4 0

Answer:

A and c

Explanation:

Macbeth's degradation obeys two important factors. Ambition being the most significant of the tragic hero's flaws forces him to do what is needed to do to fulfill the fate that the three witches have indicated. The thirst for power makes him lead a life of corruption. However, in the course of the play we are also able to see a hesitant honorable man who doubts whether killing Duncan. This internal conflict is mitigated by the encouragement of his no less ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth. But for her intervention, Macbeth might not have been able to take action.

Chief Joseph's Surrender Speech, October 5, 1877

by Chief Joseph

Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed; looking glass is dead, Ta Hool Hool Shute is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe i shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! i am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.

What is the speaker's overall point in this passage? (5 points)

a. he is surrendering because the winter's cold has killed many of his people.

b. he is surrendering because so many of his tribe's elders have passed away.

c. he is surrendering because his people's lives are more important than their freedom.

Answer:

I believe the speaker's overall point in this passage is:

c. he is surrendering because his people's lives are more important than their freedom.

Explanation:

It is true that the cold has killed many of Chief Joseph's children. It is also true that many of the elders have died. But the reason why Chief Joseph wants to stop fighting is because he feels it is more important to find and care for his people. They need his help to stay alive, to have food and warmth. The battle has in a way lost its importance. They are battling to protect the people, but it is not working, since they are dying anyway. That's why he will surrender and go looking for them. In Chief Joseph's own words:

I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe i shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! i am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.

Identify the non-finite verb forms in this sentence: 1. She was looking for her sister.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Looking (#1)

Explanation:

Non-finite Verb

Non-finite verbs function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs or combine with a finite verb for verb tense.
Non-finite verbs Include participles, Infinitives, gerunds, other verbs that don't change form when the subject changes.

Participle

A verbal that is used as an adjective, describes a noun or pronoun, present participles always end in -ing, past participles usually end in -ed.

Gerund

verb form acting as a noun - always ends in -ing.

Infinitive

a verb form that is used as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb and is typically preceded by the word to.

Continuation:

Word: She (Pronoun)

She is a pronoun. It's a noun that refers to another noun or noun phrase anaphorically, although it can't be preceded by a determiner and seldom accepts an attributive adjective. In English, examples are I, you, he, who, me, mine, and so on. It can also be used as a subjective or nominative pronoun. It is most commonly used to begin a statement. It is, however, rarely used as a noun.

Word: Was (Linking Verb)

The word "was" is a verb, more precisely a linking verb, since it connects the subject to the section of the sentence that offers further information about the topic. Furthermore, this form of the verb "to be" represents a state of being.

Word: Looking (Present Participle)

Looking is the present participle of look. A participle is a verb that ends in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) and serves as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase is made up of a participle and one or more modifiers, objects, and/or complements (s).

Word: For (Preposition)

When used to signify the usage of something, the place where an object or person is going, or the period of time, the word "for" is defined as a preposition.

Word: Her (Pronoun)

Her is a pronoun in the third person singular. Her is the subject or object of a verb or a preposition. Her is a possessive determiner as well. You refer to a lady, a girl, or a feminine animal with her.

Word: Sister (Noun)

This word is referring to someone's/something's female sibling. This word is a noun because a word that is a person, place, or thing is classified as this part of speech. The noun sister can be used as either a proper or common noun.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After looking through this sentence, we can come to one conclusion. Since looking ends in -ing, it is classified as a gerund. Therefore, the word looking is a non-finite verb.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the other words in the sentence are not considered or classified as non-finite verb as their word classifications do not match those of the description/definition given of what a non-finite verb is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

She was looking for her sister.

NOTE: Verbs with tense are finite, and verbs without tense are nonfinite.
