What does the word “indifferent” mean as it is used in paragraph 3

English
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

not caring, causal, with no interest

Explanation:

The word <em>indifferent </em>means that someone <u>does not feel particularly strong feelings about anything and that their interests do not go one way or the other</u>. It means having no particular interest or care about something.

<u>In this passage, the author says they tried to look indifferent, </u><u>meaning that they tried to look as if they don’t care or think about the pear in question</u>. In the text before, they describe that they were hungry and that they wanted to get the pear very much. However, by stating that they “ straightened up then, and looked indifferent” when someone would pass by, they explain how they wanted to seem as they are not earning for the fruit, to seem <u>casual</u>, <u>relaxed</u>, and <u>uninterested </u>about it.

The following sentence contains _____.
-Dominant- [34]
Let's define these types of clauses. Adjective clauses can serve as a multi-word adjective, basically. Noun clauses can serve as a multi-word noun, with a subject and verb, but remember, they are still dependent. Adverb clauses start with a subordinating conjunction. Now let's dissect this sentence. 

"It is not right" independent clause
"to make a promise" adjective clause
"unless one is sure he can fulfill the promise" adverb clause

the answer is "one adverb clause and one adjective clause"
