I have found this question online. it concerns context clues and the word "pinnacle"

Answer:

In the sentence provided, to guess the meaning of "pinnacle", we used a synonym.

Explanation:

Context clues are used to help us guess the meaning of new words in a text. There are different kinds of context clues, the most common being synonyms, antonyms, or direct definitions.

A synonym is a word that has the same meaning as another word. When authors suppose their readers might not know the meaning of a certain word, they may provide a synonym to help them understand the new word. That is precisely what happens in "The hikers guessed that it would take 3 full days to reach the pinnacle or top of the mountain." The word "pinnacle" is not so commonly used, so readers might not know what it means. The author then places a synonym right after it, "top", to make sure readers understand it.

What is the difference between a monologue and a soliloquy? A soliloquy is spoken while alone on stage. A monologue is spoken in
Andrej [43]

Answer:

A). A soliloquy is spoken while alone on stage.

Explanation:

As per the question, the key difference between a soliloquy and a monologue is that 'a soliloquy is spoken by a character to himself/herself while he/she is alone on stage' while a monologue is a conversational speech that is made by an individual to the audience directly.

However, both the devices are employed by the authors to reveal the thoughts, feelings, or opinions of the character to the audience but soliloquy on the one hand is regardless of the audience or speakers('Hamlet's talking to himself alone as 'to be or not to be' which reveal his thoughts aloud) and usually more precise while monologue on the other hand is a lengthy and tedious speech made by one character in the middle of a conversation to the audience deliberately which may or may not reveal the actual thoughts. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

What type of sentence is "my brother cut the grass on saturday"
Savatey [412]

My brother cut the grass on Saturday.

It is a simple sentence since it contains a subject (<em>My brother</em>) and a verb (<em>cut)</em>. It also has a direct object (<em>the grass</em>) and a prepositional phrase of time (<em>on Saturday</em>). It is important to state that a sentence must have a complete idea and stands on its own. That's why this type of sentence is called independent clause.
