Answer:

Middle English

Explanation:

The word "javelin" comes from Middle English and refers to a type of spear that could reach long distances and therefore represented a great type of weapon, however, it is currently used as a sporting object. This spear was widely used in the Middle Ages, but it was not thrown by hand as it was very heavy, which compromised the launch.

Read the excerpt from 1984 by George Orwell. Which sentence contains an example of a narrative hook?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

1.it was a bright sunny day in April,and the clocks were striking thirteen

This is the narrative hook. A narrative hook occurs at the beginning of a passage to get the reader interested in the rest of the story. In this hook, the speaker begins talking about what seems to be a wonderful great day. Then the reader is hit with the fact that the clocks are striking thirteen. This makes it very different than what the reader is used to. While many people use a 24 hour clock instead of a 12 hour clock, it is usually only in digital form. Therefore, the word striking is not used. Striking is used for a digital clock because the hands move and are said to strike numbers. It is rare to find a 24 hour analog clock in our setting.
