Answer:
The statement which summarizes the central idea of this passage is:
A. The yellow fever epidemic had lasting consequences for the city.
Explanation:
The passage begins by saying the number of people who died of the fever were in the thousands - 4 or 5. That number may very well have been bigger but it was difficult to keep count at that time. Then it moves on to say that <u>one thing was clear to all, independently on how accurate that number was: that things would never be the same. The epidemic would have lasting consequences, then. The losses, the fear, all of it was "too real and personal". It would forever change people's lives.</u>
Answer:
Your answer would be the following one: their, there, buy, and by.
Explanation:
The first option is the possessive determiner because you can see that the word is followed by a noun phrase. Possessive determiners are words that are used in front of nouns to express possession. They occur with a noun and they do not replace noun phrases as pronouns do.
The second option is the adverb "there". In this case, the adverb of place has been used to refer to a place that has already been mentioned (the convention). Then, the third option is the verb "buy". The word is preceded by the indefinite particle and followed by an NP which functions as the direct object. Finally, the last option is the preposition "by". That PP takes an NP complement "their favorite author".
Answer:
The author's intention in describing how Monsieur Loisel planned to spend his savings is to show that he is frugal and faithfully saves for something he wants.
Explanation:
Option A fits the author's intention because of the following reasons.
1. At the beginning of the excerpt, the author pointers out that Monsieur Loisel got slightly pale and he was making savings to purchase a gun; This can be summarised as being frugal (sparing or economical as regards money or food). Being pale, as used in this excerpt is as a result of depriving himself of good food.
2. The author also pointed out that he planned to shoot with some friends on a certain day; This illustrates his willingness to buy whatever he wants.
Short stories and novels typically involve these elements the most often. Although I will say, nothing is quite as creepy as a well-written horror/suspense poem.
Answer:
Opal.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" revolves around the comedic yet romantic relationships of the numerous characters. The themes of this play involve mistaken identity, love, ambition, reality, and appearances.
In Act II scene iv, Duke Orsino asks his page Cesario, Viola in disguise, to give his love Olivia a gemstone. With the directive to<em> "Give her this jewel. Say My love can give no place, bide no denay." </em>This gem referred to is an opal, as stated by the clown when he said <em>"for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything and their intent everywhere".</em> Just like the gen can change its colors, the clown points out that Count Orsino is exactly the same.
