Answer:

A floodgate is what it sounds like - a gate that holds back dangerous waters from something that needs to be protected; typically some sort of shoreline civilization. To break it sets the water forth, which is represented as tears here. This basically means that whatever was stopping that character from crying, whether it be pride, the situation, or other factors, is now gone, and they're ready to let out all of their pent-up tears.

The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: He is looking for a challenge in his life.

Explanation:

General Zaroff is the main antagonist of The Most Dangerous Game, a story by Richard Connell. He is a wealthy man who lives on an island where he hunts other people.

It is more than clear that Zaroff is evil, as he is even ready to murder other people. The main reason behind his evil behavior is that hunting animals is no longer a challenge for Zaroff. He is motivated to hunt men because it is more dangerous and challenging for him. Men are more intelligent 'prey.'

How would I separate the subject from the predicate from each other in this sentence

icang [17]

Answer:

Canning or freezing keeps food from spoiling.

Explanation:

I've underlined the subject and written the predicate in bold letters.

The subject is the part of the sentence that tells us who or what is performing an action expressed by the verb. It can also tell us who or what is being described by the predicate.

The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.

Here, the subject are the words canning and freezing. This is a compound subject - a subject that consists of two or more simple subjects that share a verb or verb phrase. The verb these words share is keeps. This verb is a part of the complete predicate: keeps food from spoiling.

To confirm this, we can ask:

for the subject - What keeps food from spoiling? Canning or freezing.
for the predicate - What does canning or freezing do? It keeps food from spoiling.

Why are people, and in particular girls and women, willing to risk death to escape the refugee camp

ASHA 777 [7]

People are willing to risk death to escape the camps because they are intensely overcrowded, with people living in shelters made of bamboo and plastic sheeting. Also, the people in the camps can't get jobs or leave the camps without permission, putting them in a permanent state of poverty.
