Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County," and answer the quest

ion that follows.
Smiley ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'klated to edercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.

edercate

Answer:

Explanation:

flat footed is OK. If you are flat footed (no arch), the army will classify you as 4F.

Whirling: airplane propellers whirl. This a common enough word

Punch: means a drink or being hit.

The word that is a dialect is edercate. It appears nowhere that I know of. It is used in this excerpt to mean educate.

What does the character Dr.Faustus suggest about the idea of the Renaissance Man???
sattari [20]

So, Dr. Faustus is an embodiment of curiosity gone wild. His blase attitude towards humanistic science is, however, some kind of a scientific decadence: he casts away philosophy and law, to embrace magic, as a relic of medieval obsession over mysticism. In this regard, he is a subversion of the Renaissance Man. He thinks he has already learned all there was to learn about this world, so now he yearns for another kind of knowledge - esoteric, otherworldly, knowledge that isn't exactly a knowledge because you don't have to study long and hard for it, you just have to sell your soul to Lucifer.

13) Will you come with me to my child's play? In which of the choices below is the above sentence rewritten in the conditional m
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

A conditional mood is a request or in condition of something happening in the future; it uses auxiliary verbs.

It is not A because it is a demand and a statement.

It is not B becaus it is a demand.

It is not C because C is in condition of something that has <u>already</u> happened in the past.

It is D because it is a request.

This suggests a possibilty, whether it is through a request (requests can be denied or accepted) or scenario in which things are suggested to alter the future, even if it can't be changed.
