Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to. That way it is impossible to answer your question. However, I will help you by showing you what "mood" is within a narrative and showing you how to recognize a change in mood within the story.
When you read a story, you realize that the narrative conveys a kind of emotion, through the narration of the facts and through the actions of the characters. The emotion being conveyed is the mood of the narrative. Often, this mood changes during reading, this change can be gradual or drastic, in addition to showing similar or completely different emotions.
Books with sad and melancholy stories convey an equally sad emotion. That way we can say that the narrative has a sad mood. However, over time the characters begin to change and begin to win their battles and be happy. In this way, the narrative begins to change to a happy mood, for example.
It is true that Dr. Samuel Johnson compiled the first dictionary by using the historical method of research.
Answer:
Throughout the passage, the shift in the physical description of the landlady does impact the story's meaning. At first, when you hear what the landlady looks like, you'll think that she's not at all "wrong in the head", but as you progress through the story, the landlady morphs into a detrimental woman. When Billy sees the landlady at the start, he thinks that she " looked exactly like the mother of one’s best school-friend welcoming one into the house to stay for the Christmas holidays (29)". He basically thinks that she's just a kind woman who won't do him any harm. Later, "he caught a whiff of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate26 directly from her person. It was not in the least unpleasant, and it reminded him — well, he wasn’t quite sure what it reminded him of. Pickled walnuts? New leather? Or was it the corridors of a hospital? (78)". He thought that she was "dotty", but he didn't care, nor does he really pay any close attention to how she acted or looked. All he thought was since she invited him to a place to stay for a good amount of money, she was welcoming and inviting, therefore, he assumed that she was innocent and not at all "wrong in the head". In the beginning, we all thought that this was going to be an innocent story where Billy enters a house and a landlady allows him to stay there. The landlady would mind her own business and be polite and Billy would be safe and just be there for a tiny bit, all happy and everything would be just fine. But no. As the story reveals more, it gets more twisted and dark. The landlady turns out to be purposefully poisoning Billy with tea and probably stuffing him later. All things will turn for a deadly end
Explanation:
A dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand on its own. This means that it does not have a subject that matches a verb to form a complete sentence or thought. The correct answer for this case, would be A.
In the clause, “during intermission, while we were discussing the performance” there are prepositional phrases that need to be accompanied by an independent clause to make a complete sentence.
A way to potentially complete this sentence would be “ during intermission, when we were discussing the performance, we ordered a popcorn from the concession stand in the theater.”
