Answer:
Aristophanes of Byzantium
Explanation:
Answer: The noun phrases are "These three days", "their efforts to wipe away" and "Each decoration", while the verb phrases are "have been celebrating" and "are considered".
Explanation: A noun phrase is a group of words that includes a noun, which acts as the head. The noun is modified by other word classes, such as adjectives or determiners. For instance, <u>"these three days", "their efforts to wipe away" and "each decoration" are all noun phrases because they have nouns as their heads</u> ("days", "efforts" and "decoration" respectively). The nouns in these phrases have been premodified and postmodified. In contrast, a verb phrase contains an auxiliary verb and a main verb. For example,<u> in "have been celebrating" and "are considered", "celebrating" and "considered" are the main verbs. </u>
Answer:
B
Explanation:
It really depends on what was underlined. There are two possibilities.
- I think that not a single peace loving State could decline a peace treaty with a neighboring State even though the latter was headed by such fiends and cannibals as Hitler and Ribbentrop.
- Non-aggression pacts are pacts of peace between two States. It was such a pact that Germany proposed to us in 1939.
The first one is irony of the highest order. Though Stalin was correct in his assessment of Hitler and Ribbentrop, he didn't include himself (who may have been the worst of the three), in his description.
The second one is just a definition of what a non-aggression pact was.
I would pick B. The real problem is what is underlined. B is the truth. It was actually Hitler's plan to invade Russia long before it happened. Not only that, he was so confident of victory that he did not order his textile industry to make protective clothing when he did invade Russia. He thought it would be over in Russia long before such clothing was needed.
