t was cold and wet, but in the small parlour of Laburnam Villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly. Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical changes, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire

Answer:

Quietly, patiently or serenely.

Explanation:

The adjective <em>placid </em>means that something is not easily upset or disturbed. As a result, since adverbs describe actions, in the  excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw" the adverb <em>placidly </em>is used to describe an action like knitting, thus indicating that the white-haired old lady is knitting in a gentle, peaceful and mild manner.

Do you think that this book or movie's vision of the
MrMuchimi

Imagine that i am reading a book for school vision of the future is not accurate is explained below.

Explanation:

Imagine that i am reading a book for school. First i need to find important details that i can use for an assignment.

When i started to read, i noticed that the book has very little punctuation. The sentences fail to form complete paragraphs and instead form one block of text without clear organization.

Most likely, this book would frustrate and confuse me. Without clear and concise sentences, it is difficult to find the information i want.

For both students and professionals, clear communication is important. Whether I am typing an email or writing a report or essay, it is our responsibility as the writer to present our thoughts and ideas clearly and precisely. Writing in complete sentences is one way to ensure that 1 communicate well. This section covers how to recognize and write basic sentence structures and how to avoid some common writing errors.

So I give this book 2 rating.
