Which statement best describes how Wells conveys his purpose with this excerpt?

Anton [14]

Read the excerpt from H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds.

The peculiar V-shaped mouth with its pointed upper lip, the absence of brow ridges, the absence of a chin beneath the wedgelike lower lip, the incessant quivering of this mouth, the Gorgon groups of tentacles, the tumultuous breathing of the lungs in a strange atmosphere, the evident heaviness and painfulness of movement due to the greater gravitational energy of the earth—above all, the extraordinary intensity of the immense eyes—were at once vital, intense, inhuman, crippled and monstrous. There was something fungoid in the oily brown skin, something in the clumsy deliberation of the tedious movements unspeakably nasty.

Which statement best describes how Wells conveys his purpose with this excerpt?

A) He provides quotes from experts.
B) He shares data about the creature.
C) He appeals to the reader's beliefs.
D) He uses detailed physical description.

Answer: D) He uses detailed physical description.

Which is the independent clause in this sentence?

luda_lava [24]

An independent clause is a set of words that can hold on its own as a sentence. It has a subject, verb and complete thought, as most would say. A dependent clause on the other hand cannot stand on its own.

The answer to this is "She can't study in France.".

Patricia does not know French is not the complete clause, Because Patricia does not know French is an dependent clause easily identified because it starts with BECAUSE and of course BECAUSE is not a clause, it is a subordinating conjunction.

Why is it important to check deep underground areas of permafrost cores?

lana66690 [7]

Answer: When permafrost is frozen, plant material in the soil—called organic carbon—can't decompose, or rot away. As permafrost thaws, microbes begin decomposing this material. This process releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere.

Remark

Left Pane

What is freedom? What do people mean when they say they want freedom? Is that really what Andrew wants? Does he know? Suppose someone gave him 10 million dollars. What would that mean?

Would it mean he would never have to return to the business of packing grocery bags and listening to blaring announcements that really mean nothing to him? Would it mean that he could do anything he wanted? Would it mean that he could live endlessly on a beach when he wasn't driving around. Yes, it would mean all of those freedoms. That's what Andrew thinks is Freedom.

So having defined Freedom for Andrew, where do we find it in the writing. Begin with the second paragraph. Gets home, turns on the ignition and kicks the thing into a high roar. And off he goes.

He's responsible. So he starts off slow, but soon speeds up to keep up with the highway traffic. That's part of the freedom: keeping up with whoever is on the highway -- fast driving. Andrew always preferred driving in open air. Wherever he lives, Open Air feels good. [Good thing he doesn't live in Canada where it can get to > - 40oC.]

He dreams of riding forever and never returning to his job. That's freedom. Just find the sentences that say what I've said.

Middle Pane

One: The first one depends on what you are told. The character is against a whole bunch of people, plus whoever is competing in the Marathon. I would say it is character against society because there is no one person he is competing against. Check your notes.

Two: A Snake bite? Are snakes not a part of nature? It's man against nature.

Three: A husband and wife arguing? What else is new? Character against character.

Four: Character vs. Self. What shall she do? There's no one else in this scenario. So it is one character vs no one else but herself.

Right Pane

For this one, I'm just going to post an answer. If you disagree, use your answer. The sentence at the end of the first paragraph is the one I would go with. "The world to me what a secret which I desired to divine." Yes he likes the female and she is a good companion, but he finds nature much more interesting. You could pick the next sentence as well.
