Answer:
C) You should stress the first syllable because it is a noun that means a current moment or period in time.
Explanation:
The word "present" has different meanings that are revealed through the context and the pronunciation used. In the sentence "Present-day artists continue to be inspired by this river," the word present does not refer to a gift, to the person not being absent, or to the action of offering something. <u>When we talk of a present-day something or someone, we mean that thing or person exists now, in the current period of time - not in the past, not in the future. In that case, the pronunciation stresses the first syllable.</u> With that in mind, the best option is letter C) You should stress the first syllable because it is a noun that means a current moment or period in time.
Answer: 1. c) forced, 2. c) villainous, 3. d) attractive.
Explanation: In "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens, based on the context, fain most likely means <u><em>forced</em></u>. To fain means to be constrained, compelled or obliged.
The form that the word "villain" would best be used in the sentence below is "<u><em>villainous</em></u>", which means an evil intent.
In this sentence from "A Tale of Two Cities", based on the context, a savoury neighbourhood is an attractive neigbourhood. Not savoury is not pleasant or not socially acceptable. This sentence states that "Mr. Cruncher's apartments were NOT in a savoury neighbourhood" so savoury means <u><em>attractive</em></u>.
