the plot (including the rebirth, voyage, and slaying the various monsters) are all just side plots to the main thing that is the point of the whole series, which is the quest.</u>
