Answer:

"And then they arrived - the minister's family and all my  relatives in a clamor of doorbells and rumpled Christmas  packages."- Imagery.

"Robert grunted hello, and I pretended he was  not worthy of existence."- Onomatopoeia.

Explanation:

Literary devices are the different techniques that writers use in describing their characters or giving the details of the story. These devices enable better expressions of the ideas and emotions of the writers and their own styles of presenting the story.

In the first sentence, Amy Tan's description of the guests who arrived <em>"in a clamor of doorbells and rumpled Christmas packages"</em> uses <u>imagery</u> in describing them. It appeals to the sense of sight and sound, appealing to the readers' senses.

Moreover, the word <em>"grunted" </em>in the second sentence is an <u>onomatopoeia</u>, where the word is derived from the sound it produces.

Identify the non-finite verb forms in this sentence: 1. She was looking for her sister.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

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.
  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. 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.

The three apparitions speak to Macbeth but do not answer any questions he has. What does this suggest about the culture's point
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: D. that people cannot exert control over supernatural elements

Explanation:

When the three apparitions were summoned for Macbeth, they spoke to him but didn't answer his questions. The apparitions summoned were the armed head, a child crowned, that had a tree in his hand and a bloody child.

The apparitions told Macbeth to be careful of Macduff but despite that he was assured that no one can harm him and that he won't be overthrown until when Birnam Wood eventually moves to Dunsinane.

The three apparitions not answering his questions indicates that people cannot exert control over supernatural elements.
