The sight was strange because it was impossible to harm Grendel, but at the same time the sight was wonderful because Grendel's death meant the people would have peace.

Although you haven't shown the text this question refers to, we can see from the context that it refers to "Beowulf."

"Beowulf" is the epic that tells the story of how the Anglo-Saxon hero, Beowulf, defeated the terrifying monster, Grendel. With the reading of this epic, we can say that:

  • Grendel was a terrible and bloodthirsty monster.
  • He was immune to any kind of weapon and his skin was impossible to cut.
  • This means that no one is able to defeat him or even hurt him.
  • But Beowulf, in addition to being strong and very strategic, managed to cut off Grendel's head.

As Grendel was impossible to harm, the sight of his severed head was very strange, as it seemed impossible to happen, but it was a wonderful thing, as the people would be free from his attacks and they would have peace.

Read the situation and then write sentences using the causative.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Using a causative sentence to describe the situation:

The boxer had his nose broken during a match.

or

The boxer got his nose broken during a match.

Explanation:

<u>The verbs "have" and "get" can be used as causative verbs. That means they can indicate that the subject of the sentence is not the one who performed the action.</u> Mostly, causative verbs are used when we wish to imply that we asked or paid someone else to do something for us. For example:<u> I had my house painted last summer.</u> --> I was not the one who painted the house. I paid someone to do it for me.

Having that in mind, we can take the situation in the question (the boxer whose nose broke during the match) and describe it with causative verbs in the following manner:

The boxer had his nose broken during a match.

or

The boxer got his nose broken during a match.

define euphemism and explain how it is related to connotative meaning. Give an example of a common euphemism.
jeka94
The term euphemism refers to polite, indirect expressions which replace words and phrases considered harsh and impolite or which suggest something unpleasant.

Euphemism is an idiomatic expression which loses its literal meanings and refers to something else in order to hide its unpleasantness. For example, “kick the bucket” is a euphemism that describes the death of a person. In addition, many organizations use the term “downsizing” for the distressing act of “firing” its employees.

1. It’s impossible to go out right now without seeing people in masks.

2. Although masks can be rather unpleasant, they really help everyone around me when in stores, schools, and almost everywhere else.

3. Having an interview online could be one of the most strange things to considering it’s the first time you’ve seen most people’s whole face.

4. Sometimes when people pull their masks down they disappoint me because they’re either not protected or they don’t look how i thought they would (LOL SORRY)

5. A lot of people disagree with some decisions on how many people should be allowed in certain establishments.

6. This will certainly be an unforgettable time of masks, quarantines, and utter chaos for us all.

really hope this is what you wanted !!
