Answer:

By referring to the driveway as "gravelled" rather than as a "gravel driveway", it means that the driveway was man-made, filled with gravel, and not originally made of gravel.

Explanation:

To first understand the use of "gravelled" instead of "gravel", we should refer to the two words separately.

First, "gravel" is a noun, referring to the fragments of rocks, loose pieces of rocks. On the other hand, "gravelled/graveled" is a verb referring to the act of covering an area with gravel.

Now, looking at the use of the word "gravelled" in the novel, the narrator describes the driveway of Judge Miller's Santa Clara Valley house. And in mentioning that the driveway was "gravelled", it means that the driveway was filled with gravel, a manmade driveway, covered by gravel.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:

The author's purpose is to do what?

1. explain the importance of Gothic architecture.

2. show how Venetian architecture is different from Gothic architecture.

3. describe Venetian architecture.

4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.

Answer:

The author's purpose is to:

4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.

Explanation:

The author states his purpose very clearly right at the beginning of the passage:

<u>"I will try to give the reader of this article some idea of the real history of Gothic architecture, not just of Venice, but of universal Gothic."</u>

The author will discuss the nature of Gothic architecture - what this style of architecture consists of. He makes it clear that he will not focus only on the Gothic of Venice. He will talk about it universally. He will indeed show how far Venetian architecture went in terms of this style, but this is not the main purpose of the study. Having that in mind, the best option is number 4:

4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.

Question 1 - Why do plants grow?

Everything on Earth has a purpose. A plant's purpose is to help produce oxygen, and help keep us, and other species around the world alive. All species work together to help keep Earth in balance in life cycles, these cycles all connect to each other!

Question 2 - How does a plant produce oxygen?

A plant produces oxygen by using a life cycle called photosynthesis. This life cycle starts with the plant, it absorbs energy from the sun, and turns it to its own sugar for energy. Using that energy to power the plant's chloroplast, it takes in carbon dioxide that we breath out, and comes out as oxygen all of this less than a few seconds.

Question 3 - What is in soil, that helps plants grow?

Soil has three main functions in a garden: to anchor plant roots, supply water and provide minerals. Plant roots take up nutrients and use them to grow and produce plants. The most fertile topsoil has a dark, rich color, indicating the presence of humus. Soil absorbs some of the rainwater that falls, holding it as a film surrounding each individual particle. A soil's water-holding capability varies by soil type, with heavy clay soils being the most water retentive and sandy soils being the most porous and draining quickly.

I hope this helps! I worked hard on it, sorry this is like a year late, but for all of you just looking it up now, here ya go! :)
