What is the passage?
lol, Parentheses are generally used as an explanation or afterthought into a passage that is grammatically already complete without the stuff in the parentheses. In writing it is u usually marked with curved brackets.
Example: He finally answered (after taking five minutes to think) that he did not understand the question.
I hope that this helps....
1) D This is because we are waiting to see what will happen now that they will no longer stay silent and be oppressed.
2) B Because the thermometer changed much in society.
Hope this helps!
Was is not an action, so it's a linking verb.
If it had to be the same answer the beginning because you don't introduce characters in the middle or end!!!
If it can be different then conflict would be middle and characters would be begging because a conflict is most likely to be in the middle: the most action packed part of the book.
