English

Artemon [7]3 years ago

Answer:

A) Our staid coach surprised us with a joke that was totally out of character

Explanation:

Although staid's denotative meaning is "sedate, respectable, and unadventurous," the word is often used to describe people who are stodgy or dull. If one was surprised by someone telling a joke, and calls that "out of character", then we can infer that that person was usually rather boring. Therefore, using context clues, we can infer that this is the correct use of staid.

Please help! I'm roumanian.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

9 - A. If I hadn't gone to bed too late, I (wouldn't be) tired.

10 - C. If it gets hot, the snow (would melt).

11 - B. If I (were) you, I would follow your mum's advice.

12 - B. I would run away if I (saw) a ghost.

Explanation:

9 - The answer is (would't be), because you're using a past-tense form of will.

If you are saying "If I go to bed too late" Then you would be using (I would be)  tired.

But since it's a past tense, you would be using (wouldn't be).

10 - The answer is (would melt), because you're using a past-tense form of will.

You use would to preserve the future aspect when talking about the past.

11 - The answer is (were), because you're using a past-tense form of the verb “to be".

"If I (to be) you, I would follow your mum's advice."

So in that way, the answer would be (were).

12 - The answer is (Saw), because you're using a past-tense form.

You use saw when the the action is over,  like how it's said I would "run away" if I (saw) a ghost.

Hope that makes sense.

Hope I helped. if so, may I get brainlest and a thanks?

Thank you have a good day. =)
