One day a large parcel came for the emperor; outside was written the word 'Nightingale.' 'Here we have another new book about th

is celebrated bird,' said the emperor. But it was no book; it was a little work of art in a box, an artificial nightingale, exactly like the living one, but it was studded all over with diamonds, rubies and sapphires. When the bird was wound up it could sing one of the songs the real one sang, and it wagged its tail, which glittered with silver and gold. 9. What is the meaning of “wound” in this passage?

Answer:

a) turn to activate

Explanation:

We can infer the meaning of the word from the context of this excerpt.

So, the emperor received a parcel containing a mechanical bird. After windidng the bird up, it could sing and move. This means the bird was activated in some kind of way.

Winding up something is a way of activating a toy, a clock or a mechanical device by turning the handle.

Notice that this verb is written in passive voice and in past tense "wind up - wound up".

"Wound" can also mean an injury, as a noun. This means that these two words are heteronyms; they are spelled the same, but have different meanings and are pronounced differently.

When the sun and moon are near the horizon, we notice that they are distorted from a circular form into ovals, and are usually o
Neko [114]

The correct answer to this question is: TRUE.

The section written in all caps is a <em>conclusion</em> of the previous explanation, therefore, <em>it expresses the main idea in the text</em>. A conclusion consists of a recapitulation of the introduction, which usually expresses the main idea in a text. The first sentence wrote, "When the sun and moon are near the horizon, we notice that they are distorted from a circular form into ovals, and are usually of a reddish color" tells the reader what is the main information or idea the writer is trying to convey. All that follows is an explanation of the reasons why that phenomenon happens. In the end, the section written in all caps resumes the introduction and adds a summary of the information given. Thus, this section can be considered an example of the main idea presented in the beginning.

How would you expand the quote "creature of my guilt."​
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Guilt is aversive and—like shame, embarrassment, or pride—has been described as a self-conscious emotion, involving reflection on oneself. People may feel guilt for a variety of reasons, including acts they have committed (or think that they committed), a failure to do something they should have done, or thoughts that they think are morally wrong.

Why does English use so many words from so many languages?
nataly862011 [7]

English has other words from other languages because it comes from Latin. Latin is a dead language but still lives on in most European languages today, which is what most people speak from Colonization, and their native words also mixed in with Europeans, like how Avacado is actually from the First Nation language Nahuatl from Mexico. The word Barbecue is also from South America (Arawakan), and how the phrase "mumbo jumbo" comes from the west African god Maamajomboo.

Hope this helps. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Valentines Day and Black History Month! :-)

Did Benvolio tell Romeo that Juliet is dead?
wariber [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

.1: Benvolio tries to stop a fight in the streets, but ends up taking part in it. Afterwards, he talks to Romeo's parents, and promises to find out why Romeo has been acting depressed. He meets up with Romeo, who tells him the problem is that he's in love with a girl who isn't interested in him.

1.2: In hopes of helping Romeo get over Rosaline, (the recipient of Romeo's unrequited love), Benvolio convinces Romeo to crash the Capulet party. They'll compare Rosaline to the other women there and will see that she's not all that.

1.4: He chills with Romeo and Mercutio

1.5: Benvolio has fun at the Capulet party, then tries to drag Romeo away once it's clear that the party's breaking up. Romeo, smitten with Juliet, refuses to leave.

2.1: Benvolio and Mercutio try to figure out where Romeo disappeared to. They soon give up and head home.

2.4: The next day Benvolio and Mercutio still don't know where Romeo is. They know that Tybalt has challenged their friend to a duel. Benvolio says he is sure Romeo will uphold his honor and fight Tybalt. When the Nurse shows up, Benvolio joins Romeo and Mercutio in the general mockery of this poor woman.

3.1: As usual, Benvolio tries to avoid fighting with the Capulets, but gets drawn in anyway. When Tybalt strolls in, Benvolio tries to get everybody to calm down. He tells Mercutio and Tybalt either to chill or to continue their argument in private. As usual, nobody listens. Benvolio witnesses Tybalt and Mercutio's duel, and he is with Mercutio when he dies. Then he watches Romeo and Tybalt fight. When Tybalt dies, Benvolio tells Romeo he has to run away or the Prince will put him to death. When the Prince arrives at the scene of the slaughter, Benvolio explains what has happened.
