What kind of spelling error do you see in the following passage?

English

marin [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The spelling error happens with the word "accept". The word should be spelled "except". The error is caused by the similar pronunciation of the two words.

Explanation:

It is not uncommon for certain words to be confused with another because of the way they sound. That is what happens with "accept" and "except". However, mistaking one for the other can lead to an error, since they convey very different meanings.<u> "Accept" is a verb that means to receive, to welcome. On the other hand, "except" can function as a preposition or a conjunction, and it means "excluding" or "leaving out".</u> Take a look at the examples below:

- I accept your apologies.

- I will visit everyone except cousin Marjorie.

<u>Now, in the question, the sentence's context asks for the use of "except" instead of "accept". The speaker means that everyone but him (excluding him) made two-dimensional works.</u> The sentence should be:

- Everyone, that is, except for me.

In which set of lines in this excerpt from T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" does the speaker compare himself t
Serga [27]

Answer:

"And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,

When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,

Then how should I begin

To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?"

Explanation:

Oh, this poem is so good..

I've selected the portion in the poem when the narrator uses metaphor to compare himself to an insect. In this part, he asks what will happen when he is "pinned and wriggling," like a butterfly or beetle that's pinned to a bug collection. Eliot uses this so artfully, my nerd hackles are raised. He's asking -- when I am helpless, uncomfortable, and all my deepest self is exposed -- how shall I explain myself, and who shall I be then?

From the story
valkas [14]

Answer:

A. The author emphasizes that the painter lady is from out of town and acts differently than people in the community

Explanation:

Outsider can be defined as a person who doesn't belong to a certain community, group or profession.

In this story "The War Of The Wall" by Toni Cade Bambara we are introduced to a painter lady who has come from out of town to paint a neighborhood wall. She is faced with hostility from neighborhood children who have deep emotions and menories connecting them ti that wall and don't wanna see a stranger messing with it.

This, from the very beginning of the story establishes lady as an outsider.

Later on, this is emphasized with her rejection of offered food and strict choice of food she orders for dinner (probably due to her religion).

This, together with her being a stranger, labels her as an outsider in children's eyes and is responsible for their rude manners towards her.
