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)

What are some of the things that make Macbeth a terrible king? Why do you think some people are still loyal to him and have stay
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Macbeth's act of murdering Duncan, Banquo, and trying to kill Banquo's son make him a terrible king.

Some people remained loyal to Macbeth because they knew that after Duncan, Macbeth would be the next king, and they do not want to be disfavored in the eyes their king.

Explanation:

"Macbeth" is a tragic play penned by William Shakespeare.

Shakespeare has characterized the character of Macbeth which is driven by ambition and lust for power. In his pursuit of his ambition of becoming the King of Scotland, he make his sinister plans come real, by murdering King Duncan, to steal his throne. When the guards witnessed murder, he killed them too. And, when Macbeth became suspicious of Banquo he killed him as well. He actions of murdering and coveting the throne of Scotland made him a terrible king.

In the play, some people remained loyal to Macbeth, even after knowing his sinister actions such as Seyton. They remained loyal to Macbeth because they knew that he will be the next to be enthroned on Scotland's throne, and if they would become disloyal to him, their lives would also be in danger. They feared, that if, Macbeth can kill his dear friend Banquo for throne, than their lives can also be in danger if they would be disloyal to him.

What is the meaning of status-quo and avant-garde
topjm [15]
Status-quo means the existing state of something. A common example used for this is like saying a rich person is happy with their status-quo. They are happy with how things are going.

Avant-garde means a couple of different things depending on if you use it as a noun, verb, adjective, etc. It basically refers to ideas or proposals that are extremely creative, innovative. A good way to think of this word is the expression "think out of the box." Avant-garde ideas are NOT common or plain.
