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.

Read the subjects and determine whether each is too broad or sufficiently
elixir [45]

Answer and Explanation:

When choosing a subject to research and write about, we must be careful not to come up and stick to a topic that is too broad. If a topic is too broad, it allows for many subtopics to be derived from it, which means the research and the essay/speech will be all over the place. A narrower topic, on the other hand, will speak on a specific subject completely, without jumping from it to another. With that in mind, we can safely classify the following subjects in either "too broad" or "sufficiently narrowed" for a 500 to 800 word essay.

1. The Hawaiian Islands  - Too broad. What about them? Their size? Their culture? Their people? Tourism?

2. The process of voting by caucus in primary elections  - Sufficiently narrowed.

3. Lifestyle of women in rural Greece  - Sufficiently narrowed.

4. Vacations in South America  - Too broad. South America has several countries. Will we speak of each of them? Plus, what about the vacations? Their price? The best time to go? How long one should stay?

5. The health benefits of cottage cheese  - Sufficiently narrowed.

6. Breakfast foods - Too broad. What about them? Which ones are more delicious? Which ones are the healthiest?
