Answer:C. The visitor left his stick behind.

Explanation:

Your question is referring to the excerpt from ''The Hound of the Baskervilles''  by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in which Sherlock is describing his visitor at the beginning of the first chapter.

''Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he stayed up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before.''

After that, Sherlock picks up the stick and read what is written on it and then he is asking Watson about his opinion on it.

He was considered as the absent-minded because he left something with his name and evidence that is showing that he was there. If he was aware, he would not do that. In that way, Sherlock got all information about him.

What are ways that an author can create an Expressionist style? Select all that apply.
Iteru [2.4K]

expressionism is often considered a revolt against realism and naturalism, seeking to achieve a psychological or spiritual reality rather than record external events in logical sequence. In the novel, the term is closely allied to the writing of Franz Kafka and James Joyce (see stream of consciousness).

Write a short story about literally anything please make it at least 3 paragraphs
Savatey [412]

Inspired by The Secret, I decided that everything that I wasn’t happy with in my life was going to be replaced with a new beginning. I was tired of a dead marriage and relationships that kept me small and zapped my energy, basically a life that wasn’t fulfilling. I came across The Secret and watched the video and my inner me started to shift. I felt a fire starting to burn, a push forward, ideas sprouted, I became more creative and I started to take action and everything started to make sense, everything was on purpose, nothing was forced or a struggle. I would make a decision, write it down, visualize it and it appeared, just like that. My first reaction was to really start believing it was me doing it, so now I wanted everything to change. I had the opportunity when my daughter had to choose a University to study English Philology in. She chose Malaga, a town we knew from summer holiday visits. It was a place near the sea, that I had always dreamed about,  a tourist area where English classes were in demand. I literally got out my pen and paper and wrote down: I will find a nice apartment to live in. A good school for my younger son to study in and find work for my middle teenage daughter. Plenty of work from private English classes will appear, I will earn money to provide for all costs and to be able to save. It will come easily and effortlessly. So the challenge was on! I packed everything and a week before took a trip down to Malaga to set everything up. I had a week before school started so it was “yes or yes” to happen. Arriving there, I felt excited and trusted my morning and evening goals and visualization exercises and took action. First I made publicity and handed out my cards and posted them in the library, shops, all the local places and spread the word about my English classes. I found a sign on a board for an apartment to rent for less than the money I had budgeted for. I phoned the number, saw the flat and accepted, it was mine! Then through word of mouth, I found a lovely school for my son nearby and registered him. Although I had not been to the town hall to register yet, they let me. Education first, the head mistress said, you can go to the town hall after. This all happened in three days, I just stuck to my clear goals and took action upon an undeniable faith! The main feeling I had was that it was on purpose, I was attracting and it felt wonderful! We are happy!

*picture attached* it’s pretty easy, but usually bad at this. BEST and WORST answer. Please help.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

I think the best response would be to consult with your supervisor to avoid being in a heated conversation with the customer. The worst response would probably be to ask what prices she had in mind. No one wants to say what prices they had in mind because its embarrassing.
