<u>Explanation:</u>
There are subtle ‘hints,’ or details, presented throughout the story that show “Araby” is not taking place in the United States. For starters, the story states these two specific street names: “North Richmond Street” and “Buckingham Street.” Now, these are two street names that America does have. There is a Richmond Street located in Palmdale, California and there is a Buckingham Street in Fullerton, California. Based on this information alone one might (unknowingly & incorrectly) assume that the story is taking place in America. However, there is one sentence in the story that reveals this story could not have taken place in the United States. Read the first sentence of “Araby”:
<em>“North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.”</em>
<em />
According to this sentence, there is a Christian Brothers’ School located on North Richmond Street. Only one place in the world has an all boys school located on a street called North Richmond. That place is Dublin, Ireland. Therefore, based on the gathered information, it is safe to say that this story takes place in Dublin, Ireland; not the United States.
<em>FUN FACT:</em>
<em>The Christian Brothers’ School on North Richmond Street changed its name to O’Connell Secondary School.</em>
Answer:
I'm gonna try. Hope it helps.
Explanation:
I think you should choose the historical figure by yourself, but I'll try to help guide you on the rest.
You should include firstly who you chose the figure. What about the person captured your attention and why do you like them. Did they accomplish something that you admire? The personality contributes to the story however you want it to. If you want the personality as a main character of your own version of the story, you could do that. Fiction is about making the story the way you want it to go. You can play on the freedom there. The plot can be focused on achieving a goal or learning about life, or even finding a lost one. Sorry that last part sounded unhelpful. But really you can make it whatever you want. Feel free to comment on what you don't understand, hope it helped even a little.
Answer:
The noun the underlined participle modifies is:
b. aspects.
Explanation:
In the sentence we are analyzing here, there is a present participle, "troubling". A present participle is formed by adding -ing to a verb stem (interesting, caring, loving, etc.). Present and past participles can function as adjectives, modifying nouns or pronouns in a sentence. That is precisely the case here, where "troubling" is modifying the noun "aspects", attributing a quality to it. For that reason, we can choose letter B as the best option.
