Answer:

1. Because he receives newspapers from the widow who rented the basement to him. So he can save the money he receives and can be distracted by reading.

2. Because he wants to assume the personality of the teacher and becomes more and more curious about him.

3. The chef has established a regular routine, where he writes letters pretending to be the teacher, asking friends and students for help in money.

Explanation:

This question is about "The briefcase" by Rebecca makkai and shows how people in desperate situations can perform very incorrect acts that can even be harmful to themselves and others.

In this story the chef needs to leave the environment in which he lives, he needs to change who he is and assume another personality. As a result, he steals the briefcase of a teacher who was killed on the street by soldiers. He travels with that suitcase and pretends to be the teacher, assuming his life and personality, in addition to sending letters to the teacher's friends asking them to help him with money, which is what they do.

Discuss the author's use of phrases and clauses. Begin by identifying the prepositional phrases and any noun, adjective, and adv
zimovet [89]

Hello. You did not enter the necessary text to answer this question, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I can help by conceptualizing the elements you need to find in the text. That way I advise you to find your answer.

A prepositional phrase is a word set that has a preposition in evidence. These sentences are part of a sentence and have no meaning on their own, needing a complement to make sense. Prepositional phrases usually have a structure formed with preposition + object + adjectives or articles. An example of a prepositional phrase would be "She ran the marathon with pride on Saturday"

Nouns are words that give name to any possible being, object, feeling, or possible situation. This will be the easiest element to identify in your text. Ex: House, horse, joy, asphalt, table, dogs, etc.

Adjective is a word that gives characteristics to nouns, that is, that word expresses the characteristics of a certain thing. Ex: Intelligent, clear, thin, noisy, wet, melancholy.

Adverbial clauses are phrases that are inserted in a main sentence, acting as an adverbial adjunct to that phrase, that is, these clauses work as an adverb and therefore, modifying a verb. Ex: She past the test, because she study a lot.
