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.

Explain how beginning the story with the dialogue between Rainsford and Whitney contributes to both the author’s characterizatio
juin [17]

The conversation between Rainsford and Whitney contributed to the characterization of Rainford by showing how at the beginning he sees himself as a superior being towards animals and he doesn't give any importance to the pain or fear they might feel, an example of this is the phrase  “The world is made up of two classes — the hunters and the huntees. Luckily you and I are the hunters.”On the other hand, Whitney believes the opposite we can see through the story how Rainford changes his mind when he sees himself on the side and we can infer that when at the end he talks about how different does it feel to be the huntee.

These sentences are also examples of the gothic and suspenseful mood of the story showing us the complexity of the human psyche
