B for the first question and C for the second
A foil in literature describes a character who contrasts with another character in order to make comparisons and highlight certain traits between these two persons.
Both Melantho and Eurycleia are servants of Odysseus. While Melantho is unloyal, (sleeping with the suitors while Odysseus is away) and treating him rudely when he returns disguised as a beggar, Eurycleia remains devoted and kind. Melantho is used as a foil for Eurycleia to showcase her good traits.
Answer:
D
. She wants to move home, but also wants to consider her family’s feelings.
Explanation:
Heidi Stemple's "Moving Home" reflects on her decision to move her family, totally uprooting them to another part of the country. But despite it all, she recalls how things all worked out in the end.
In the short passage, Stemple revealed how her father's cancer diagnosis led her to move her family to her parents' side. And despite the initial debate of weighing the pros and cons of the move, the end result was more favorable for everyone. But what was the most important factor was that all members of the family had their say, thus allowing them to put their thoughts considered.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Here we can observe that the verb used doesn't reflect the correct tense to express when this action took/is taking/will take place. There are many tenses where you could choose from, depending of the time of action:
Tenses: Simple, Progressive, Perfect, Perfect progressive
Times: Past, Present, and Future
Imagine all the combinations!
The simplest example we could make is if this action is a routine that happens continuously, the action verb (invite) is changed to simple present for the third person of singular (invites):
<span>Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, invites dancers to weekly performance battles.</span>
