In the sentence "<em>It took </em><em>less</em><em> time to drive from one city to the other than they had anticipated</em>", the answer that correctly describes the bolded word is D:

<u>The word </u><u>less</u><u> is an adverb describing to what extent.</u>

In this sentence, the word less functions as an adverb; this means that it modifies or qualifies an adjective, a verb (in this case), or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc.

Answer:

D) the word less is an adverb describing to what extent.

Explanation:

An adverb is a word that modifies, adds further information or that puts more or less emphasis to a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase or a clause. We can normally identify them in a text when they provide a description of how, where, when, in what manner and to what extent something is or something is done or happens.

In the sentence, the word "less" acts as an adverb because it describes to what extent it <u>took</u> (a verb) to drive from one city to the other.

1. How would the relationship between Young Goodman Brown and Faith best be described in this passage?

Answer:<u> </u><u>Loving, but momentarily strained due to a festering, unspoken secret.</u>

Explanation: <em>Young Goodman Brown</em> and<em> Faith</em> are characters in the Nathaniel Hawthorne's story, <u>"Young Goodman Brown."</u> The story focuses on Young Goodman Brown leaving his wife for a task in the forest. Faith begged her husband to stay with her for the night and forget about the errand but Brown insisted of going. The passage shows that both of them are loving because even if Faith wanted her husband to stay, her husband left but this didn't make Faith feel bad. However, Faith doubted her husband's leaving for a moment but Brown assured her that he love her and that she shouldn't doubt him. Somehow, there was an unspoken secret regarding the unknown errand of Brown.

2. What common theme, or topic, is touched upon both in the letter and the short story excerpt?

Answer: <u>D. the differing responses of husbands and wives to a farewell</u>

Explanation: The topic in the letter and short story excerpt shows how the responses of husbands and wives differ when it comes to farewell. For the wife in the letter, kissing her and saying goodbye is what she favors. She finds it questionable why it's hard for her husband to do that even if she asks him to.

The short story excerpt also describes a similar occurrence when Faith had a hard time saying goodbye to Young Goodman Brown. Yet, Brown assured her that he'd be back soon enough and it was only one night that he'd be away.

3. Based on this excerpt from the story, what can be said about the relationship between Young Goodman Brown and his wife Faith?

Answer:<u> D. There is a great deal of love, but some fear.</u>

Explanation: The relationship between Young Goodman Brown and Faith shows a great deal of love. They even address each other so lovingly. Nevertheless, there is fear in their relationship since Brown went away without telling Faith about his errand in the forest. This causes some fear, especially on Faith's end.

Upon encountering the old man who tempted Goodman into attending the ceremony, Goodman was afraid that Faith would have been one of those who turned into evil. So, this shows that he truly loves Faith yet was afraid of what might have happened to her.

Read the dialogue from Act III of Hamlet. Hamlet: Now, mother, what’s the matter? Gertrude: Hamlet, thou hast thy father much of
Oxana [17]

The correct answer is Queen Gertrude is caught between her new husband and her son.

B is definitely incorrect because his father is dead so he cannot observe his conversation; C is incorrect because Gertrude believes Hamlet should blindly follow what Claudius has to say; D is incorrect because Hamlet hates Claudius.

This leaves us with sentence A - Gertrude has just lost her husband but she remarried immediately. Now, she is torn between her son whom she loves, and her new husband, who she feels she should obey.

Explanation:

When reporting sentences, we must pay attention to the following:

1. The subject of the reported sentence will change according to the context. For instance, in sentence 2 above, the subject is the same as the person reporting the sentence. However, in sentence 5, the subject is "he", the person who asked the question is "she", and the person reporting or the current speaker is "me".

2. We usually change the verb tense to the past of what was used in the original sentence. For instance, simple present to simple past, present perfect to past perfect, will to would, etc. Notice that in sentence 2, "would" did not need to change.

3. When we report a question, we must not maintain the interrogative structure. Therefore, we make the necessary changes, such as suppressing auxiliaries or simply moving them. Take a look at sentence 5.
