Answer:

refer answer explanation

Explanation:

word that characteristically is the grammatical center of a predicate and expresses an act, occurrence, or mode of being, that in various languages is inflected for agreement with the subject, for tense, for voice, for mood, or for aspect, and that typically has rather full descriptive meaning and characterizing quality but is sometimes nearly devoid of these especially when used as an auxiliary or linking verb

Verbs are words that show an action (sing), occurrence (develop), or state of being (exist). Almost every sentence requires a verb. The basic form of a verb is known as its infinitive. The forms call, love, break, and go are all infinitives.

Almost all verbs have two other important forms called participles. Participles are forms that are used to create several verb tenses (forms that are used to show when an action happened); they can also be used as adjectives. The present participle always ends in -ing: calling, loving, breaking, going. (There is also a kind of noun, called a gerund, that is identical in form to the present participle form of a verb.) The past participle usually ends in -ed, but many past participles have irregular endings: called, loved, broken, gone.

The verb's past tense usually has the same -ed form as the past participle. For many verbs, however, the past tense is irregular. An irregular past tense is not always identical to an irregular past participle: called, loved, broke, went.

The two main kinds of verbs, transitive verbs and intransitive verbs, are discussed at the entries for transitive and intransitive.

The authors purpose for writing this was to discuss of the different Apollo programs, the type of missions they had and what they did.

The author emphasizes on what the Apollo missions were about and how long they were. The author emphasized on these details to show that the moon landing came in steps and didn’t just happen on the first day.

The methods the author used was dates and they helped by showing us how long the missions took.

The authors point of view is in third person, this point of view affects the meaning of the text by showing that the author did not have first hand experience about the Apollo missions. This makes the text more informative as for the author to know these exact details they would need to do extension research.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

<h2>SOPHOCLES</h2><h2>Translation by F. Storr, BA</h2><h2>Formerly Scholar of Trinity College,</h2><h2>Cambridge</h2><h2>From the Loeb Library Edition</h2><h2>Originally published</h2><h2>by</h2><h2>Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA</h2><h2>and</h2><h2>William</h2><h2>Heinemann Ltd, London</h2><h2>First published in 1912</h2><h2>Argument</h2>

Explanation:

Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, the late king of Thebes, in defiance of

Creon who rules in his stead, resolves to bury her brother Polyneices,

slain in his attack on Thebes. She is caught in the act by Creon's

watchmen and brought before the king. She justifies her action, asserting

that she was bound to obey the eternal laws of right and wrong in spite of

any human ordinance. Creon, unrelenting, condemns her to be immured in a

rock-hewn chamber. His son Haemon, to whom Antigone is betrothed, pleads

in vain for her life and threatens to die with her. Warned by the seer

Teiresias Creon repents him and hurries to release Antigone from her rocky

prison. But he is too late: he finds lying side by side Antigone who had

hanged herself and Haemon who also has perished by his own hand. Returning

to the palace he sees within the dead body of his queen who on learning of

her son's death has stabbed herself to the heart.
