Explanation:
Hello cousin,
Something terrible happened to my family and I. My family and I were on a boat, having a good time together when a huge storm hit. Everybody was freaking out, I was so overwhelmed and shocked. I didn't know what would happen to us. There was a bunch of water in the boat, and everyone was soaked. After the storm calmed down we all made it back to the coast unhurt. I am so thankful that nobody was hurt, I hope you're doing well too. We had towels in the car so we all could get some water off. Afterwards, when we were coming back to the house, everybody was so shocked nobody talked. When we got home, nothing really happened. Thankfully everybody is okay, they are just a little scared. I don't think we are ever going to get on a boat again. Don't worry about us, please email me back as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Your cousin
(I hope this helps)
1# In the second paragraph, children put stones in their pockets and make piles of stones in the town square, which seems like children playing around until the stones’ true purpose becomes clear at the end of the story.
2# Irony is the basic theme used in the story. Outside was expressed as "a sunny day", but eventually the housewife came across a horrible death (page 715). Two people running the town, Graves and Summers have ironic names.
#3 The lesson learned is there is a danger of going along with tradition
Unlike most woodpeckers Alabama's state bird the yellowhammer
woodpecker doesn't have the strength to drill into most trees so it
usually searches for food along the ground
I looked this question up and found out that the underlined phrase should be "was attending". The answer choices for this question are the following:
A. noun clause
B. verb phrase
C. adjectival phrase
D. adverbial clause
Answer:
The underlined phrase is a:
B. verb phrase
Explanation:
A verb phrase consists of a main verb or of a main verb and the auxiliary or modal verbs that accompany it. Take a look at the examples below:
- Joshua sang beautifully last night. --> verb phrase is "sang"
- Eileen has gone to Ireland. --> verb phrase is "has gone"
Thus, we can easily see that "was attending" is also a verb phrase. The main verb is "attending" and the auxiliary is "was".
