Hello,

The way to find the meaning of a word within a passage is to look at the context of the passage as a whole. This stanza from “Invictus” follows a pattern.

The speaker is saying; despite all of these adversities, “I am the captain of my soul.” So, if we take out the line with “strait” in it and replace it with the options above, which ones makes the most sense as something that the narrator would have to OVERCOME?

It matters not how UPRIGHT the gate,

It matters not how CLEAN the gate,

It matters not how FORMAL the gate,

It matters not how NARROW the gate,

Which one of these is a gate which would make it more difficult for the speaker to pass through? That’s your answer.

Grade 5 plz help questions A. And B.
docker41 [41]
I'm assuming an article is not a part of speech. Next, I'm going to go with v, as there are no contractions or abbreviations in bacteria. For 3, they are both organisms, and that is a noun, so A. For Part B, "The death of an animal means life for fungi because as fungi decompose the organic material from the animal, they also consume nutrients from it." Hope this helped.

Which of these words is not a preposition without until for place
Fittoniya [83]
Place is not a preposition.  A preposition is a word that can be added to the end of a complete sentence which can then make a longer sentence.
E.g. of a complete sentence: The cat sat. 

You can then use the preposition "on" to extend the sentence to:
"The cat sat on the mat".
You could then use more prepositions to extend the sentence again:
The cat sat on the mat for the whole morning without getting up for a stretch until the mail man arrived.   Each word that comes directly before the preposition could also be the end of the sentence.   Place, cannot be used as a prepositon
