Which statement describes the allusion in these lines from Shakespeare's Hamlet?

1 answer:

3 0

Because the rest of your doesn't seem to have been written here, I must assume the allusion you are referring to is possibly from this line; Hamlet calls Polonius Jephthah, after the priest in the Old Testament who sacrifices his daughter to God. This allusion suggests Polonius is sacrificing his daughter to trick Hamlet.

Choose the adverbial phrase to add more detail to the following sentence. My family wanted to celebrate. Choose the adverbial ph

uysha [10]

The correct answer is D) After the big game, my family wanted to celebrate. To understand why it's important to know that an adverbial phrase is when the adverb is used to describe when, where, how, how often or how long something happens. In this case, we have an adverbial phrase of time because it states when something happens: "After the big game" this part help us to understand when the action happens , also the reason behind why they wanted to celebrate and at the end, it adds more detail to the sentence "My family wanted to celebrate".

The adverb is placed at the beginning of the sentence so we can cross out the option B and also the option C. The option B is describing where the family come from and "from out of town" doesn't function here as an adverb, the function here is to describe the precedence of the family but no more details. The option A is incorrect because when we use "entire" as an adverb it only goes after a verb and in this case, we have "entire family" so it goes with a noun and it's not correct as an adverbial phrase.
