Answer:

The word that is NOT a transitional word or phrase is Portrays.

Explanation:

<u>Transitional words</u> are used to link other words, phrases or sentences in a way that coherent relationships are built within the text and the reader can smoothly progress from one idea to the next one. Some examples of transitional words are <em>moreover, as a matter of fact, such as, likewise, </em><em>unlike, between, in contrast</em><em>,</em> etc. On the other hand, portrays is a content word that carries meaning. Therefore, <u>portrays </u><u>is the right answer.</u>

The correct answer is A. <span>"But in her web she still delights / To weave the mirror's magic sights." The confined Lady of Shalott mustn't directly look into the world outside. She can only do it through the magic mirror, and she has an irresistible need to weave what she sees in the mirror into her magic web - a genuinely artistic need to interpret the outside world, to endow it with meaning, to understand it, to relive it. In her situation, paradoxically, art is her only contact with the world because she is forbidden to walk outside or even take a direct look through the window.</span>

Which line best helps the reader understand Grendel’s character?
Tanzania [10]

Answer: <em>In time I began to be more amused than revolted by what they threatened. It didn’t matter to me what they did to each other.</em>

Explanation:

Grendel is a character from the epic poem Beowulf (AD 700–1000). Often depicted as a giant or a monster, Grendel tortures people in the mead-hall, Heorot, until king Hrothgar invites Beowulf to stop him.

This particular line best helps us understand Grendel's character, because we are given an insight into his thoughts. Grendel was irritated by the noise that came from Heorot during the feast. This is why he began attacking Hrothgar's people. Over the course of time, his anger towards them weakened, and killing people became fun. The very fact that Grendel is entertained by murdering people demonstrates his evil nature.
