The expression "sil of shade" is an allegory that represents the end of life, that is, death. This shows that the poem brings a reflection on the moment when life is finished, how this end is inevitable and it is not possible to escape it. This reflection is passed on to the reader through the words of the speaker of the poem, who is also reflecting, which shows that he is a reflective thinker.

Answer:

3. Kate said that people sometimes sold drugs outside her school.

4. The police officer said they were going to study the CCTV footage that day.

5. Fred said Jack had stolen a camera from a shop the day before.

6. Sam said the police were looking for the thief who had stolen his car.

2. She said they had arrived two minutes before.

3. She said they were getting out of their car.

4. She said she recognised one of them.

5. She said he had robbed a bank in London four years before.

6. She said they looked nervous.

7. She said one of them was carrying a large black bag.

8. She said they were going into the bank.

9. She said she was going to follow them.

Explanation:

Reported speech is the description of what someone said, sort of a paraphrase since we change a few things from the original sentence.

Let's use the first sentence to explain the rules of reported speech.

"People sometimes sell drugs outside my school," said Kate.

First, we identify the speaker. In this case, Kate is the one who said the sentence. Therefore, any first person pronouns (I, my, me) should be transformed into the third person (she, her). "My school" becomes "her school".

Second, we find the verb and identify its tense. In the sentence above, it is "sell", which is in the simple present. When reporting a sentence, we change the verb to the past form of the original tense. For example: simple present --> simple past; simple past --> past perfect; etc. Thus, "sell" becomes "sold."

The whole sentence becomes:

Kate said people sometimes sold drugs outside her school.

Another rule that was not applied in the sentence above is changing time expressions to indicate an earlier time. For example: today --> that day; yesterday --> the day before; tomorrow --> the following day.

Answer:

II. With the smallest of hints, a fragile mind can deceive a person.

IV. A child's amusement can have a negative effect on others.

Explanation:

The story, "The Open Window" tells of Vera the niece of Mrs. Sappleton who was obsessed with lying and found pleasure from doing this. She told a false story of the death of Mr. Sappleton and his three in-laws to Mr. Framton who came visiting and who had a fragile mind because of the nervous disorder he suffered. On seeing the supposedly dead people coming back from the view offered by the open window, he fled from the house.

The story shows that what seems to be fun for children might have bad effects on others seeing that this man was not in a healthy mental state. It also shows that a fragile mind can deceive a person, because Mr. Frampton was easily carried away with Vera's lies because of his nervous breakdown.

which three parts of this excerpt from editha by William Dean Howell's denote the meaninglessness of war​
g100num [7]

Answer:

a. They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went

c. some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches

d.  You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of."

Explanation:

The short story "Editha" by William Dean Howell revolves around the character Editha who thinks that war is glorious and 'forces' her fiancé to enlist. But in the end, the man died, thus showing how useless war is.

After Editha persuades George to enlist for the war, he did not return alive, which led to the outburst of George's mother. She lamented that just because she (Editha) <em>"thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of"</em> doesn't justify the war. She also commented on how people <em>"think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went"</em>. She also referred to the foreigners who weren't there as <em>"poor wretches".</em>

Thus, <u>options a, c, and d shows the meaninglessness of war</u>.
