A rose exposed to the elements.
Answer:
B) taught, pores
Explanation:
The students were TAUGHT that an accomplished scientist always PORES over the results of an experiment.
Explanation:
it could be either. it depends on how you want to interpret it. going strictly by the grammar (because of the Can), it would be interrogative. but going by the intended meaning, it could be seen as imperative (a nicely worded order). are you looking at syntax or semantics?
Are there answer choices? If not, Just reading over this passage for the first time, It seems the narrator could be describing something very majestic, like a statue built in the ocean, of a god or something. it seems as though the narrator personifies this statue as though the statue itself is a character and has feelings, maybe even something to hide. Hope this helps!
