Based on this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," what is the contextual meaning of the phrase "take up"? "Ah,

yes," the major said. "Why, then, do you not take up the use of grammar?" So we took up the use of grammar, and soon Italian was such a difficult language that I was afraid to talk to him until I had the grammar straight in my mind.

Answer:

The contextual meaning of the phrase "take up" in the story will mean the actual practice and use of grammar in speaking Italian.

Explanation:

To take up something basically means to try to practice, put into practice and use or do it in action anything, the thing being taken up. It is a phrasal verb that implies the start and use of anything.

<em>For example, to take up tennis means to practice and start playing tennis.</em>

Likewise, when the major said "to take up the use of grammar", he means that he should actually put into practice and start using and learning grammar.

  • It is an argument that shows that the argument presented above is incorrect.
  • It is an argument that presents a thought contrary to what is being defended.

A counterargument is made to debate, question, and show errors in another argument. For this, the counter-argument needs to present evidence, data, and concrete information about what you are questioning.

10 HELP PLEASE!! I'LL GIVE BRAINLIST!!!
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

      Volunteering is great and is really good for giving back to world. I have volunteered at a nursing home because of  my parents. I was so nervous, like what would people say to me or what would i even do. I was just as clueless as the people i was going to help. I never looked at volunteering being a fun thing until i went. You see, i met this old man he was pretty funny well, at least he thought he was. He loved to play cards and crack jokes on the old ladies he so called didn't like but, lemme me tell you a secret, he did.

       I ended up meeting this nice old women who was diagnosed with cancer . They nurses told me so i tried to be nicer than usual. She was really great at sewing and was always smiling at that grumpy old man which is name is Jerry and her name is Marie. I told Jerry he had a secret admirer and so did marie. Sadly, A few days later when i went back to the nursing home she had passed away. The nurses gave me the note she left for me and Jerry i went outside where i knew he would be. Me and him read the letter and cried. Big guy cried more than me lol. But if i learned one thing about volunteering is that it can be great for learning new things and great for new old pals.

THE END!
