Explanation:
Answer: D. standard English
Explanation:
Standard English is used in formal settings, such as is literature like the excerpt presented in this question, as opposed to non-standard English which is used in informal settings, with family and friends.
Although Standard English began as a regional dialect that emerged in the southeast of England, is now considered the official form to be used in writing, in the education system, court texts, the church, newspapers, and any official writing, and it can be used with different regional accents or without any regional diction.
We know that the excerpt is no using a southern dialect because there are no words like "ain’t" and "y’all", which are common for that dialect.
Answer:
A. If it were not for them being alone in the cab with time to spare, the stories main plot would not be resolved.
Explanation:
O. Henry's short story "Mammon and the Archer," tells the story of a rich man and his life of money and how he helped save his son's life. The story follows a young man trying to get his love and how his father had secretly helped save him from all that stress and 'sickness' of being love-struck.
The setting in the cab is the main point of the whole story, the deciding factor for the plot's resolution. So, if it were not for the two lovers being alone in the cab, then there would have been no time to spare which will lead Miss Lantry to be with her mother and not Richard. Also, it was the delayed act with the cab scene that helped the plot's resolution, or else the resolution may have turned into something different.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
"My teacher hath shewn the class how to divide fractions."
"Doing my chores without being asked hath shewn that I can be responsible."
The phrase "hath shewn" isn't one that we typically hear in conversations or see in writing anymore, right? <em />In the passage above, "hath" is a conjugation of the verb "to have" that is not used anymore. For <em>I, we, </em>and <em>ye "</em>they have" would be used. For <em>thou<u /> </em>(now we use "they"), the word <em>"</em>hast"<em> </em>would be used. When using the conjugation for <em>he, she, </em>or <em>it, </em>the word "hath" was used. <em>Shewn</em> is a former spelling of the word "shown" that we use today. <em />If Jefferson were to write this passage incorrect contemporary English, instead of "hath shewn", he would write "has shown".
