Answer:

A-"The Necklace"

Explanation:

In literature, the tone refers to the attitude of a writer towards something. In "The Gift of the Magi," the author O. henry describes how unprosperous Della and Jim spend a lot of money to buy each other something they will not be able to use. Similarly, in "The Necklace," Guy de Maupassant, Mathilde Loisel and her husband devote the last years of their lives to pay out for a borrowed necklace which turns out to be fake.

Which two sentences in this excerpt from Sir Walter Scott's /vanhoe indicate that the novel is a work of historical fiction?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

"...Princess Matilda, though a daughter of the King of Scotland, and afterwards both Queen of England. niece to Edgar Atheling, and mother to the Empress of Germany, the daughter, the wife, and the mother of monarchs, was obliged, during her early residence for education in England, to assure the veil of a nun, as the only means of escaping the licentious pursuit of the Norman nobles. "

It was a matter of public knowledge, they said, that after the conquest of King William, his Norman followers, elated by so great a victory, acknowledged no law but their own wicked pleasure, and not only despoiled the conquered Saxons of their lands and their goods, but invaded the honor of their wives and of their daughters with the most unbridled license.

Explanation:

Two historical characters, Princess Matilda and King William, are mentioned and described in these two lines. Ivanhoe seems to be a work of historical fiction based on these two phrases.

2. Which answer choice is a word built from the base word satisfy by
raketka [301]

Answer:

The answer choice is:

c. dissatisfaction

Explanation:

Let's take a look at each option and use elimination to find the correct one.

a. satisfaction --> consists of the base word satisfy and the suffix -tion. Since there is no prefix, this is INCORRECT.

b. dissatisfy --> consists of the prefix dis- and the base word satisfy. Since there is no suffix, this is also INCORRECT.

c. dissatisfaction --> CORRECT option. It is formed by the prefix dis-, the base word satisfy, and the suffix -tion.

d. satisfactorily --> consists of the base word satisfy and two suffixes, - ory and -ly. This is not what we are looking for, so it is INCORRECT.

<u>A prefix is a letter or group of letters which are placed at the beginning of a word. A suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the ending of a word. Both are used to transform that word into a new one by altering its meaning.</u>

muminat

1. Inclined

Inclined means to be favorable towards something. In this sentence Jacob is not inclined or not in favor of switching spots with anyone else in the car.

2. incisive

Incisive means cutting (think incision like in surgery). In this case the word biting is the context clue that tells us incisive, or cutting, would be the best fit.
