This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
All of the following are parallel in structure with “crying over the loss of my boyfriend” except __________.
A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon
B) texting all of my girl friends
C) eating all the ice cream in the freezer
D) listening to my collection of sad music
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon.
Explanation:
If you pay attention, all the options, including the example, contain verbs ending in<em> ing.
</em>
Option A does not have the same structure, therefore that is the option that does not fit with the rest.
Words ending in <em>ing </em>can be the following: gerunds, verbal nouns, present participles. In the case of the example we have the ending <em>ing</em> used as a gerund, where the verb is used as if it were a noun.
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
Answer:
People face death many ways, if they are in a life or death situation, they might run (if they are quite young as maybe they were taught that as an extinct) or fight (a way of their persoanaliity quickly giving a reaction). People when they see dead bodies and cuts, wounds might all see it differently, maybe some people are desensitised and dont mind seeing bad images and that would mean they wouldnt mind, some people might cry as it sometimes is emotional as people over think of how theyre actually gone. Time would obviously affect people as older people tend to care less and younger children would also kind of not care or care as one thing, they dont understand or they feel bad. 9sorry for the mistakes i wanted to write a lot)
Explanation:
An example of a question you should ask yourself is -Did the speaker present a clear opinion on the topic.
1. The purpose of the line "<span>In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match..." is to imply the main idea of the article. The statement that we can easily kindle fire today implies that there was a time when it wasn't so easy. That is why people had to figure out a way to kindle a fire without looking for a natural source. All of this supports the article's main idea, that match was a brilliant invention, which we shouldn't take for granted.
2. This line shows the need for matches. People had troubles with finding the fire, but it got even harder because any fire can easily get extinguished. This proves there was an urgent need to find a way to kindle fire without having to resort to nature at all times. The line doesn't show how dependable nature is - on the contrary, it shows that humans had to find a way to not depend on it. It doesn't show how people got the fire, or how long it took to make matches.
3. The correct answer is thesaurus. It is not an encyclopedia or an ordinary dictionary, but a dictionary of synonyms, that is words with similar meanings. It also contains antonyms (words with opposite meanings) and words with related meanings. When we don't know what a word means, we use a dictionary or an encyclopedia (or Wikipedia, for that matter). However, when we know its meaning, but are looking for a more appropriate word, we use a thesaurus.</span>
