Answer:
Once upon a time, there were three girls, Gemini, Herriette, and Tabitha. They had been feeling rather bored with their lives, recently. All of their parents were always busy. Gemini's mother and father both worked full time, Herriette's moms were too busy with her younger sibling, who, at the time, was a 1 year old. He needed constant supervision, and Tabitha's father didn't want to spend time with her. The only enjoyable part of the day was when the three were together. They had planned to break into an abandoned cabin in the woods, because they had heard many rumors about it being haunted by a vengeful female spirit, who would curse any unfortunate person who laid eyes upon her. She was said to had lost her baby in a car accident, when a drunk driver had a head-on collision into her car. That night, she also lost her life. She lived in that very same cabin before the incident took place. The girls thought that they would make more friends at school if they captured her and brought her to show and tell, for everyone was talking about the ghost, but nobody dared to break into the cabin, that is, except for the brave girls, Gemminui, Herriette and Tabitha. At the end of the school day, they had met up in the woods and created a plan to catch her, which they would soon pursue the next day. They could barely sleep that night, thinking about what this ghost may have in store for them. That day, Tabitha and Herriette where falling asleep in class. The anticipation and shear excitement of what was to come after school had kept them up all night! Though, Gemini wasn't worried or excited. She didn't expect to see any ghost in the cabin. After school, the girls packed backpacks full of supplies, such as, flashlights, a net to catch the ghost with, and Tabitha's trusty lock-picking kit! Once they were able to successfully break into the cabin, they immediately smelled something putrid coming from the entrance of the cabin. It was completely trashed, too! The shelves were dusty, the wallpaper was peely and moldy, and there was a baby cradle sitting in the corner of the room, draped with an oddly stainless pink cloth. The girls began to explore the cabinet. There were strange and indecipherable symbols scratched into the wall, presumably by the ghost. Gemini was starting to have second thoughts about the cabin. The girls were startled to here a loud creaking noise coming from the corner of the cabin. Tabitha wearily approached the small cradle and peeked inside, lifting the silk cloth up with a shaky hand. As soon as she lifted it, She heard a baby wailing profusely. It was a ghost! The girls ran, and ran, and ran into the forest. Neither of them ever went there again.

Answer:
B. Once more I looked up Women, found 'position of and turned to the pages indicated.
Explanation:
Virginia Woolf wrote her now famous extended essay "A Room of One's Own" as a speech for a women's college in the University of Cambridge. In it, she details and describes how women figures are important for the literary world and even the authorship of novels or written works but women aren't allowed or found to do so. Instead, they are 'supposed' to be confined within the four walls of the house and concentrate on maintaining the household issues. Thus, she began writing for the betterment of the women, their inclusion in the same opportunities in the writing scene. Though they may also have the same talent as that of their male counterparts, they are still denied the rights, encouragements and opportunities to be able to write on their own. So, she claims that <em>"a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction". </em>Thus, the sentence from the essay that best supports the thought process Woolf employs in conducting her research for the essay is

As for <u>syncretism</u>, it refers to the blending of two or more belief/religious systems or even cultures. <u>Monasticism</u> is also called monkhood and, as the name suggests, it concerns the abandonment of worldly pursuits in favor of spiritual endeavors.

Answer:
Looking (#1)
Explanation:
Non-finite Verb
- Non-finite verbs function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs or combine with a finite verb for verb tense.
- Non-finite verbs Include participles, Infinitives, gerunds, other verbs that don't change form when the subject changes.
Participle
- A verbal that is used as an adjective, describes a noun or pronoun, present participles always end in -ing, past participles usually end in -ed.
Gerund
- verb form acting as a noun - always ends in -ing.
Infinitive
- a verb form that is used as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb and is typically preceded by the word to.
Continuation:
Word: She (Pronoun)
- She is a pronoun. It's a noun that refers to another noun or noun phrase anaphorically, although it can't be preceded by a determiner and seldom accepts an attributive adjective. In English, examples are I, you, he, who, me, mine, and so on. It can also be used as a subjective or nominative pronoun. It is most commonly used to begin a statement. It is, however, rarely used as a noun.
Word: Was (Linking Verb)
- The word "was" is a verb, more precisely a linking verb, since it connects the subject to the section of the sentence that offers further information about the topic. Furthermore, this form of the verb "to be" represents a state of being.
Word: Looking (Present Participle)
- Looking is the present participle of look. A participle is a verb that ends in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) and serves as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase is made up of a participle and one or more modifiers, objects, and/or complements (s).
Word: For (Preposition)
- When used to signify the usage of something, the place where an object or person is going, or the period of time, the word "for" is defined as a preposition.
Word: Her (Pronoun)
- Her is a pronoun in the third person singular. Her is the subject or object of a verb or a preposition. Her is a possessive determiner as well. You refer to a lady, a girl, or a feminine animal with her.
Word: Sister (Noun)
- This word is referring to someone's/something's female sibling. This word is a noun because a word that is a person, place, or thing is classified as this part of speech. The noun sister can be used as either a proper or common noun.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- After looking through this sentence, we can come to one conclusion. Since looking ends in -ing, it is classified as a gerund. Therefore, the word <u><em>looking</em></u> is a non-finite verb.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the other words in the sentence are not considered or classified as non-finite verb as their word classifications do not match those of the description/definition given of what a non-finite verb is.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
She was <u>looking</u> for her sister.
- NOTE: Verbs with tense are finite, and verbs without tense are nonfinite.
