Answer:Unlike the personal pronouns, the indefinite pronouns form their possessives by adding “apostrophe ‑s.” Only one has a plural form (others). In formal settings, all indefinite pronouns ending in ‑one or ‑body are singular. You should therefore use singular verbs.
Explanation:
A gerund phrase includes the gerund and its modifiers, so "Camping near a lake" would be the gerund phrase. Its noun use is as a complement to the subject, which is the "popular pastime for retirees".
<em>"The Death of Ivan Ilyich"</em> is a short novel written by León Tolstoy and published in 1886.
The correct order of events in Ivan Ilyich's life as depicted in chapter 5-8 is the following:
- Ivan Ilyich tries to read a Zola novel while convincing himself that he is healing, but his pain returns worse than ever.
- Ivan Ilyich visits a specialist who tells him that his vermiform appendix is the problem.
- Ivan Ilyich tries to use the logic of Caius the mortal to try to make sense of dying but fails.
- Ivan Ilyich tries to distract himself from his death by resuming his professional duties as a judge but fails.
- Ivan Ilyich watches his family leave to go to the theater and finally gains some peace.
The graveyard scene is a turning point for Hamlet - his thoughts and opinions on death become more solidified and he soon decides what he is going to do about his revenge and life in general.
During the graveyard scene, we see Hamlet holding Yorick's skull, who used to be his court jester. Hamlet is contemplating life and death, thinking about how it is odd that he used to know this skull while it still belonged to a living man, and that now he is gone, turned to dust.
He is also thinking about many famous people, such as Alexander the Great and Caesar, realizing that no matter how famous and accomplished you are, you are still inevitably going to die and turn to dust, as his friend, Yorick did. He used to be very torn about whether he should commit suicide or kill his uncle, and this is the very moment where he makes his decision after realizing that life is futile.
