<h3>What is Narrator?</h3>

A narrator may be defined as an individual or personality who conveys a story, or a representative fashioned by an author to narrate a description.

The excerpt given below illustrates the situation of being enchanted with Venice and with a girl with a couple of black eyes that is recreating with his spirit. These are the absolute and authentic explanations for the narrator in Venice.

The complete question is as follows:

The romantic character of the place delighted me; I was very much amused by the air of adventure and intrigue that prevailed in this region of masks and gondolas; and I was exceedingly smitten by a pair of languishing black eyes, that played upon my heart from under an Italian mantle. So I persuaded myself that I was lingering in Venice to study men and manners. At least I persuaded my friends so, and that answered all my purpose.

What statement best describes the narrator in this excerpt?

Therefore, the correct option for this question is B, i.e. the narrator is not entirely truthful about his reasons for staying in Venice.

Find and correct the subject-verb agreement errors in this paragraph. There are ~10.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:Explanation:

The subject-verb agreement errors in the paragraph above are underlined and bolded below:

Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exist in every office, work should be simpler.

The main subject here referred to in the sentence is “a desktop computer”, which is singular. A singular verb should follow. EXISTS is the right singular verb to use.

However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale have resulted from our switch from paper to computers.

According to the rule of subject-verb agreement, when “neither…nor” is used, a singular verb is used. The correct verb to be used here would be HAS.

Indeed, each worker’s tasks has become more complex.

The subject “tasks” is in the plural form, and should attract a plural verb HAVE.

In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders was needed to complete a request for supplies.

The last listed noun that serves as the subject in the sentence here, “two purchase orders”, determines the verb form that should follow. So, the plural verb “WERE” should follow.

The process, including online confirmation, now require five separate documents.

“The process” is a singular, which should attract a singular verb, “REQUIRES”.

The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, are frustration and curses.

The main subject here is “the result”, which is singular should attract a singular verb “IS”.

Everyone, including the supervisors, are fed up with the extra work.

“Everyone” is the main subject here, and attracts a singular verb “IS”.

When our division implement a new computer system next month, I expect at least two of my co-workers to quit.

“Our division” is taken as a single unit in this sentence, and should attract a singular verb, “IMPLEMENTS”.

Fifteen hours of training are needed to learn the new system, and that is more time than any of us have to waste.

“fifteen hours of training” is used here as a single unit specifying time, and should attract the singular verb, “IS”.

Also, in the later part of the sentence, “any of us” should attract a singular verb “HAS”.

Below is the paragraph after correction of the several errors:

Most jobs now require computer skills, but the digital revolution has not improved our quality of life. Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exists in every office, work should be simpler. However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale has resulted from our switch from paper to computers. Indeed, each worker’s tasks have become more complex. In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders were needed to complete a request for supplies. The process, including online confirmation, now requires five separate documents. The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, is frustration and curses. Everyone, including the supervisors, is fed up with the extra work. When our division implements a new computer system next month, I expect at least two of my co-workers to quit. Fifteen hours of training is needed to learn the new system, and that is more time than any of us has to waste.

In Poe's story. Fortunato is:

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a secondary character

Explanation:

The question above is related to "The Cask of Amontillado," a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe.

The main character in this story is "Montressor" because the story centers on him. As a primary character, Montressor can be found in the story's many different scenes. He is the protagonist in the story.

On the other hand, "Fortunato," is the secondary character because he acts as Montressor's victim. Secondary characters are essential in the story because their existence complete the story. Without Fortunato, Montressor will have no victim. As a victim, Fortunato will be sympathized by the readers but not that much admired just like the main character.
