4. Why is a prisoner shot while the factories are being bombed? The book night

1 answer:

8 0

The prisoner is shot because the act of shooting a prisoner is near instantaneous. The action has no duration that would justify the use of the present participle, unless it were an order that had been given and were still to be carried out. Bombing raids over the third reich could go on for hours at a time and be carried on over consecutive nights, so the factories are being bombed. Think of it like this, the decision to shoot the prisoner could be taken, the order given and carried out - and even the mess probably cleaned up - but still during all this while the factories could quite feasibly have been being bombed, continuously, and without respite. Eventually the factories would either cease to exist altogether, or the bombing would cease and the shell-like structures would have simply been bombed.

Hope I can help!

A short paragraph on wasting time plsss fasst

dimaraw [331]

Why do humans waste time? We all do it. We put off tasks we see as boring or procrastinate to avoid having to complete a task. We waste time by over thinking about situations when they require a split second decision. But is this really wasting time? Some situations require a little over thinking so could it be deemed un-nescassary to ponder over other options. You could save money, time and effort by just wondering about a simple 'what if?'. This brings up the question - is wasting time really a waste?

Exhibit : display :: send :_______?<br> a. show<br> b. emit<br> c. receive<br> d. stamp

Setler [38]

B. Emit

The first thing to do for questions like these is determine the relationship the first two words have with each other. Because “exhibit” and “display” both mean “to show,” they are synonyms. As such, the word pairing with “send” should be its synonym. One possible meaning for “send” is “transmit.” As such, the word in the options that means “transmit” is “emit,” which is the correct response.
