Jerry was a connoisseur who collected rare coins.

In this sentence, connoisseur is being used as a noun. "Jerry was a [...]" can not be followed by an adjective when used this way. Jerry was a red, Jerry was a stupid, Jerry was a grumpy. These are all followed by different adjectives and do not make grammatical sense. Connoisseur may also not be a verb because these following would not make much sense either: Jerry was a running, Jerry was a took, Jerry was a walking, Jerry was a jumped.

The actual meaning of a connoisseur is a person who has good sense or judgement. A critic when it comes to tastes in things like art, etc. Without knowing this definition, however, the above were ways you could figure something like this out next time.

Sometimes in English, a verb is used as a noun. When the verb form is altered and it serves the same function as a noun in the sentence, it is called a gerund.

Have I achieved success? Why or Why not? answer in one paragraph

Anna007 [38]

The easy part of your response is to assert confidently that you do consider yourself a success. Make sure you look the recruiter in the eye and sell the statement with a confident tone, but without bragging. The more challenging task, however, is to back up your assertion. It's important to provide the interviewer with evidence of how you achieved success in the workplace.

Provide one or two examples of times when you have set and met a professional goal. Briefly explain how you achieved each success – perhaps you overcame an obstacle, effectively managed a team, or budgeted your time effectively. The goal is to demonstrate your determination and willingness to take on challenges and achieve results.

You might also mention successes you hope to achieve in the future or are currently working to achieve. For example, if you mention your successful sales record, you may also want to explain how you hope to improve upon that success in the future. It will demonstrate that you are hungry for new challenges in the new position.

Based on the things Orwell has predicted in the story, which elements do you believe have already either begun to happen or have

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Okay, you didnt specify which Orwell story, but I'm assuming 1984

Explanation:

- the constant government surveillance all characters in 1984 are under is not that far from the way people will document their lives on social media for all to see. also, the Patriot Act and similar post-911 laws in the US make government surveillance a very real thing in all citizens' lives

- the personified idea of Big Brother is something that exists, to a lesser extent, in the form of world leaders such as Trump, Bolsanaro, etc., who have built "cults of personality" around themselves. in those cases, criticizing policies or the government is the same as a personal attack on said politicians' very humanity

- the government tortures its prisoners with their greatest fear (ie rats). in other words, they find out a person's weak spot and then exploit it for their own gain. advertisers literally do the commercialized version of that very thing nowadays: they monitor someones online activities to determine their interests, then use that information to target ads and try to sell them things
