Answer:

The bell was a dummy and not even working.

Explanation:

The short story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series. The story revolves, as usual, around the mysterious case of murder which Sherlock Holmes and Watson tries to solve.

While examining the room where Ju lia Stoner was killed mysteriously, Holmes and Watson noticed that there was a bell attached along the walls which seems normal, as people use it to summon for anything. But the weird part about this particular bell was that it was<em> "a dummy"</em>, and <em>"it is not even attached to a wire.[. . .] it is fastened to a hook just above where the little opening for the ventilator is."</em> This means that the bell was just a means for something else other than summoning the housekeeper.

Read the excerpt from Act IV, scene iv of Romeo and Juliet.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: the nurse will be unable to rouse Juliet.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em>, Act IV, Scene I, Friar Lawrence makes a plan to reunite the two lovers. He will give Juliet a portion that lasts for 24 hours, which will make her seem dead during that time. Friar will send news to Romeo, and by the time he arrives at the tomb where Juliet's body will be placed, she will wake up and run away with him.

<em>Dramatic irony</em> is a situation in which the audience is informed about something that the characters don't know. This excerpt from Act IV, Scene IV, is an example of dramatic irony, since the nurse suggests that they should wake Juliet up and get her dressed for the wedding, but the audience knows that she will be unable to wake her up due to the portion that she took.

the town elected a fire chief and he is a fearless leader . In which option is a participial phrase used to revise the sentence
tekilochka [14]

The participle phrase starts either with the present   (dependably ending with -ing) or past   (dependably ending with -ed)

The participle phrase includes the modifiers or objects to complete the thought of the sentence.

For instance, in the above sentence 'elected' is in past and modifies 'fire chief'. Therefore, the participle phrase acts as an adjective always, providing a description of the sentence.
