Answer:
The purpose of this excerpt is to show how utopians were willing to defeat their enemies.
Explanation:
The narrator of the story shows how the utopians had a passion for fighting and how they were determined to achieve great achievements since it promotes the defeat of their enemies. This passion was what motivated them to fight and that is why they seemed so frightening. We can see this through the lines "their keenness in carrying it on being supported by their strength in maintaining it, it not only shook some very flourishing states and very much afflicted other."
Exclamatory is the correct answer
Answer:
Verb.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the italicized word is "wound" which can be taken in two ways. One is a noun that refers to a physical injury while the second is a verb that means to inflict pain or hurt to a person.
But in the sentence, the word is used to refer to the act of tying in a spiral pattern. This act of tying is an action verb, thereby making it a verb. The word "wound" as used in the sentence is the past tense form of the verb "wind".
So, the correct answer is a verb.
