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.

Which quotation from "The Black Cat" best supports the idea that the narrator is tormented by the cat?
BARSIC [14]
<span>Option D is the correct choice. It indicates, better than the other options, how the narrator is unable to enjoy a simple nights rest. The usage of "alas" shows that this was the final straw in the torment, not being able to sleep anymore. Compared to option A where the narrator is still able to state clearly that they are not mad. Option B only shows a dislike which doesn't stress the torment requirement from the question. Option C does show torment but it more so indicates the early stages of this happening.</span>
