Introductory clauses are dependent clauses that provide background information or "set the stage" for the main part of the sentence, the independent clause. For example:
If they want to win, athletes must exercise every day.
(introductory dependent clause, main clause)
<span>Grendel is evil, and Beowulf is good so he slays him to eradicate evil and claim a reward.</span>
I would argue that the character of the young Daisy Miller was an innocent flirt rather than a manipulator. She was full of life, of freedom, of sincerity, and of grace, and she was beautiful, carefree, charming, and certainly ahead of her time, but she was far from being a manipulator. She had "a great deal of gentlemen's society," as she herself pointed out, but she was unpretentious, "unsophisticated," and "completely uncultivated," as Winterbourne described her, so it is possible to say that she acted naturally, not in a manipulative way.
This can also be confirmed in the passage that narrates the moment when they both met: "... (Daisy) was a coquette; he was sure she had a spirit of her own; but in her bright, sweet, superficial little visage there was no mockery, no irony." This, once again, indicates that she was honest and straightforward, and far from Machiavellian.
This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
Which sentence signals a plot twist about halfway through the story?
“The kid with the earring starts screaming, ‘Goldfish, goldfish.'”
“‘No reason to take him to the hospital anyway,' says the goldfish.”
“Sergei . . . tells the kid, it's nothing, just a regular goldfish.”
“Sergei understands the boy . . . came . . . to snatch Sergei's fish.”
Answer:
The correct answer is “‘No reason to take him to the hospital anyway,' says the goldfish.”
Explanation:
A plot twist is a radical and unexpected turn of events that occurs suddenly for the viewer and that has enough relevance to change the fate of the protagonists of the narrative who suffer from it.
In short, and in simpler words, a plot twist takes place when there is an event that no one expected and that makes a 180 degree turn to what had happened previously.
In this case, it would be the fact that Sergei does not want to use his last wish because he does not want to let the goldfish go free.
