<span>The word which is not derived from the Latin
preposition “ex” is:</span>
D. extraterrestrial
<span>
This is because when you pick out the prefix “ex”
from the word, the root word can still stand alone with its own meaning
considering its origin.</span>
A transitive verb has a direct object and usually, the subject is doing the action towards that object. The subject performs the action and the object receives the actions. So I believe D is the answer.
Your first option, "I have taken all the stress I can stand.", is a line of dialogue.
Dialogue is speaking/talking. The second and last options cannot be examples of dialogue because they are not being spoken (you can tell by the lack of quotation marks).The third option is also incorrect because it is what is written, as it says "the study reported" (the study does not speak). Therefore, the first option is correct.
The correct meaning of the word "forte" is, a person's strong suit.
Answer: Option B.
Explanation:
The line ‘Literary criticism is not your forte, my dear fellow. Don't try it. You should leave that to [other] people’ is a part of the play ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ written by Oscar Wild. When the speaker says, ‘Literary criticism is not your forte’ he means that you’re not good at criticizing, so just don't try it. Forte refers to a person’s strong suit or characteristics at which he/she is good at. In simple words, forte means a skill or talent of a person.
