Answer: Definition is the act of describing, or of making something definite, distinct, or clear.

Explanation: Definition is the action or power of describing, explaining, or making something definite and clear usually of words, or a group of words. It can also be seen as a statement of the meaning words or word groups or a signs or symbols etc. (dictionary definitions).

Certain terms often have many different senses and several meanings, and therefore, require multiple definitions. As such definitions are classed into three: intensional definitions that attempt to give the sense of a term, extensional definitions which try to list the things that a term describes and ostensive definitions, which convey the meaning of a term by giving examples.

What is ironic about what happens to Hauchecorne in "The Piece of String"?
Leno4ka [110]
Answer: C. His reputation for clever dealing betrays him when he tells the truth.

The statement in letter c shows irony because it presents contrasting events. Mr. Hauchecorne is a clever person  however the irony strikes on him when nobody believes him and makes fun of his cleverness when he said the truth about the string.

“Iraq War Blog”: What information mainly does the following passage convey?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

C. There is a sense of helplessness in dealing with the surrounding violence.

Explanation:

A. does not work because the author has made it clear that regardless of the precautions taken, abductions still occur.

B. The violence in Iraq is not being compared to that of neighboring countries. It is just Iraq's violence that is being focused on in the passage.

C. As with A, the author has made it clear that you can become abducted without a driver, with a driver, without bodyguards, and with bodyguards, so there is not much you can do but hope you are left alone, which is a feeling of helplessness. It can happen no matter what you do.

D. This is incorrect because it said in the passage that even with bodyguards you can be abducted.

Surprise sentence as verb
Nana76 [90]
Hello there! A sentence with a verb in it would be as follows:

I had to run so that I did not miss my bus.

The verb in this sentence would be the word “run,” because it shows an action that a person can physically perform.

An action verb is a word or phrase that shows action in what a person or object does. Given the definition, we can imply that any word that is a course of action somebody can perform is identified as a verb.

However, there are different kinds of verbs too. A linking verb is a word that links the predicate (the part of a sentence including the verb and stating what the subject does) with the subject (who or what the sentence is about). Words that are linking verbs include “like,” “be,” “is,” “are,” “was,” and “were.” A sentence containing a linking verb would look like this:

“She was so noisy, she sounded like the principal from Matilda!”

See the connection? In this sentence, the creator used the linking verb “like” to form a resemblance of the girl being loud with the principal from Matilda. Sentences with linking verbs can be effective depending on how they are used. If you need any extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
