The guests maintained chatter <em>during</em> the meal. It would be during because it expresses the relation in the sentence.<span />

Answer:

The answer is DURING.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the preposition is the word "during" and it is preceding the noun phrase "the meal". The most common prepositions in English are: under, behind, beside, during, on, next to, over, near, etc.

Some grammarians argue that prepositions are not lexical words since they do not carry meaning, but some others differ in this concept by arguing that it is not the same to say "the cat is on/under/behind/next to/ near the table". Hence, for many modern grammarians prepositions are lexical words because they carry meaning.

The leap by Louise Erdrich what statement best expresses the theme of the short story
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The clearest theme in “The Leap” is presented by the title itself, that of bridging gaps, making connections between things. Physical, temporal, and emotional connections provide a thread that runs through the story. The most obvious are the two physical leaps made by Anna, as a trapeze artist, to save herself and her children from fire.
