Answer: D. to inform readers about Blair's apology
Explanation:
The article excerpt provides information about Blair's apology in an unbiased way, meaning that it doesn´t intend to convince the reader of whether an apology was in order or not.
Option A is incorrect because the idea that British diplomats had allegedly been working non-stop is how Blair, and not the article, intends to persuade people not to blame them. Option B is incorrect because the article doesn´t ask or even hint for people to help British survivors. Option C is incorrect because the article is not meant to explain why Britons were deserted, but to inform how Blair considers they were not deserted at all.
Answer:
1. Palpable - adjective
2. Impeccably - adverb
3. Deduction - noun
4. Exonerate - verb
Explanation:
1. Palpable - is an intense feeling that is as good as being touched. It is an adjective because it is descriptive.
2. Impeccably- Because of the -ly suffix attached to the root word, impeccable, we can deduce that the word is an adverb that tells us how impeccable or without faults a certain thing is.
3. Deduction - This is a noun because it is the name of a process. Deduction is inference or subtraction as the case may be.
4. Exonerate - This is an act of absolving a person of a fault. A verb is an action word or a doing word.
