Answer:

Well, I can't quite determine if you mean for this to be a trick question or if you are serious.

I say that because technically speaking, A and C show future tense, while B and D show past tense.

Of all the options, A is the best one to represent the present tense. While it certainly can represent the present tense, it does a much better job at representing the future tense. Yes, really. Let me give you some other examples so you'll see what I mean.....

Explanation:

Today, I'm leaving for Paris on the 4:00 p.m. flight. = future tense

Today, the army is sending me to boot camp. = future tense

.......................

I should add....

If you were to say: "Today, I'm babysitting my nephew." --- and you said it at the moment that you are in the house next to your nephew -- then, THAT would be present tense.

In this example, we're talking about an action that is happening at the moment of speaking unlike option A above which refers to an action that hasn't happened yet.

Explain how u can use surrounding words to figure out the meaning of exhilarating

Bond [772]

You can look at the words in front and behind it, because they refer to this big word. You may find a synonym of the word or a close reference. So for example in this sentence: I was excited and ambitious to learn about cars today. So this is a easy example. You can use exited to define ambitious if you dont know what ambitious means.

How was the weather when Smaug the dragon was dying in the Hobbit?

tatiyna

Explanation:

those poor Esgaroth people. Assuming Erebor is mainly composed of Volcanic igneous rock, I'm guessing that Smaug's fire is cooler than 1200 degC, since he didn't melt the tunnel the Dwarves were hiding in. Most minerals that comprise igneous rock begin to become molten before temperatures reach ~1200 degC.

A. Because B doesn't need "...", C shouldn't have "-" and it should have a "," after Lupita, and D shouldn't have "..." either.

Answer:

memory lane is a place full of wonders and joy but also memory lane can be a place of terror and nightmares. My memory lane is a swirl of joy and pain. The nostalgic past brings a sense of compassion and feeling. My memories are often filled with joyous and and heart warming thoughts of mind.

Memory lane can also be an ordeal. The vicious thoughts that ravage through my mind don't stop bothering me. But we all have to understand that our memories make our future. We reflect and seek upon our past, present, and future. We move forward and make a change, but not look back and make a mark. Memory lane is often a whimsical yet gruesome land.
