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.

Read the paragraph that begins the "Veterans Stats" section of the article. This paragraph describes
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

According to the paragraph, the United States is home to millions of brave men and women who have served or who have continued to serve America in both wartime and peacetime.  They are not only military men and women, there are also millions of civilians of all classes, who risked their lives in the service of their fatherland, especially during conflicts and national disasters.

Explanation:

The Veterans Day Facts give some important information about the activities and statistics of veterans in the United States of America.  The facts show that veterans' day must not be confused with memorial day.  While the veterans’ day is a day set aside to honor all those who have made sacrifices for the survival of America, the memorial day is a Monday day in May when those who have lost their lives are remembered.  This shows that the veterans' day is more inclusive than the memorial day.
