Answer:
C.Oliver's students had not had easy lives.
Explanation:
1 is the answer. "Blessings" is an ironic, unexpectedly positive
judgment of a universally bad situation (a world war). The sarcasm lies
in the suggestion that a disastrous, deadly event could be fortunate and
a reason to be thankful.
The other answers state facts or describe a situation without judging or expressing emotion.
Answer:
Jackson ate lunch early. Simple Past
Jackson has eaten lunch. Present Perfect
Explanation:
Jackson ate lunch early. (Simple Past: Eating lunch has started and ended in the past. Someone might say this when the time for eating lunch has also ended. Lunch happened early, and it is over now.)
Jackson has eaten lunch. (Present Perfect: Jackson started and finished eating lunch in the past, but lunch time is still going on. Someone might say this when others are preparing to eat lunch, and they want to know whether Jackson will join them.) while To form the past perfect tense you use the past tense of the verb "to have," which is had, and add it to the past participle of the main verb. For example: subject + had + past participle = past perfect tense.
Some examples of the past perfect tense can be seen in the following sentences:
Had met: She had met him before the party.
Answer:
Stopped or parked the boat
Explanation:
In the text presented in the question above, we can see that the narrator and his companions decided to stop the boat they used to navigate to explore the region out of the water. To stop the boat and gain access to dry land, they would need to park that boat, so it would be safe to get off the boat and walk around the area knowing and exploring it.
In this case, through the context of the text, when the narrator states that they had beached the boat, he is referring to the acts of stopping and parking the boat.
