Australia’s Great Barrier Reef may be on the verge of a massive outbreak of coral bleaching caused by sea temperatures soaring for the third time in six years.
“The entire reef has been in a bleaching hotspot for the past month, and excessively hot water is still spreading and intensifying,” says Tom Goreau of the Global Coral Reef Alliance in Cambridge, MA who issued the first warnings of the last bleaching epidemic two years ago. The sea is currently up to 2°C warmer than normal.
Goreau predicts that this bleaching “will be the worst yet,” and will extend across the South Pacific to the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia.
Mr. White doubts that the monkey's paw can really grant wishes.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option d) His wounded pride and offense have made him behave angrily.
Explanation:
In this passage Oedipus is clearly angry as we see the word "wroth" that means intensely angry, also he is emitting a judgment even if he doesn't have proofs and we confirm this with the word "stint" that means an inadequate amount of something. With these two ideas in mind it's not the option a as he is making a judgment, is not the option b as he is blaming others and finally is not the option c because he is very angry at that matter, he can't control his emotions so he is not selfless at all. He is proud and quick to anger so any kind of offense will make him behave angrily.
In the sentence: "We would like to work in the soup kitchen <u>more frequently</u> next year", the degree of comparison of the underlined adverb is B. Comparative.
In English grammar, an adjective or adverb can be in a particular form that implicates a comparative relation. This relation can be of more or less, or greater or lesser.
Comparatives are characterized by the suffix -er ("This house is bigger than the other one") or distinguished by the word more or less ("This job is more difficult than the other one").
