2. Were you surprised that Wightman's classmates turned out as they did? Why or
why not?
Answer:
Intensive
Explanation:
The options you were given are the following:
- intensive
- adjective
- noun
- empty word
- verb
The italicized word is <em>extremely</em>. It is an adverb. Adverbs are words used to modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Here, <em>extremely </em>modifies the adjective <em>busy</em>. This is why we can eliminate <em>noun, adjective, </em>and <em>verb</em> as potentially correct options.
Empty words are words that have no lexical meaning and function as a grammatical link or marker. An example of an empty word in English is the infinitive marker <em>to</em>.
Intensives are words used to show stronger, more forceful, or more concentrated actions. An example of an intensive used in English is <em>so</em>. Here, the word <em>extremely </em>intensifies the principal's busy-ness.
Limits are only limits if you accept them as such agree
The correct answer is A.
An Adverb Clause, also known as Adverbial Clause has the function of an adverb, and, in this case, it answers the question how, and talks about a possible situation and consequences: If you don't buy the tickets in advance, <em>you may not be able to get them</em>. The second sentence is a possible situation in the case of a delay to buy the tickets.
