A loaded word is a word that not only informs but also caries some emotion with it, such as condemning, exciting, praising.
In the statement above the loaded word is "crushing" - it makes a qualitative statement about the defeat: it was a very definite defeat.

Read the excerpt below from A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf and answer the question that follows.
lidiya [134]

This is the correct statement:

Women who read and wrote too often were cast out of the home.

Explanation:

A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf is one of the markedly feminist tracts of all time and it asserts an important point through the existence of this fictional sister of Shakespeare by asserting a fact.

It is that the women were simply not allowed to read and write in his time and no matter how hard she would have tried she would not have amounted to much in her life.

The system was against her education and her pursuit of a career thus.

What is the difference between present perfect tense and past simple tense ?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Present perfect tense is related to the present in some way, while past simple tense happened at a specific time in the past and is a finished action.

Explanation:

Present perfect tense describes something that happened in the past, but that is related to something in the present (example: I have read 5 books by Ernest Hemingway).

Past simple tense is used for things that happened at a definite time in the past (example: I met my friend when I was seventeen).
