lakkis [162]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. He said that he couldn't do that on his own.

2. She asked me if I would like some tea.

3. He told me that he had travelled to many countries.

4. He said he would call a taxi when he finishes writing that email.

5. She asked him why he hadn't come to the party.

6. He told me that he was going to see the new James Bond film.

Explanation:

Reported speech is the act of reporting the words said by someone to another person. This act of relaying the same speech to a third person is known as a reported speech or an indirect speech. It relays the same meaning but without the use of direct words, removing the quotation marks and some changes in the sentence.

In a reporting speech, we use reporting verbs such as told, said, etc. And the verbs are also changed from direct speech to indirect speech according to their requirements and tenses involved, like present tense in direct speech changes to past tense in the reported speech.

The correct indirect or reported speech are as follows-

1. He said that he couldn't do that on his own. (negative "can't" changed to couldn't)

2. She asked me if I would like some tea. (would remain the same in reported speech)

3. He told me that he had traveled to many countries. (have changed to had)

4. He said he would call a taxi when he finishes writing that email. (will is changed to would)

5. She asked him why he hadn't come to the party. (negative "didn't" changed to hadn't)

6. He told me that he was going to see the new James Bond film. (am going changed to was going)

how does the poem, When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer, connect to the principles of transcendentalism?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Walden, one of the many Transcendental concepts Thoreau expressed is the idea that God does not exist in some far away place, but lives instead all around us. "Heaven," he wrote, "is under our feet as well as over our heads." As a Transcendentalist, Thoreau believed that God manifests Himself in the natural world; therefore, nature lives as the source of spiritual truth for those who will seek it there. The poem's persona is one such person.

After listening to the astronomer analyze and "explain" the universe with his charts, diagrams, and mathematical formulas, the poem's speaker becomes "tired and sick." He leaves the stifling atmosphere of the confining lecture room and goes out into "the mystical moist night air."

The influence of Transcendental philosophy can be seen in the contrast between the attitudes and values of the lecturer and those of the poem's speaker. The astronomer intellectualizes nature, perhaps even brilliantly. He is very intelligent, but he is not wise. He understands facts, but he misses truth. The poem's speaker, however, understands that the truth of the universe, of nature itself, can only be understood spiritually. Rejecting the astronomer's carefully reasoned "proofs," he seeks truth instead by "[looking] up in perfect silence at the stars."
