Answer and Explanation:
My story took place one day in my childhood, when only my younger brother and I were at home. My parents needed to leave the house for a few hours and we were left alone, however my brother who was a much younger child than me started exploring the house. He climbed onto a chair and began to fiddle with broken glass that was on top of my backyard wall. I didn't see what he was doing until I heard a very loud scream. I ran out into the yard and could see my brother with a bloody hand and broken glass stuck in it. I was also a kid at the time and I was very scared, but I had to help him by pulling the broken glass out of his hand and trying to stop the bleeding. Although everything worked out in the end, but that was a very scary experience that I witnessed.

Conditionals are used to express things that we think could happen, had happened, or will happen. There are different types.
- The Zero conditionals are universal truths. For example, it is a known fact that freezing water will make it solid.
- First conditionals are used to refer to future conditions that we believe are real or possible.
- Second conditionals are present or future conditions that are impossible or unlikely.
- The third conditionals are possible conditions in the past and their probable results.
- Mixed type conditionals are used to correlate a situation in the past and results that exist in the present.
Answer:
a) turn to activate
Explanation:
We can infer the meaning of the word from the context of this excerpt.
So, the emperor received a parcel containing a mechanical bird. After windidng the bird up, it could sing and move. This means the bird was activated in some kind of way.
Winding up something is a way of activating a toy, a clock or a mechanical device by turning the handle.
Notice that this verb is written in passive voice and in past tense "wind up - wound up".
"Wound" can also mean an injury, as a noun. This means that these two words are heteronyms; they are spelled the same, but have different meanings and are pronounced differently.
