Pitifully
The word 'pitifully' in this excerpt is significant because it tells the reader the narrator's feelings towards the girl getting married. Without that word, there would not be the same level of insight or emotion into the narrator's thoughts. the word 'pitiful' has a negative connotation, if you are feeling pity for someone it means you do not think they should be in the situation they are in and wish you could help get them out of it. This tells the reader that the narrator feels the bride is far too young to be getting married and maybe it's something out of her control or that she is being forced into.
Answer:
C. foreboding
Explanation:
the words paint a picture of a desolate place and sadness. it's almost foreboding. I did this last year and this is what my class came up with.
Amount of profit made by the company in the second quarter = $4 million
Let us assume the amount of profit made in the first quarter = x
Also let us assume the amount of profit made in the third quarter = y
Amount of profit made by the company in the first quarter was 1/3 less than that made in the second quarter
Then
Amount of profit made in first quarter
3x = 4 million dollars
x = 4/3 million dollars
Amount of profit made in the third quarter
4y/5 = 4 million dollars
4y = 5 * 4 million dollars
4y = 20 million dollars
y = 5 million dollars
Then total amount of profit made in the three quarters = (4/3) + 4 + 5 million dollars
= (4 + 12 + 15)/3 million dollars
= (31/3) million dollars
= 10 1/3 million dollars
So the total profit made during the three quarters was 10 1/3 million dollars.
Courageous and determined
The lines are explaining how even though our hearts are beating, they are beating us all the way to the grave. The heart beat is compared to the rhythm of a funeral march with everyone stepping in time. The lines are showing hearts are beating courageously and with determination all the way to the person's death, which is inevitable.
Further angered, Unferth declares that either he or Grendel will die that night in the cave. Grendel, however, says that he plans to carry Unferth back to the meadhall unscathed. Unferth swears he would rather kill himself, but Grendel points out that such an action would appear rather cowardly.
