English
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. Walking along the shore, Rosie and her little sister began to notice many starfish on the rocks.

Explanation:

Participial phrase is a set of words whose main part is participle and as a whole functions as an adjective.

Infinitive phrase has an infinitive as main part and can have many functions in a sentence.

Sentences C. and D. don't have infinitive at all (to + verb).

Sentence B. has infinitive (to calm down) but it doesn't havs participle. "taking" although looks like participle, is actually gerund. The whole phrase (taking a long walk) doesn't modify any noun, it functions as a subject.

Finally, sentence A. has an infinitive (to notice) and infinitive phrase (to notice many starfish on the rocks). Since this modifies verb "began" this server as an adverb. Also, there iss a participle (walking) and participial phrase (walking along the shore). This functions as an adjective because it modifies Rosa and her sister.

In a response of two to three sentences, explain how the action described in the following lines helps show Grendel as a monster
Sedaia [141]
God is seen as a powerful being who, when angry, does things like flood the earth. If Grendel was baring God's anger then this suggests that he is a very powerful, mighty being but since he is angry he is powerful in a negative way. The word entrap also lends to the idea that Grendel is a monster because to entrap and make way with someone or something is a very negative thing.

Metamorphosis
german
Gregor was quite confused of how he changed in the dream therefore he was heavily affected by it and soon came to past. He felt sad when the raindrops pittered and pattered on the window pane which indeed matched his mood of how he was. But when his mother asked him if he wanted to go somewhere he replied in a forced but uncertain tone. Henceforth he felt partially full because of the meaning of how it had happened.
