    In the movie, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson know why a stepfather's deadly, but not how. While in the book, "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," Sherlock Holmes investigates the case of a young bride-to-be whose sister was murdered. Helen's sister died shortly before her wedding and Helen suspects that their stepfather, Roylott, is the culprit. Helen now worries for her own safety.

    The setting takes place in Surrey, a suburb of London about 30 miles southwest of the city. The sisters live with their stepfather, Dr. Roylott, on a 200-year old ancestral estate called Stoke... while in the movie it is also the same.

    The characters in the book are Sherlock Holmes, Dr Roy, Mrs. Stoner, John, and Helen.

    In “The Adventures of the Speckled Band” book, the theme of the story is that evil will be punished by fate if not by man's instruments of justice. The story demonstrates a kind of karma. The doctor commits evil deeds, and those deeds pave the way for him to destroy himself. The same goes for the movie.

 "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is written from the perspective of Dr. John Watson, Holmes's close friend and avid admirer, and through his eyes Doyle presents a picture of Sherlock Holmes as a genius whose "rapid deductions, as swift as intuitions," are a joy to observe. The speckled band in this story is a snake. It is supposedly the "deadliest snake in India." It kills both Mrs. Stoner and Dr. Roy.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

how does this excerpt provide evidence of the theme real champions care about others feelings. it shows that squeaky actually le
makkiz [27]

Answer:

It shows that Squeaky wants Raymond to also experience success.

Explanation:

According to a different source, the passage that should be included in this question is:

<em>"And I’m smiling to beat the band cause if I’ve lost this race, or if me and Gretchen tied, or even if I’ve won, I can always retire as a runner and begin a whole new career as a coach with Raymond as my champion. After all, with a little more study I can beat Cynthia and her phony self at the spelling bee. And if I bugged my mother, I could get piano lessons and become a star. And I have a big rep as the baddest thing around. And I’ve got a roomful of ribbons and medals and awards. But what has Raymond got to call his own?"</em>

In these lines, we learn that Squeaky does not deeply care about winning. Although she was absolutely determined to win before, taking a look at her brother allows her to reevaluate her skills and her running abilities. She realizes that she has a lot to be grateful for, and that winning is not the only thing that matters. Instead, she also cares about her brother Raymond and his success. This shows that she is a real champion, as she also cares about the feelings and experiences of other people.

Identify the inflection of the verb mixed. A. infinitive B. present, third person singular C. past tense D. present participle
Arlecino [84]
The correct answer is C. past tense.

Past tense is a grammatical tense used to describe an action or event that is done in the past. "Mixed" has a regular form "mix" and by adding "-ed" to it, it becomes a past tense.
