Answer:
The option which best states the author's overall purpose in this text is:
D. To inform the reader of a theory that attempts to explain why generations act the way they do.
Explanation:
I looked this question up and found out it concerns the text "What Past Generations Can Teach Us About Our Future," by former Newsweek correspondent Mike Kubic (born in 1927).
According to the article, Strauss & Howe developed a theory that explains and, in a way, even predicts how each generation will act. There are four "turnings" or stages which generations go through. According to Strauss & Howe's observations, these stages always happen in the same order: high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis. The generation belonging to each turning will always present certain traits and behaviors concerning their sense of community, individualism, economic prosperity, respect for institutions, etc.
<u>According to Kubic, this theory has been both praised and criticized, even though, so far, it has been able to successfully make predictions about the American society. However, it is important to note that Kubic does not praise or criticize it himself. All he does is describe and explain it. His purpose is to inform readers about the existence of the theory.</u>
Answer:
In chapter eleven, the children are waiting in the Witch's castle for her to return and turn them into stone. They are very scared and when they hear her coming, they all hide. The Witch comes in and cannot find them, so she gets angry and turns a man into a statue. She then leaves the room and the children come out of hiding.
In chapter twelve, the Witch is getting ready to go out and she tells her servants to keep an eye on the children. She also tells them to bring the children to her if they try to leave. The children are then left alone and they start to explore the castle. They find a room full of books and they also find a room with a window that looks out onto a courtyard.
In chapter thirteen, the children are playing in the courtyard when they see the Witch coming. They all hide again, but the Witch finds Lucy. She is about to turn her into a statue when Aslan appears. The Witch is terrified of Aslan and she runs away. Aslan then talks to the children and he tells them that they are going to be free.
In chapter fourteen, the children are taken to a cave where they meet the White Witch. She is very old and she is dying. Aslan tells the children that they must forgive her, and they do. The Witch then dies and Aslan takes her body away.
In chapter fifteen, the children are back in the forest and they are waiting for Aslan to come and take them home. He does not come and they start to worry. Suddenly, they hear his voice and they follow it. Aslan is waiting for them at the edge of the forest and he takes them home.
Explanation:
A verb is used to describe an action.
Example: Joan is running to the park to play frisbee.
The key words are: is running.
So, in your question, since Uncle Joe is growing a beard, that'll mean your verb tense is present progressive. It's present progressive because he's growing something, and things that grow have a process to follow through.
