Verbs
are simply known as the ‘action’ words – may it be mental, physical or
mechanical. When verbs are paired with auxiliaries (helping verbs), they are
known as verb phrase. These helping verbs always go first before the actual
verb. <span>Perfect
tenses serves a portraying the verb or the action word as something that
already happened or is completed, thus the term ‘perfect’. If it is present
perfect tense, it means that the action was already done relatively to the
present (has/have with past participle). If it is past perfect tense, action is
already finished relatively to the past (had with past participle and if it is
future perfect tense, action is complete relatively to the future (will have with
past participle</span></span>
Let's break down the sentence word for word:
- The = article
- children = noun (subject)
- excitedly = adverb (modifies the verb "talked")
- talked = verb
- about = preposition
- the = article
- fun = noun
- of = preposition
- fishing = noun
There's only one adverb and it is "excitedly" which modifies the verb "talked". It describes how the children talked. There are no adjectives in this sentence.
If the sentence said "they talked excitedly about big fish" then the word "big" would be the adjective that describes the noun "fish"; ie it elaborates more on the fish.
Uhh... answer D is the true answer
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "D. It repeats the word folly to emphasize the mistakes white people have made." the statement that best explains how the use of parallelism in this excerpt supports Baldwin's purpose is that D. It repeats the word folly to emphasize the mistakes white people have made.<span>
