Answer:
We use Conditional tenses to talk about hypothetic situations in the future, in the past, and to talk about events that would have happened.
a. If we were to be hit by an iceberg, we would die.
b If my cat were to eat a mouse, it would be a predator.
c If I were never to go in the sun, I would be extremely pale.
Explanation:
Conditional tenses communicate hypothetical situations in the past, theories about what might have happened, what happens concerning facts that are always true, and events with a low probability to occur in the future.
The sentences in this exercise are using conditionals to talk about situations in the present or future that probably will not happen.
We use:
the word if + the subject + were to,.... + subject + would + verb in the infinitive....
In formal writing, we can use the subjects he, she, and it with the auxiliary were instead of was and then the verb in the infinitive. For example, If he were to fail his test, he would be sad.
Answer:
D). Meanings.
Explanation:
The interpretation or meanings that one attributes to a particular word or phrase is highly determined by the knowledge he/she possesses and their sensitivity.
In the given example, the statement 'you look tired' was common to both the women and the words remain same for both however the 'meanings' they attributed to it lead to varied interpretation and understanding of the words. Their sensibility differs from each other and thus, Brook finds it comforting while Bianca takes it as 'criticism'. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
Answer: A. the least work possible
The answer is:
Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.
In the excerpt from "The Nun's Priest's Tale" in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," Lady Pertelote the hen cries so loud that she is compared to Hasdrubal's wife's weeping. The reason is, her husband was killed by the Romans, the city was burned and she committed suicide. As a consequence, since the narrator describes the hen's grieving as so loud that it attacks the air, it is assumed Pertelote grieved and groaned desperately.
