Answer: A) mock the facts-only method of teaching.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Hard Times" by Charles Dickens we can see Mr. Gradgrind given numerous facts about horses, the number and type of teeth, the type of food that they eat, how to determine their age by marks in their mouth, and other various facts. Charles Dickens purpose in this passage is to mock the facts-only method of teaching, because after Mr. Gradgrind says all those facts, it is not yet clear what is a horse.

The answer is "<span>mock the facts-only method of teaching". Mr. Gradgrind gives only facts and does not show the student what horses are like. I hope this helps!</span>

Opened sentences with discourse markers?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Discourse markers are words or phrases like anyway, right, okay, as I say, to begin with. We use them to connect, organise and manage what we say or write or to express attitude:

[friends are talking]

A:

So, I’ve decided I’m going to go to the bank and ask for a car loan.

B:

That sounds like a good idea.

C:

Well, you need a car.

B:

Right.

A:

Anyway, I was wondering if either of you would teach me how to drive.

The discourse markers in this extract have a number of uses:so marks the beginning of a new part of the conversation.

well marks a change in the focus (from getting a car loan to needing a car).

right marks a response (B is agreeing with C).

anyway marks a shift in topic (from buying a new car to having driving lessons).

We use different discourse markers in speaking and writing. In speaking, the following discourse markers are very common:

anyway

like

right

you know

fine

now

so

I mean

good

oh

well

as I say

great

okay

mind you

for a start

In writing, the following discourse markers are common:

firstly

in addition

moreover

on the other hand

secondly

in conclusion

on the one hand

to begin with

thirdly

in sum

Discourse markers do not always have meanings that you will find in your dictionary. However, they do have certain functions, and some discourse markers, such as well, can have a number of functions.

Which of the following sentences contains an infinitive?
GaryK [48]

The correct answer is: C) Heather wants to go to the store with us.


An infinitive is a verbal that can work as 3 different things: as a noun, as an adjective, or as an adverb. It is produced when using "to" + the verb, but this verb can't end in -ed, -ing or similar.


In this case, "to go" is the infinitive.
