Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave” by Neil MacGregor. In the early nineteenth century Japan had been effectively c

losed off from the world for 200 years. It had simply opted out of the community of nations. Kings are burning somewhere, Wheels are turning somewhere, Trains are being run, Wars are being won, Things are being done Somewhere out there, not here. Here we paint screens. Yes . . . the arrangement of the screens. This is Stephen Sondheim’s musical tableau of the secluded and calmly self-contained country in 1853, just before American gunships forced its harbours to open to the world. It is a witty caricature of the dreamy and aesthetic Japanese, serenely painting screens while across the seas Europe and America industrialize and political turmoil rages. What is the purpose of the outside source used in this excerpt? to illustrate Japan’s isolation in the 1800s to educate readers about Japanese screens to introduce readers to a musical by Stephen Sondheim to argue against American aggressiveness

To illustrate Japan’s isolation in the 1800s  

Further Explanation:

<u>The Great Wave off Kanagawa which is also known by the name of The Great Wave is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Hokusai and this was published sometime between the period of 1829 and 1833</u>. This is known to be among the famous works by Hokusai and also is considered as one of the most recognizable works of Japanese artwork. The work of Hokusai opened the gates of Japan to the world as before that from the last 200 years, Japan had isolated itself from the world.  

Following the Meiji Restoration, Japan became open to imports and was out of isolation and much of the Japanese art came to Europe and America and in no time, Japanese art gained popularity among the western world. <u>The Japanese art was known by the name of Japonism and the woodblock prints of Japan became a source of inspiration for artists of many genres.  </u>

Answer: To illustrate Japan's isolation in the 1800s.

Explanation: The outside source in this excerpt (the first few lines) clearly describes how while the rest of the world was dealing with monarchies, wars and developing new technologies like trains and wheels, Japan decided to be totally closed off from all of that, and they concentrated just in painting screens for 200 years.

Identify the tense of the italicized verb in the sentence below.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Present perfect

Explanation:

The tense of the italicized verb 'have moved' would be present perfect as it denotes a past event/action having its present consequences. <u>Present perfect tense primarily functions to express the actions that took place before now at an unspecified time</u>. It combines the present(through use of 'have') and past(by showing perfection or completion of the action 'moved') and that's how it signals the association between the past and the present. Thus, <em>the use of 'have' followed by past participle signals that present perfect tense is employed in the sentence</em>.
