ad, one might say, a face. There was a mouth under the eyes, the lipless brim of which quivered and panted, and dropped saliva. The whole creature heaved and pulsated convulsively. A lank tentacular appendage gripped the edge of the cylinder, another swayed in the air.

What does the word "antediluvian" mean??
irakobra [83]
Antediluvian is an adjective and has two meanings:
1) of or belonging to the time before the Biblical flood
2) Ridiculously old fashioned or greatly out of date  (sometimes used in a humorous sense)
Here, I'll use it in a sentence: 

I often feel my mother wears clothes that are so antediluvian, she never has to worry about blending in with the crowds.

<span>As soon as the latest iPhone came out, the older models became antediluvian to tech experts.
</span>
Hope this helped! :)

1)In "love after love" which of the following lines from the poem contains a paradoxical image
iren [92.7K]
<span>1) B. Greeting yourself is a paradoxical image. One greets others. 2) C. In "Love on Love" the writer uses paradox to support the theme of healing the wounds from a broken heart. After all, you are alone in this poem. The author is asking you to, paradoxically again, "give back your heart". This, like the earlier greeting, means you will be giving your heart back to yourself; presumably because you gave it to someone else before.</span>

Artemon [7]

We can choose the following synonyms to substitute the words in the sentences:

10. C. gathered

11. D. opening

12. B. sound

13. A. inspiring awe and wonder

<h3>What is the meaning of the words?</h3>
  • The verb "to muster" means to assemble or collect something. Thus, we must choose the option that presents the same meaning (a synonym). In this case, letter C, "gathered" is the best one.
  • A "breach" is a gap or a rupture on something, especially a wall or a barrier. The option that means the same is letter D, "opening".
  • The idiom "hale and hearty" is used to refer to someone who is healthy and vigorous, especially when talking about older people. Among the options, the best one is B, "sound".
  • Finally, we say someone is "formidable" when we find them impressive. With that in mind, we can see that the best option is letter A, "inspiring awe and wonder."
