Which sentence below contains a spelling error?

Llana [10]

The sentence 'I recieved her letter of resignation' contains a spelling error.

Option D.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The correct spellings of 'recieved' are 'received'.

The word 'receive' means getting something from someone or something. For example: Allison received a medal for winning the drawing contest. In this sentence, Allison was given a medal by her school.

The word follows a very old and common English vocabulary rule called: I before E except after C. According to this rule, in certain words, alphabet 'i' shall be placed before alphabet 'e' as long as they are preceding the alphabet 'c'. For example: In F-R-I-E-N-D, I is placed before E as they are not [preceding the alphabet C; which in this word does not exist entirely.

But, if the letters 'i' and 'e' are to be placed right after alphabet 'c', then the 'e' shall precede 'i'. For example: In words such as 'R-E-C-E-I-V-E' and 'P-E-R-C-E-I-V-E', E precedes I as they both are placed right after 'c'.

To avoid this common mistake, it is advised to refer to a spell check.

What is the structure of the short story the secret life of Walter Mitty

ikadub [295]

This story vascillates between the everyday humdrum life of Water Mitty, the hen-pecked husband sterotype, and the extravagant adventures he lives in his daydreams. Mitty flits in and out of reality, his daydreams concocted by a stream of consciousness association triggered by the sputtering of his car's exhaust pipe, a pair of gloves, and finally a freshly lit cigarette. In such a way this docile "hubby" gets to be the captain of an icebreaker, a famous surgeon, a defendent in a murder trial and finally a fighter pilot taken captive distaining a firing squad. Mitty's imagination is his "second life," which nurtures his deflated ego and helps hims escape the insufferable mediocrity of his existence.

If you do a graph of the plot line of this story, it would look very much like a cardiograph printout, with the steady horizontal line of Mitty's real life intermittantly broken by the highs and lows of his "virtual" existence.

Read this passage from Beowulf.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

b. Suspense.

Explanation:

The lines are from the epic "Beowulf" which tells of the heroic deeds of the protagonist and hero Beowulf.

Taken from Chapter 23, the lines refer to when the Geats saw the water filled with blood. They did not know that their leader had vanquished and beheaded Grendel and his mother. Rather, they were of the opinion that Beowulf had been killed by the monsters. This is a theme of suspense for the soldiers who are waiting for their leader. They were sure that their master / leader had been killed. Even Hrothgar had turned his boat and sailed, while the Geats waited expectantly and patiently, hoping for Beowulf to return.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1. There were Fewer outdoor sport fans in the past.

2. I drank Less water than she did at the last basketball competition.

3. I have Less than an hour to do this exercise.

4. We have Less time to go in for sports these days.

5. Fewer than thirty children each year participate in the chess tournament.

6. This athlete does Fewer workout on weekdays. He has a full time job at the Sports

Committee

Explanation:

Fewer is used for things that can be counted such as, kids, chairs, balloons, etc...

Less is used for singular mass nouns

Here’s a tip: A good way to test that a noun is truly uncountable is to try making a plural out of it.

Example: I told Cookie Monster to drink fewer/less milks or he would get sick?

Because Milk is a liquid, we can't count it. Making 'less' the proper word choice

Example: I told Cookie Monster to drink less milk or he would get sick?

I hope this helped!
