Answer:
B) Laughing uproariously, the little girls ran away from the group of boys they'd just attacked with water balloons.
Explanation:
Participle phrases work as adjectives: they start with -<em>ing </em>if it is a present participle, and they begin with a past participle form if it refers to the past. In this case, the participle phrase is<em> laughing uproariously</em>, which provides characterization to the sentence.
The tone of The Great Gatsby veers between scornful and sympathetic, with caustic scorn gradually giving way to melancholic sympathy toward the end
Answer:
A. "horror bristling round the head”
Explanation:
The given question refers to the poem <em>A Child's Nightmare </em>written by Robert Graves.
The poem begins with some kind of nightmarish creature scaring the narrator when he was a child in his nursery, and then that same creature leaping on him <em>again from the clank of a night train.</em> This is in fact a night train that transported soldiers during the war. From this moment the war imagery begins. Lines <em>when I'm shot through heart and head</em> and <em>nor the stretcher-bearer's cry </em>are from this part of the poem, as well. The only line that is not an example of war imagery as it is from the first part of the poem is line A: <em>horror bristling round the head.</em>
