Answer:

1. speeches made by characters in a story = dialogue

Dialogue refers to a speech in which at least two people are talking. In literature, there are different types of speeches: we have monologues (when only one person is talking and others are listening), soliloquys (when one person is alone and speaking), dialogues (when at least two people are speaking to each other), etc.

2. present-day = contemporary

The word contemporary comes from Latin, where con- means together, and tempus means time. So literally, this word means 'together with time,' which can be roughly translated as now, in the present, at the moment, at the moment of speaking.

3. struggle within one person's mind = internal conflict

There are many types of conflict, which refers to some kind of struggle. You can have a conflict within yourself (internal conflict), a conflict with another person (man vs. man), a conflict with a lot of people (man vs. society), or generally with life (man vs. nature).

4. talkative = garrulous

Like many words in English, the word garrulous also comes from Latin. It is derived from Latin verb garrire, which means to chatter, to prattle (which means to talk excessively). So the adjective garrulous in contemporary English refers to someone who is talking a lot about something trivial.

5. all-seeing, all-knowing = omniscient

Like many words mentioned above, the word omniscient also comes from Latin. It is derived from Latin pronoun omnis (meaning everything), and verb scire (meaning to know). So when translated literally, omniscient means to know everything.

6. submissive = obsequious

The word obsequious also comes from Latin; it is derived from the verb obsequi, which means to follow, to comply with. When added the English suffix for adjectives -ous, the word obsequious represents a servile person, someone who is practically grovelling before someone more powerful.

7. a single happening in a story = incident

Incident, also known as event, is a happening within a story. It can refer to something rather small and unimportant, or something crucial that can change the course of the story. When referred to several incidents/events together, we are talking about plot of a story.

8. savage = barbarian

9. necklace = riviere

Although the word riviere literally means river in French, it is used in English to refer to a type of a necklace. It is a specific kind of a necklace - usually made of diamonds or other gemstones of same kind and size, connected in order to create a beautiful decoration.

10. weird = eerie

The word eerie comes from Old Germanic languages, and refers to something strange, weird, but also a bit frightening. Today, it is usually used to refer to mysterious and creepy locations (usually in horror and suspense stories, such as in those written by Poe).

Online learning has it's advantages but it also has it's disadvantages.

Advantages of online learning are one, students feel more comfortable and are more likely to learn in environments they're familiar with, two, students who have social anxieties and problems communicating with other students don't have to go through that hardship anymore, and three, assignments are easier to do and not lose track of.

Disadvantages of online learning are one, students with low attention spans are less likely to learn anything because although they sit infront of screens all day, their attention is else where, two, some students may have family or parental problems that are going on at home and the unaware teacher might be calling home and making matters worse over incomplete assignments, and lastly, students are less likely to participate because they don't know how to communicate with the teacher and to other students so they might sit behind their screens for hours not knowing what to do.

I don't know how many words this is but it better be over 120 LOL

Schach [20]

Because genetics is now progressing so rapidly.

The subordinate clause starts with a subordinating conjunction and contains the entire dependent clause. Because is a subordinate conjunction and makes the clause dependent because you need to know what's next. Hopefully answer choice D has all the right pieces. The main clause is "it is revolutionizing medical research". This clause is a complete idea by itself and is not a subordinate clause.

Alex777 [14]

Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about "Secrets in the Stones." You also forgot to show the answer options, the options are:

It suggests that we can never know the purpose of Stonehenge.

It shows that archaeologists are not able to explain the past.

It explains why people are losing interest in the site.

It begins the discussion of different ideas about Stonehenge.

Answer:

It begins the discussion of different ideas about Stonehenge.

Explanation:

The sentence "even though some questions about the site's purpose have been answered, many remain" gives space for a discussion on theories about Stonehenge to be opened, since it is not possible to determine, in fact, the reason why it was created . Thus, we can understand that the author includes this sentence in the article to serve as a hook for the next section of the article, which talks about possible theories about Stonehenge.
