NISA [10]3 years ago

<span>An appositive (or an appositive phrase) gives more information about a noun. The appositive is usually placed next to the noun it modifies. Writers use appositive and appositive phrases in order to provide more information about something. Consider this sentence: Samson, my little puppy, tore the pillow apart. Here, the phrase "my little puppy" is an appositive phrase that tells us more about the noun "Samson." Thanks to the appositive phrase, the reader knows that it was a little puppy that tore the pillow apart, and not a person or other animal. Therefore, appositives are important in order to clearly convey information to the reader.</span>

Answer: A. Extraordinarily important.

Explanation: Based on the information presented in the excerpt, we can infer that the information in the wireless message was extraordinarily important, because all the signs the characters give each other without even saying a word, like that the twitching of "Blinker's" eyes became more pronounced as he was reading the message and also the seriousness of de Grey while he delivered the message.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Well, although the most prevalent example right now is of course the coronavirus pandemic, events like this have happened all throughout history. Think of the Black Death: it swept through Europe, killing tens of thousands and pretty much ending the system of feudalism. Though in modern times these pandemics have less potential to upend systems, they remain game changers. The H1N1 epidemic - the Spanish flu - sent shockwaves throughout the globe because of its scope and lethality.
