Answer: From the outset we know that this is a child speaking to the father about the smell of alcohol (whiskey, your breath). If life is a dance then this child is having a tough time because the dance was not easy - note the lack of a contraction which makes the line more formal.

Romped implies a sense of fun but lacking control because things fall from the shelf as a result of the dance and mother isn't well pleased. The use of the word countenance and unfrown is unusual. The former refers to the mother's facial expression, the latter isn't a proper word.

The words battered and scraped, beat and hard suggest the father's rough handling of the boy but these are neutralised almost by the use of waltzed, which implies some sort of carefree innocence.

Don't know if this helps, but hopefully you gained something from this!

What is a basic word part that comes from another language?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: Root

Explanation:

Affix, is produced when a grammatical element is being joined with a word, or phrase in order for an infected form of the word to be produced. Affix are typically of three firms which are the prefixes, the innfixes, and the suffixes.

Word roots are simply the words that are taken from other languages and it should be noted that these are where majority of English words come from. Some English words have either Greek or Latin origins. Roots are basic word part that comes from another language.

A prefix is a group of letters that are typically placed before a word's root. e.g "un" which means not can be seen in words like unhappy which simply means not happy.

Unlike prefixes, the suffixes are not added at the start but rather at the end of that word e.g ment, ness etc.

Therefore, based on the explanation, the answer is root.
