What grammatical structure is the italicized portion of the sentence?

English
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]3 years ago
7 0

The portion of the sentencd "adressed to my sister" is a PAST PARTICIPIAL PHRASE. Past participial phrases contain a verb in the past participle, in this case "adressed" and a modifier. This type of phrases function as an adjective because they provide extra informagion about a noun, in this case the "package".

None of the other options are correct because there are no adjectives, adverbs or infinitive verbs in the phrase given. It is not an elliptical clause because there are no words left out.

Answer:

D. Leaping and jumping

Explanation:

When we're unsure about what a word means, we can use different methods to figure out its meaning. One way is to look at the context - words and phrases that surround it. The paragraph tells about a racing horse that is trying to catch up with other horses. Based on the context, we can conclude that the word <em>cavorting </em>means <em>leaping and jumping</em><em>. </em>Words that especially lead to this conclusion are <em>scattering her legs around limber, sometimes in the air, and sometimes out to one side.</em>

Another way to find out what a word means is to look it up in a dictionary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words that contains different information about them, including their definitions and how they're used. There, we can see that this is what <em>cavorting </em>means.

7. What is the setting of the story? How is this setting connected to the Anglo-Saxon people in Britain?
galina1969 [7]

Anglo-Saxons liked to gather in the lord's great hall, to eat and drink, and to listen to songs and stories. They loved tales about brave warriors and their adventures. A favourite story told how Beowulf, a heroic prince, kills the fierce man-eating monster Grendel, and Grendel's equally horrid mother. The story of Beowulf was first written down in the 8th-9th centuries, but long before that the story was told around the fire. The storyteller played music to accompany the songs and poems, on a small harp or on another stringed instrument called a lyre
