A. Christa chose to write a literary critique of the novel Oliver Twist.

An infinitive phrase will include the word “to” in addition to a verb. For instance, “to run,” “to sleep,” and “to laugh” are all infinitives. If the word “to” is followed by a noun, “to” would be a preposition. And, an object is the recipient of the action/verb. With that in mind, in Option A we can see that “to write” is receiving the action “chose,” which makes “to write” a direct object.

The only sentence here with an infinitive phrase is the first one, and the infinitive phrase there is 'to write'. You ask the question - What did Christa choose? in order to find the object of that sentence, and the answer is 'to write'.

How is Cassius a better friend to Brutus than Brutus is to Cassius?

Ugo [173]

Cassius and Brutus have a changing relationship throughout the play. They are completely different in character. Brutus is honest . Cassius is deceiving and selfish. They also think different about the destiny of Rome.

Initially, it is Cassius who definitely seems in control and able to manipulate Brutus, exploiting his fears of the potential dangers of Caesar's increasing power for his own purposes. Cassius wants Brutus on the side of the conspirators, as he is a respected and well-renowned person.

Brutus misjudges Cassius, and later he spoils the whole conspiracy by trusting Marc Antony. Although Brutus decides to assasinate Caesar rather tan being a true friend to him and speak about the matter, Cassius is a better friend and decides to use Brutus as a sparehead of his plan to kill Caesar. Since Brutus is well-respected, Cassius's conspiracy gains respect as well. Brutus sees Cassius as a true friend and joins the plot.

What information does the author provide about the narrator in this excerpt?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

C. The narrator sees a reflection of herself in the woman from the wallpaper and empathizes with her.

Explanation:

The passage you were given is the following excerpt from Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper":

It is the same woman, I know, for she is always creeping, and most women do not creep by daylight.

I see her in that long shaded lane, creeping up and down. I see her in those dark grape arbors, creeping all around the garden.

I see her on that long road under the trees, creeping along, and when a carriage comes she hides under the blackberry vines.

I don't blame her a bit. It must be very humiliating to be caught creeping by daylight!

I always lock the door when I creep by daylight. I can't do it at night, for I know John would suspect something at once.

The correct answer is C. We can see that based on the last paragraph. At first, the narrator describes the woman from the wallpaper, who, according to her, creeps by daylight. In the end. she says: I always lock the door when I creep by daylight. This indicates that, in fact, she was talking about herself all this time as she saw a reflection of herself in the woman from the wallpaper and empathized with her.

Statement D is incorrect, as the narrator says: I don't blame her a bit, and then reveals that she herself creeps by daylight, although many women don't.

There is no information in the excerpt indicating that statements A and B could be correct.
