Answer:

The correct answer is A. It reminded them of the colonialist experience.

Explanation:

War of the Worlds was written in 1898 by scifi pioneer writer H.G. Wells.  The plots deals with a so called outer space invasion to Earth and the destruction of all mankind.

Wells wrote this novel as a parody to crtiticize British colonialism. The destructive aliens represented the British,  and the human beings are just that, human beings.

In the excerpt, we can analyze that there is a "natural process of destruction" that occurs among different groups of beings. Those "superior" vanquish "inferior" ones, so as to justify humankind being exterminated by  "more evolved" Martians.

Hi. My question is that can you let me know that what are the exactly 7 pronouns in english with definations....Please help
N76 [4]

Answer:

The seven types of pronouns:

The personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the relative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.

Explanation:

1. An intensive pronoun is a pronoun ending in -self or -selves that serve to emphasize its antecedent.

2. A reflexive pronoun is a type of pronoun that is preceded by the adverb, adjective, pronoun, or noun to which it refers, so long as that antecedent is located within the same clause.

3. An indefinite pronoun is a pronoun that does not refer to any person, amount, or thing in particular, e.g. anything, something, anyone, everyone.

4. An interrogative pronoun is a pronoun which is used to make asking questions easy. There are just five interrogative pronouns. Each one is used to ask a very specific question or indirect question. Some, such as “who” and “whom,” refer only to people. Others can be used to refer to objects or people.

5. Demonstrative pronouns are Pronouns that point to specific things: this, that, these, and those, as in “This is an apple,” “Those are boys,” or “Take these to the clerk.” The same words are used as demonstrative adjectives when they modify nouns or pronouns: “this apple,” “those boys.”

6.  Personal pronouns: each of the pronouns in English ( I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, and them ) comprising a set that shows contrasts of person, gender, number, and case.

7. A relative pronoun is a type of pronoun that often introduces dependent (or relative) clauses in sentences
