Answer:

gerund, not a participle

Explanation:

The antique painting was sold for $100,000. The italicized word is the gerund. This word is a gerund because it is functioning as a noun. Gerunds have nominal functions. Painting is synonymous wit picture .Participles do not; they denote actions. For example: " I saw her painting the wall" carries a participle: painting. It can be corrected as "I saw her when she was painting the wall."  Notice how the full past continuous has been retrieved. This means auxiliary + participle.

Which of the following is not an example of a job skill
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

A). Attending work everyday.

Explanation:

Job skill is described as a set of abilities or talents that permits an individual to accomplish a particular job. A candidate while appearing for a job needs to propose a list of his skills or abilities to the employer in order to qualify for the post. These skills include management and leadership skills, technical skills, organizational skills, analytical skills, etc. which could be learned through experiential learning.

In the given question, 'attending work every day' does not exemplify a job skill as it does not reflect one's ability to accomplish a specific job but rather doing it with punctuality while the other options like 'being creative, working well in groups or teams, or being good with computers' exemplify expertise or talent that can help accomplish various jobs at an organization. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Which genre uses techniques such as figurative language to explore
Anna007 [38]
Figurative language is most common in poetry, but poetry does not always explore thought in a concise way, more often it tried to convey a feeling or an impression than treats the subject in detail. 

Therefore I would choose a "novel" - it can use figurative language (unlike exploratory essay), but it also deals with ideas and thought is a profound, comprehensive way (but note that some poems will also do that!)

What happened in 1966, and what did this mean for Cisneros and her brothers? <br>PLEASE HELP <br>​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

In 1966, Cisneros' parents managed to make a down payment on a small red bungalow, thus putting a stop to their often house shifting pattern. This allows the siblings to have a permanent school and not make new friends every time they move into a new location.

Explanation:

Sandra Cisneros is an American writer but with a Latin background. Brought up amidst poverty, and with Mexican immigrant father whose salary barely made ends meet. And along with the Senior Cisneros family still residing in Mexico City, the family had to make annual trips to the South American country.

And after each trip, the family would have to pack and move into a new apartment, a new location, and thus, new schools. This means there is no sense of permanency in their lives, especially the children. This greatly affected their life, especially Sandra who found it hard to make friends and have a feeling of belonging to a particular place.

In<u> 1966, her parents managed to buy their own place, a small red bungalow which provides the family with a bit of permanent location. This ownership of a house of their own meant that she and her brothers will now no longer have to move around and change schools every year</u>.
