It was the day Ian learned the importance of being a big brother. Ian and his three-year old sister, Reece, were at the neighbor

hood pool. Before they got there, their mother told Ian to take special care to watch out for Reece who was still a quite weak swimmer. Ian said he would, but later got distracted by a game of "Gator." The next thing he knew, his mother dove into the water around him, and pulled his little sister up from the bottom. Reece was fine after she coughed awhile. Ian felt terrible. He felt very badly about not watching his sister. He made a resolution to be a better brother in the future.

Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "terrible" as "very unpleasant or serious or bad."

So, terrible is a synonym of feeling bad. In the given paragraph, the lines " Ian felt terrible." and "He felt very badly" are repetitions of each other.

The sentences " Ian felt terrible. He felt very badly about not watching his sister. He made a resolution to be a better brother in the future. " in this paragraph can be combined to eliminate repetition most effectively in the following way :

A) Ian felt very badly about not watching his sister, so he made a resolution to be a better brother in the future.

Which of the following lines from our town is an example of juxtaposition
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

"My, wasn't life's awful...and wonderful"

Explanation:

In the context of grammar, juxtaposition is a process of combining phrases and establishing syntactic relations between them. It is an operation similar to coordination and subordination.

The juxtaposition uses punctuation marks (in the written language) or pauses to link two sentences. Because it does not use links (such as "and", "from" or "to"), this process can give rise to different syntactic interpretations depending on the speaker's context or capabilities. The juxtaposition also allows one to join two simple sentences.

With this we can conclude that an example, where the juxtaposition is presented is the phrase "My, wasn't life's awful...and wonderful" .

Read this line from chapter 3 of The Metamorphosis: Was he an animal if music could captivate him so? How does this line reveal
slega [8]

The line from The Metamorphosis shows us that although Gregor has changed into an insect, he still has human thoughts and emotions. He can still think and feel like a human and appreciate the finer things in life, such as music, which would presumably be lost to him if he were solely an animal, especially an insect. So the line shows that although he has physically changed, mentally and emotionally he’s still a human.

Gregor’s role as a son and brother also undergoes a transformation along with his physical transformation. Prior to his transformation, his entire family is dependent on him and his job. However, after his transformation, he becomes dependent on other members of his family for his sustenance and survival. For example, in the initial days after his transformation, Grete feeds him, and he comes to depend on her for nourishment.

Gregor struggles with a number of identity issues in his new form. Although he has been transformed into an insect, he still has human feelings and sensations. However, being an insect, he cannot find a suitable outlet to express his feelings and emotions. The few instances in which he tries to reach out to other people or experience pleasure, as when he wants to hear Grete play the violin, he’s vehemently dismissed because of his repulsive form.
