Did you finish writing yet? is this a participle or a gerund? pls help
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Present participle phrases and gerund phrases are easy to confuse because they both begin with an ing word. The difference is the function that they provide in a sentence. A present participle phrase will always act as an adjective while a gerund phrase will always behave as a noun.

It is more suitable to use the gerund form of the verb following the main verb, if the main verb is in the past tense (here, "finish")

At the end of the passage, what causes conflict between the aunt and the bachelor on the train? the story is called the storytel
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

A. The aunt thinks that the content of the story was too graphic for the children,  but the bachelor disagrees.

Explanation:

The short story "The Storyteller" by Saki tells the story of a train journey where three small children along with their aunt were on a train to Templecombe. Beside them in the same compartment was a young bachelor who seemed less than impressed to be in the same compartment with the group.

In an attempt to distract and quieten the children, the bachelor ended up telling a story of a<em> "very good girl"</em> who was devoured by a wolf. Though the children were able to be good and <em>"quiet for ten minutes"</em>, a feat which the bachelor insist the aunt wasn't able to do, the aunt exclaimed that it was too graphic for them to be told that story. the gory details, the ending which resulted in the good girl dead, and the medals for being good leading to her death all were the many topics that the aunt had most presumably tried hard to swerve the children away from learning. In her opinion, she wanted to teach them only good things and not something as graphic as the young man had just done. This causes conflict between the two adults.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

As they were preparing to leave, Prince told William, "I have no freedom to fight for, sir."
Mademuasel [1]

The reason why Prince said he had no freedom to fight for is the fact that he was a slave, as stated in option 1 and further explained below.

<h3>Why can't Prince fight?</h3>

According to the passage we are analyzing here, Prince was a slave who belonged to William. His owner expect Prince to join him in battle, that is, to fight alongside him. However, Prince explains that he cannot do so.

The reason why Prince has "no freedom to fight for" is the fact that he was a slave. Prince could very well join William in battle, but what for? Why should he fight for freedom when he is denied it? How can a slave be asked to die for the freedom of white people when his own people are treated as possessions?

By saying so, Prince got William to free him. Apparently, that sentence was an eye-opener to his master, who only now realized the incoherence there is in asking a slave to fight for freedom.

With the information above in mind, we can select option 1 as the correct answer.

This is part of the missing passage which we need to answer this question:

"At the time he began his military service, William owned a slave like most of his peers. The slave, named Prince, would have been expected to join William and serve with him in battle. As they were preparing to leave, Prince told William, "I have no freedom to fight for, sir." Seeing the truth in this, William is reported to have freed Prince immediately. Today, we look back on history through a great fog of time, and with lenses clouded by our own modern values. Our Founding Fathers displayed admirable courage in crafting and signing such a brilliant claim to human liberty."

These are the missing answer choices:

  • He was a slave.
  • He was not a soldier.
  • He did not believe in fighting.
  • He was a British citizen.
