Answer:

He is described as “a thin young man with a brown face, with brown eyes and a head of tightly curled hair” which is why he is called Curley.  Curley is described as dressing in a somewhat aristocratic way, as if to separate himself from the lowly ranch hands. The glove is to keep his hand soft for his wife. Curley is the boss's son, and because his father only appears once, Curley is the main representative in the novella of the land-owning class. When this revenge plan fails and he loses face, Curley picks a fight with the vulnerable Lennie to reassert his status.

Rewrite the sentences placing the adverbs given in bracket at appropriate positions 1. He signed all the papers of the agreement
Ket [755]

Answer:

He readily signed all the papers of the agreement.

or

He signed all the papers of the agreement readily.

Explanation:

"Readily" is an adverb of manner, and it can be placed in two different positions in a sentence structure. When used in a mid-position, right before the verb, an adverb of manner is a bit less emphasized:

- She easily baked the cake.

When used in an end-position, the adverb gains more emphasis:

- She baked the cake easily.

Examples of adverbs of manner are: readily, easily, quickly, beautifully, happily, etc.

Having that in mind, we can easily place "readily" in the following positions:

He readily signed all the papers of the agreement.

or

He signed all the papers of the agreement readily.
