Playwrights use stage directions to give more insight into how the characters should be interacting with each other. Shakespeare uses actually very few stage directions compared to some modern playwrights who detail every move a character is supposed to make.
Stage directions help develop the plot because they help the actors and audience physically move in the space to move the action forward. For example, in Caesar we get the stage direction "<span>CASCA first, then the other Conspirators and BRUTUS stab CAESAR". We understand through the dialogue that they are going to stab Caesar, but this gives us the person who stabs first and the person who stabs last. This helps give meaning to the characters because we learn a lot about Casca (he is the most willing to start the violence) and Brutus (he is still hesitating and it takes him the longest to actually be able to follow through). Also, it develops the plot in the obvious way that if this action does not occur, the rest of the play could not happen.</span>
Answer B. (Future perfect tense is used, as the sentence refers to something that will be completed by some point in the future.) is correct.
B is correct because the event which will happen in the future (the baking of the cakes) will also have ended.
I will have baked is a correct form of future perfect, because future perfect is made with the following construction:
Subject + will have + past participle
Answer:
This is a simile.
The word 'like' makes it a simile instead of a metaphor. In this excerpt from "marigolds," The narrator is describing their mother's voice as calm and soothing by saying it sounds "like a cool, dark room in summer...." This adds to the overall characterization because the reader can better understand what the mother's voice sounds like. It creates a picture inside your head.
The correct answer to this question should be <span>A. </span><span>Somewhere in these boxes is my birth certificate. The verb agrees with its subject which is singular as in this sentence in its passive voice. The subject is "my birth certificate" and the verb used is "is".</span>
