ere. The Tuatha Dé Dannan came to the coast of Connemara in clouds of mist. Some say they sailed into the harbor like men and burned their boats, creating smoke that spread out across the land. Others swear that they came down from the heavens on dark clouds like a fine rain. These supernatural beings brought with them three days and three nights of complete darkness, a harbinger of changes to come.

The correct answer is C. Reference Pronoun.

Explanation:

The pronoun is used to replace the noun in a sentence. The pronoun can be placed as a reference when the noun was previously mentioned. In this particular case, the word "Them" is a reference to the words " Supernatural beings". So, in order to avoid the repetition of these words, we use the reference pronoun.

These supernatural beings brought with them three days and three nights of complete darkness, a harbinger of changes to come.

C. Reference Pronoun

A reference pronoun is a pronoun that refers to (or stands in for) a noun or noun phrase, also called an antecedent. In the sentence, "them" refers to the noun phrase (which also functions as the subject): "These supernatural beings", whose personal pronoun is "they".

The other options are incorrect because

  • The possessive pronoun of "They" is "theirs", not "them" (A).
  • "Them" never works as a subject in a sentence and the subject is already established: "These supernatural beings" (B)
  • And lastly, "them" does not work as an object pronoun because it is not the object of the main verb ("brought).

There have been many film adaptations of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. How do most film adaptations differ from the origina
PolarNik [594]
It looks like you answered your own question, but they also change the theme of the story from one of abandonment, control, and approval/validation.

Frankenstein creates his monster after his mother dies, leaving him feeling abandoned.

His creation is an attempt to give life without the need for a woman (controlling life).

The monster spends much of the story seeking validation from his creator, who wants nothing to do with him. In some sense, this parallels Victor's inability to cope with his mother's loss, except that Victor is still very much alive. I'm sure many people view this as a religious allegory (God abandoning humans). 

I don't recall catching any of that in the movies. Instead, they turn it into the typical battle against the unknown/unfamiliar. The monster is not understood, and is grotesque looking, so the people want it gone. Of course, none of the pitchforks and torches are ever carried in the novel. 

Of course, there's also the issue of Frankenstein's presentation on screen. In the book, he's clearly described as being yellow; yet, in most of the movies, he's green. Oh, and Frankenstein never yells "it's alive!"
