Answer:

This is what he said

Explanation:

The disastrous military events which have happened during the

past fortnight have not come to me with any sense of surprise. Indeed,

I indicated a fortnight ago as clearly as I could to the House that the

worst possibilities were open; and I made it perfectly clear then that

whatever happened in France would make no difference to the resolve

of Britain and the British Empire to fight on, “if necessary for years, if

necessary alone.” During the last few days we have successfully

brought off the great majority of the troops we had on the line of

communication in France; and seven-eighths of the troops we have

sent to France since the beginning of the war–that is to say, about

350,000 out of 400,000 men–are safely back in this country. Others

are still fighting with the French, and fighting with considerable success in their local encounters against the enemy. We have also brought

back a great mass of stores, rifles and munitions of all kinds which had

been accumulated in France during the last nine months.

Which sentence refers to the reality of Farquhar ‘s situation in the dream sequence in section 3 of “An occurrence at Owl Creek
Eddi Din [679]
In Ambrose Bierce's short story, "An Event at Owl River Scaffold," Peyton Farquhar is a mainstay of the American South, which, amid the period being referred to, the Common War, can be generally meant mean a well off, upstanding native of the Alliance, and an adversary of the abolitionist development. At a very early stage in his story, Bierce gives the accompanying depiction of his hero who, in the story's opening sections, is going to be executed by hanging:  

"The man who was occupied with being hanged was evidently around thirty-five years old. He was a non military personnel, on the off chance that one may judge from his propensity, which was that of a grower. . .Obviously this was no obscene professional killer." 

Bierce goes ahead to develop his depiction of Peyton Farquhar, taking note of that this figure "was a well to do grower, of an old and exceedingly regarded Alabama family," and that, being "a slave proprietor and like other slave proprietors a legislator, he was normally a unique secessionist and vigorously committed toward the Southern reason." Bierce takes note of that Farquhar imagined himself at one point as an officer in the reason for the Alliance, however one whose military interests were hindered for reasons that are incidental to the account. 

In area II of his story, Bierce gives foundation to clarify Farquhar's difficulty as referenced in the account's opening sections, portraying the primary hero's experience with a dark clad trooper, probably a Confederate warrior battling on an indistinguishable side of this contention from that to which Farquhar's sensitivities lie. It is soon uncovered, be that as it may, that this dim clad trooper is with the Association and has basically set-up the well-to-do southerner as an assumed saboteur. The "Government scout" does this by planting in the psyche of Farquhar the proposal of setting flame to the Owl Brook connect, a key structure vital to the development of Association troops as they progress over the South: 

The fighter reflected. "I was there a month prior," he answered. "I watched that the surge of the previous winter had stopped an incredible amount of driftwood against the wooden dock at this finish of the extension. It is presently dry and would consume like tinder." 

<span>The response to the inquiry - why was Peyton Farquhar hanged - lies in this recommendation negatively offered by the Government spy. Farquhar takes the draw, as it were, and endeavors to cut off the tie to keep its misuse by northern troopers.</span>

To force someone to serve in the military
alex41 [277]
Drafting is the present process that governments use to gain emergency recruits in times of war. In medieval and ancient times, this act was called conscripting and often involved forcibly abducting young boys from their homes and raising them to be men of war (or by forcing captured enemies to fight for them).

Answer:

2. -I'm hungry.-<u> eat</u> your sandwich, then.

3. You're in a hospital.<u> Don't talk</u> loudly.

4.-I think that I'm lost.- <u>Ask</u> for directions, then.

5. Jacob can't solve this problem. <u>Help </u>him, please!

6.It's hot today. <u>Don't take</u> your jacket with you, Lucy.

7.<u>Look</u> at this picture, kids. What can you see?

8. <u>Don't throw </u>rubbish on the street, Pete. We must protect our environment.

Explanation:

We use the imperative form to give orders, instructions, or to warn someone about something. To write sentences in the imperative form, we have to write the verb in the infinitive, and if it is a negative command, we have to write the do not or don't and the verb in the infinitive.

For example, if we want to give an instruction, we can say -Turn on the right- the verb is in the infinite form, the subject may or may not be present since the person can deduce to whom we are saying the command. An example of a sentence where we use the negative form can be - Don't run in the hallways- In this case, we use the auxiliary verb do and the auxiliary not followed by the verb.
