Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
from Flesh & Blood So Cheap by Albert Marrin
1. Summarize Review the text to find details about the different floors of the building. What is important to understand about these locations?
Answer:
It is important to understand that the infrastructure of the floors was precarious and insecure, which limited the time needed for workers to escape the fire. Because of this infrastructure, workers had a few minutes to escape, which made the situation much more dangerous.
Explanation:
In "Flesh & Blood So Cheap" we are introduced to the Triangle Waist Company which was located on the top floors of a building. On these floors there were about 40 men and women who worked on the site along with numerous machines and packaging and products that were kept in stock, like any company.
It was on these floors that the fire started putting the lives of workers who were supposed to be off the floors in minutes. This is because the building had a precarious infrastructure, which did not provide any type of security in cases of fire.
If the italicized sentence is <em>how eager she was to do her best, </em>then the answer would be an adverb clause.
Because the whole clause acts as an adverb.
I believe the correct answers are:
- an Indo-European language of Germanic origin: this is definitely true as old English (as well as modern English) belongs to the Germanic group of languages, along with Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic), German, Yiddish, etc. And all of them are Indo-European languages
- depended on inflections to indicate gender: this statement is also true. Old English, also known as Anglo-Saxon English, used different suffixes to denote the gender of a noun. So if a noun was female, it would have a different suffix from that of male/neuter gender. This has mostly disappeared from modern English.
- depended on inflections to indicate grammatical form: this statement is also true. Old English used different suffixes to denote the form of a word, such as the tense, or possessive form, etc. This is something that modern English has kept as well, and you can see it in -ed suffix for past tense, or 's used for possessive form.
These three options are definitely correct, whereas 'similar to modern English' is definitely incorrect because they almost look nothing alike. I'm not sure about the mixture of many languages though - it had many dialects, but ultimately it was one Germanic/Viking language, so I don't think other languages influenced it a lot at the time - that came later with Middle English.
Answer:
The real answer is B. Don't listen to the last one.
