Answer:

"The Man He Killed" was written by the British Victorian poet and novelist Thomas Hardy, and first published in 1902. A dramatic monologue, the poem's speaker recounts having to kill a man in war with whom he had found himself "face to face." Talking casually throughout, the speaker discusses how this man could easily have been his friend, someone he might have, under different circumstances, had a drink with in an "ancient inn." Struggling to find a good reason for shooting the man, the speaker says it was "just so"—it was just what happens during war. The poem thus highlights the senselessness and wasteful tragedy of human conflict, and is specifically thought to have been inspired by the events of the Boer War in South Africa. Effect of war is the major theme of this poem. The poem is about the soldier killing another man because they are fighting on opposite fronts in the war. Ironically, the speaker fails to justify his action. He simply states that the deceased was his foe.

laiz [17]

Answer:

To create suspense, writers must reveal details gradually so readers want more.

Explanation:

Lee Child's "A Simple Way to Create Suspense" is an essay where he narrates or rather expressed his take on creating suspense in his works. The essay provides his approach to making a suspenseful work rather than directly approaching the climax in a story.

In the given paragraph from the end of his essay, he states that there are numerous ways to make work interesting. He agrees that "Attractive and sympathetic characters re nice to have; and elaborate and sinister entanglements are satisfying .... [added with] impossible-to-escape pits of despair". But all these are "luxuries" which provide not enough thrill. Rather, he opines that "the slow unveiling of the final answer" is the basic narrative fuel of any work.

Thus, the central idea of the passage is that writers must reveal details slowly and gradually so that the readers will want more, creating a suspenseful environment.

2 Write the past form of the verbs in exercise 1

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Exercise 2:

just add 'ed' : pushed and baked

take off the 'e' + 'ed' double the last letter: clapped

Exercise 3:

just add 'ed': played

take off the 'e' + 'ed' double the last letter: stopped

Explanation:

When we form regular verbs in Past Simple, we normally add the termination 'ed' to their infinitive form.

e.g. played, lived, baked, pushed, etc.

However, there are some cases when we must apply some changes to the base of the verb, in order to obtain an adequate past simple form. If a verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant before adding -ed.

e.g. clapped, stopped, planned, etc.
