ira [324]

They ask the priest to sprinkle holy water on the grave so the old man’s spirit will make it rain.


When the priest is asked to home to the burial with the holy water, the priest initially refuses since the family did not ask him to say the funeral rites or have Mass. Leon, who comes to get the priest says, "we just want him to have plenty of water." Then the last line of the story says, "he was happy about the sprinkling of the holy water; now the old man could send them big thunderclouds for sure." From this we can infer that the people expect Teofilo to make it rain now that he has died. This also connects with the title of the story.

I handed my flowers to her in front of everyone. Which pronoun functions as an adjective in the sentence? Either my,her,I,everyo
Kitty [74]

Answer:

"my".

Explanation:

Pronouns are those words that replace or are used in place of nouns so that the noun does not repeat itself again and again in a sentence. On the other hand, adjectives are those words that describe the nouns in a sentence.

So, in the sentence <em>"I handed my flowers to her in front of everyone"</em>, the nouns are "I, my, her, everyone". Among these pronouns, the one that describes a noun is "my", describing the noun "flowers".

Therefore, the correct pronoun that functions as an adjective is "my".
