She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Signifying <u>nothing</u>.

Explanation:

These lines are a quote from the tragedy play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Taken from Act V scene v, these words are said by Macbeth after he hears of the death of his wife, lady Macbeth.

Macbeth at first seemed to be shaken with the news brought by Seyton that "<em>the queen, my lord, is dead</em>." But then, Macbeth began talking of the inevitability of death for everyone. He accepts that "<em>she should have died hereafter</em>", and that "<em>Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/ Signifying nothing.</em>" This could also be taken as his acceptance of the meaninglessness and the futility of human life, which also indirectly made his act of murdering King Duncan an insignificant act. He is in a way, justifying his murderous acts and seems to imply their insignificance. After all, life is just a shadow cast by a brief candle.

Change it into Passive voice. <br><br>Quaid-e-Azam had struggled very hard to create Pakistan. ​
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Pakistan had been created by Quaid-e-Azam with a lot of struggle.

Explanation:

In grammar, voice is the relationship between the action or state expressed by the verb and the participants of the sentence, such as the subject, object, and others. There are two voices in English:

  • The active voice - the sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb (e.g <em>Anna is feeding the dog</em>).
  • The passive voice - the subject is the recipient of a verb's action (e.g. <em>The dog is being fed by Anna</em>).

Written in the passive voice, the given sentence will look like this:

<em>Pakistan was created by Quaid-e-Azam with a lot of struggle.</em>

You can see more about converting the active into passive voice below:

What do you know about sign languages?
enyata [817]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Explanation:

All three options would be great answers!

Choice A is true because people use all three to communicate in sign language. For example, if someone is signing the word "sad," then they may frown while signing the word. Another example would be if someone is really excited about what they're signing, then they may jump up and down while doing so.

Choice B is especially true with sign language. Many deaf and hard-of-hearing people rely on sign language as their main method of communicating. Since sign language relies on sight rather than sound, it's a great way for these people to communicate.

Choice C is true as well! Each word in sign language has its own hand motion(s). Sign language is its own language, so its similar to how we speak different words to communicate different ideas. Hope this helps!
