English

Answer:

Knowing Greek mythology helps us expand our vocabulary because:

A. Some words that we use today were used by characters in Greek myths.

Explanation:

There are words and expressions commonly seen and used in today's English that actually come from Greek myths and epic poems. Therefore, knowing about Greek mythology can help us understand the origin and meaning of those words. For instance, if you know about the hero Achilles, you will easily understand the expression "Achilles heel". If you have an Achilles heel, that means you have a weakness. That expression comes from the myth, where the hero Achilles, who was indestructible, had only one weakness - his heel. Only by being hit by an arrow in his heel is Achilles defeated.

Answer:

The play tells the reader that Anne is very intrested in everything and was upstairs when Mr. Frank came in with the others.

How do I know:

  • I know this because in the play it says <u>Anne comes running up the stairs. She is thirteen,  quick in her movements, interested in everything, mercurial in her emotions. She wears a cape, long wool socks and carries a schoolbag</u>

  • From reading the play, I can infer that Anne has been taught good manners. From reading the play, I can infer that Anne has a mystery she really wants to solve up in the attic.

How do I know:

I know this because in the play it says Anne gives a polite little curtsy as she shakes Mr. Van  Daan’s hand. Then she immediately starts off on a 180 tour of investigation of her new home, going upstairs.

Whew!! Hope this helps!

Decreases in membership at the club are affecting the ability of the club to maintain its staff.
yarga [219]
I believe the right correction for the sentence would be "The decrease in members from the clubs are affecting". The first option wouldn't be correct because the word "decreasing" doesn't fit right grammar wise in the sentence. Option two wouldn't make any sense put together with the sentence, it would just sound completely out of place. Option three has the word "were" as in it was affecting the club, not presently affecting the club. And obviously, this sentence needs improvement so option five is out of the question.
