Explanation:
Seyton!—I’m sick at heart when I see—Seyton, come here!—This battle will either secure my reign forever or else topple me from the throne. I have lived long enough. The course of my life is beginning to wither and fall away, like a yellowing leaf in autumn. The things that should go along with old age, like honor, love, obedience, and loyal friends, I cannot hope to have. Instead, I have passionate but quietly whispered curses, people who honor me with their words but not in their hearts, and lingering life, which my heart would gladly end, though I can’t bring myself to do it. Seyton! 《 this is a modern version of the given text》
Answer: His arms muscles work in pairs so that one contracts while the other relaxes as he climbs up.
Explanation: when we exercise one muscle, there is usually another muscle that isn't the target of the exercise but it helps us maintain the form by doing the opposite movement. For example, when we do a bicep curl, the muscle that we are working is the biceps, and it contracts, but at the same time, the triceps relaxes, this is called antagonist muscles. The same thing happens when a rock climber climbs up the rock wall, the biceps contract as he pulls up and the triceps relax at the same time.
Shrink or shrunk this is simply because it is one of the better synonyms also knowing that dwindling means shrink makes you smart :P
