Read the dialogue given below and complete the paragraph that follows

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The blanks in the paragraph can be filled by using indirect narration of son and father's direct speeches.

Explanation:

Father asked his son (a) where he was going. The son replied (b) that he was going to his friend’s house. The father further questioned (c) if he had completed his homework. The son said that he would do it when (d) he would come back. The father disapproved of the son’s way to answer.

We have to make some changes in the reporting (outside inverted commas) and reported speech (inside the inverted commas).

For the purpose of simplicity, let's learn about rules relevant to only this task (paragraph).

Part A

i) Since the reported speech (inside inverted commas) is a question, we use asked instead of said.

ii) Since the person (subject) in the reported speech is second person (you) it will be changed according to object in the reporting speech (son). Hence you is changed to he.

iii) Since tense of the reported speech is past (we assume it so from the rest of the paragraph, and it usually is past indefinite), we will change the tense (present continuous) of the reported part and make it past (continuous) tense. (are going to was going).

iv) Since the statement is no more interrogative, question mark (?) at the end is replaced by full stop (.).

Part B:

i) Since the reported speech (inside inverted commas) is a reply to a question, we change said to replied.

ii) Since the person (subject) in the reported speech is first person (I) it will be changed according to subject in the reporting speech (son). Hence I is changed to he.

iii) Since tense of the reporting speech is past, we will change the tense (present continuous) of the reported part and make it past (continuous) tense. (am going to was going).

Part C:

i) Since the reported speech (inside inverted commas) is a Yes/No question, we use if/whether before the subject of reported speech in indirect speech.

ii) Since the person (subject) in the reported speech is second person (you) it will be changed according to object in the reporting speech (son). Hence you is changed to he.

iii) Since tense of the reporting speech is past, we will change the tense present perfect of the reported part and make it past perfect) tense. (have done to had done).

iv) Since the statement is no more interrogative, question mark (?) at the end is replaced by full stop (.).

Part D:

i) Since the person (subject) in the reported speech is first person (I) it will be changed according to subject in the reporting speech (son). Hence I is changed to he.

iii) Since tense of the reporting speech is past, we change will to would in reported speech.

Some common rules for changing persons/pronouns of reported speech when changing direct speech into indirect speech are;

Change first person of reported speech according to Subject or reporting speech.

Change second person of reported speech according to Object of reporting speech.

No change in third person of reported speech.

Here we get an acronym SON (first person according to Subject, second person according to Object, No change for third person).

Serjik [45]

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about the short story "The Most Dangerous Game," by Richard Connell (1893-1949), an American writer and journalist. In the story, the main characters are Rainsford and General Zaroff, two very skilled hunters. Rainsford falls from a yacht and ends up on Zaroff's island, where he is hunted by the general.

The setting changes after Rainsford sees lights in the distance. What is the new setting?

After falling from the yacht and swimming to the island, Rainsford walks for a while. At first, all he can see are rocks and a dense jungle. After some time, he sees lights in the distance. The setting changes, the new setting being Zaroff's mansion.

What details are provided about the it?

The narrator describes the place as being incredibly large - so large that Rainsford thinks it is a village at first. Word choice conveys the grandiosity of the house: "enormous building", "lofty structure", "pointed towers". The narrator is comparing Zaroff's house to a castle, a palace.

How does Rainsford feel about this place?

The place is so astonishing that Rainsford thinks it is a mirage. Nonetheless, he walks up to it and knocks at the door.
