QUESTION

Answer:

"forty little demons ... who are."

Explanation:

The word "who" is meant to refer to humans, so its use with mythological beings, animals and objects represents a grammatical error. This error can be seen in the text when the word "who" is used to refer to demons. Demons are not human beings, so they cannot be referenced by the words "who", being the correct one, use the word "which".

There is a grammatical error in: "forty little demons ... <u>who</u> are."

You could argue that since "demons" are not human beings but rather supernatural, evil spirits or entities (often meddling with humans' lives), they should not be referred to using the pronoun "who," but with "which."

However, it is understandable thanks to the context that the author is talking about human children here. Using the pronoun "which" to refer to them, although it would be grammatically correct, would sound very harsh because dehumanizing.

Name the complete verb in the sentence "sue will often go to the movies on Saturday."
zhuklara [117]

Verb is a figure of speech that does action. In addition, a complete verb can include adverbials and prepositions. In this example, the action word is 'go'. But if we are talking about the complete verb, the answer should be 'will often go". This phrase altogether gives Sue not only an action, but also the frequency of the action.

The author starts the passage with this one-word sentence: "Warning!" Why
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

to entice the reader

Explanation:

you'd need to explore the connotations of the noun 'warning' it connotes deterrence and message . the purpose of an author is usually to spread a message so the author has deliberately started the passage with 'warning' to reassure the reader that they are here to bring the message , it could also be used to emphasise the dramatic his intended audience are as the warning also holds dramatic connotations , it could also allow the reader to relate with the author as they could both be seen as overly dramatic
