Read the excerpt from Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. “Tenente,” Passini said. “We understand you let us talk. Listen. There is

nothing as bad as war. We in the auto-ambulance cannot even realize at all how bad it is. When people realize how bad it is they cannot do anything to stop it because they go crazy. There are some people who never realize. There are people who are afraid of their officers. It is with them the war is made.” In typical Hemingway style, the excerpt
contains a number of abstract nouns and many adjectives.
contains a large amount of punctuation and few adjectives and adverbs.
contains many strong nouns and adjectives but few verbs and adverbs.
contains few adjectives and adverbs but many strong verbs and concrete nouns.

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the D) It contains few adjectives and adverbs but many strong verbs and concrete nouns.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that there are no abstract nouns, a large amount of punctuation, or a lack of verbs in this excerpt, so options A, B, and C can be discarded. The passage features just a few adjectives and adverbs—bad, crazy, afraid—but a significant amount of strong verbs (understand, talk, listen, realize, stop, make) and concrete nouns (people, we, war, auto-ambulance, officers), which help create more concise and precise sentences.

lorasvet [3.4K]
This would be called infraspecific competition, or a food web.

This phenomenon is also called Rainforest competition, and it exists on every level, from the big cats (tigers, jaguars and leopards) and anacondas that usually hunt small mammals to the birds and amphibians that go after the same fruit, nuts and insects.

Of mice and men: what does Crook say to lennie to get him upset?
pentagon [3]
Crooks teases Lennie about his lack of self-reliance; he tauntingly asks Lennie what he would do if George were injured. Unable to think hypothetically, Lennie thinks that George is actually under threat. With some difficulty, Crooks calms Lennie down and takes on a kindlier demeanor. His sour attitude remains, however, as he tells Lennie that his dreams of owning a farm with rabbits is unlikely to amount to anything tangible.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

spent with her, I try to think with less bitterness of this act of injustice. She possessed but few slaves; and at her death those were all distributed among her relatives. Five of them were my grandmother's children, and had shared the same milk that nourished her mother's children. Notwithstanding my grandmother's long and faithful service to her owners, not one of her children escaped the auction block.
