Answer:
It is not what it used to be.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled "A Good Man is Hard to Find." It focuses on a grandmother and her travel to Tennessee with her family for a vacation.
During the trip, they stopped at a restaurant whereby the grandmother talked to Red Sammy,<em> the owner of the restauran</em>t. Both of them agreed that <u>it was hard to find a good man these days compared to the past.</u> The grandmother also mentioned about "The Misfit," a dangerous criminal who was headed in the same direction.
So, this explains the answer "It is not what it used to be."
Answer:
the answer is A hyperbole
The word <em>wishing </em>is used as a participle in this case. Although gerunds and participles look the same, they are used in different senses - gerunds generally denote nouns, whereas participles have more of an adverbial meaning.
Iambic pentameter is fives sets of iambs, or one unstressed followed by one stressed.
The only choice that matches that description is option A.
The others all start with a stressed syllable, so they can not be iambs.
Hope this helps =)
