Identify the italicized word according to its class in structural linguistics.

English
1 answer:
nignag [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Intensive

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • intensive
  • adjective
  • noun
  • empty word
  • verb

The italicized word is <em>extremely</em>. It is an adverb. Adverbs are words used to modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Here, <em>extremely </em>modifies the adjective <em>busy</em>. This is why we can eliminate <em>noun, adjective, </em>and <em>verb</em> as potentially correct options.

Empty words are words that have no lexical meaning and function as a grammatical link or marker. An example of an empty word in English is the infinitive marker <em>to</em>.

Intensives are words used to show stronger, more forceful, or more concentrated actions. An example of an intensive used in English is <em>so</em>. Here, the word <em>extremely </em>intensifies the principal's busy-ness.

True or false<br><br>An apostrophe can make a word into a conjunction or a make it possessive?​
mixas84 [53]
False. It can make things possessive. The cabin belonging to Tom becomes Tom’s cabin.

Cannot becomes can’t, but that is a contraction, not a conjunction.

Conjunctions are “linking” words like and, but, yet, or, nor, etc.

Which idea is expressed in this excerpt from "Anecdote of the Jar" by Wallace Stevens?
marshall27 [118]
Taking the whole poem into account, I think the correct answer must be C.

The jar is a small, common, impersonal object, but in Stevens' view, it affects the nature, depriving it of its inherent wilderness. Although it is one of a thousand, it still has the power and dominion over nature. Its meaningless existence leaves a negative trail in this world. If the jar was regarded as faceless a person living in a highly commercialized, industrialized world, and the nature as freedom, the parallel would be all the more effective.
