English

Answer:

The Dursleys didn't have a direct conversation on this matter in the book. But when hagrid came to pick up Harry, and tells him about his parents then Harry mentions that the Dursleys have told him that his parents died in a car crash.

The reason I think they kept him in the dark is pretty obvious, that they hated the magic world, pretty much because of Petunia, as she was jeoulous that her sister (Harry's mother) was a witch and got admitted to Hogwarts and she didn't and they wanted to keep Harry away from that as they didn't want anymore of that "nonsense" and wanted to live a happy ordinary life.

They tell him his parents died in a car crash.
I think they told him this so that he wouldn’t know that him and his parents are wizards/witches.

What role does the capitalized pronoun serve in the following sentence?
Colt1911 [192]

The correct answer is - B. It is a possessive pronoun that takes the place of a noun.

Let's go through all of these options first.

A - there are no prepositions in this sentence, so 'yours' cannot be the object of a preposition.

C - the subject of this sentence is the pronoun 'I' because it is the doer of the action

D - it is not a personal pronoun; personal pronouns are I, you, he/she/it, we, you, and they.

Therefore, the correct answer is only B - it is a possessive pronoun because it shows that the pronoun 'you' is the owner of the skateboard that the subject likes more.

Is Odysseus power hungry? Explain please.
Ann [662]
Personally, I think this is an opinionated question, but no. Odysseus did what was best for the team behind him. He was smart, and he seemed to always know what to do. But he was not power hungry. He was humble. He used his gift of knowledge to help, not take over. Hope this helps. :)
