Described roughly/uncontrollable fire
Adumbrate is an academic word that is used to foreshadow something to occur, or as it is used in the sentence here, meant to give a vague description or outline of something. The usage of this word is extremely low according to normal corpus linguistic standards. The root of the word is "umbra" and from the Latin, shadow. And as such is the other more frequently used intention of the word - to foreshadow. In this context of foreshadowing, it is meant to tell what is likely to occur in a novel or story line.
Conflagration on the other hand is a powerful fire. It is meant to be used to describe a fire which is incredibly destructive and intense. A good synonym would be "inferno", as this also includes connotations with hell and/or the devil. A conflagration would be a spectacle to watch and in extremely dangerous to be in or around.
Answer:
C. The author wants to give a historical background of the Hong Kong protests.
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the author gives a rundown of the origin of the Hong Kong protests which started when Hong Kong was still a British colony from 1841 to 1941 and right down to 1997 when China took over control of the country.
During these times, the citizens of Hong Kong continued to protest about a bill which they believed would not allow them to have fair trials. This rundown provides a historical background of the Hong Kong protests.
B) It is unnecessary to oversee the athletes involved in mixed martial arts.
The viewpoint made in section one is that "State athletic commissions should strictly monitor and regulate the UFC." A rebuttal statement is one that goes against the viewpoint, so it needs to say something about how the UFC should not be monitored or regulated. Option A agrees with the viewpoint by saying overseeing athletes is necessary. Option B states the opposite by saying it is unnecessary to oversee athletes. Therefore, this is the correct answer. Option C says that athletes must self-regulate. While this puts the responsibility of regulating on the athletes, it does not take it away from the commissions. There is nothing here to suggest that the commissions would not regulate just because the athletes are. Option D has nothing to do with monitoring or regulating so it is a poor choice.
The correct answer for this one is this: "<span>We left the performance early because we were tired." </span>The sentence with a clause used as a modifier to the verb is <span>We left the performance early because we were tired. Because of the clause 'because we were tired' stands as the modifier</span> for the verb left, it describes it, and gives the reason why they left early.
