Answer:

To hinder, impede or frustrate someone from achieving a set goal.

Explanation:

Thwart could either be a noun or a verb, the context determines its part of speech when used in a sentence. As a verb, it depicts that a desire could not be realized because it was frustrated by someone or something.

For example:

i. She did all she could to thwart his plans.

This simply means that she after all successfully impeded him from accomplishing his plans.

ii. Paul's aim to achieve a B in his English test was thwarted by his friend.

This makes us to understand that Paul's friend affected his plans to make a B grade in the test.

Phrase is "out of water." Is this a noun phrase, verb phrase, prepositional phrase, or a participial phrase?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Based merely on "out of water," this is a prepositional phrase.

In beowulf why is it that grendel did not dare to touch the kings throne
stellarik [79]
In the binary (good vs. evil) epic world of Beowulf, the king is a defender of law and order, and Grendel is the villain who challenges these principles. But neither the king nor Grendel act on their own. The king is God's representative on Earth and a protector of all his subjects. On the other hand, Grendel is not an ordinary villain or a monster. He is the descendant of Cain, Biblical figure who killed his own brother. As a creature of hell, he mustn't touch the king's throne, which is God's endowment. In other words, the one who symbolizes the Devil must stay away from God's symbols.

Select the sentence that corrects the error in the following. Even though I had no previous experience, I enjoyed painting the l
Korolek [52]

The answer is: There is no error.

Complex sentences consist of a subordinate or dependent clause, which is introduced by a subordinating conjunction like <em>even though</em>, and an independent clause, which can stand on its own. They can be separated by a comma.

In the example sentence, the subordinate clause is:

Even though I had no previous experience,

Finally, the independent clause is:

I enjoyed painting the living room with my friends.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because the clauses are separated or do not express the same meaning as the original sentence.
