What is C.tense and uncomfortable for 400
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
The author's purpose is to do what?
1. explain the importance of Gothic architecture.
2. show how Venetian architecture is different from Gothic architecture.
3. describe Venetian architecture.
4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.
Answer:
The author's purpose is to:
4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.
Explanation:
The author states his purpose very clearly right at the beginning of the passage:
<u>"I will try to give the reader of this article some idea of the real history of Gothic architecture, not just of Venice, but of universal Gothic."</u>
The author will discuss the nature of Gothic architecture - what this style of architecture consists of. He makes it clear that he will not focus only on the Gothic of Venice. He will talk about it universally. He will indeed show how far Venetian architecture went in terms of this style, but this is not the main purpose of the study. Having that in mind, the best option is number 4:
4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.
This passage reads like a script for stage or film.
The medium that would best interpret this passage would be film.
1) Camera focus in on Mrs Peters' eyes slowly turn to meet Mrs Hale's eyes.
2) Mrs Hales' eyes moving to spot the hidden box.
3) Sound of a knob turning with camera showing closeup of knob turning
Panning in & out on eyes and knob is best achieved through use of a camera in film.
And honoured everywhere for worthiness; At Alexandria, he, when it was won - <em>Knight</em>. Knight is a siginificant character in the book. He has many qualities, but four of the them is emphasized in the book. He is worthy for this name because of the good qualities.
Of courtliness, and stately manners took; And would be held worthy of reverence - <em>Prioress</em>. Prioress tries hard to seem courtly.
In wisps hung down such locks as he'd on head; But as to hood, for sport of it, he'd none - <em>Pardoner</em>. Pardoner sells official church pardons and the lines is a reference to this act.
A lover and a lusty bachelor, With lock well curled, as if they'd laid in press - <em>Squire</em>. Squire is a young, handsome man as described in the lines who accompanies the Knight in his adventures.
It would look like Modern would be the participle.
Because Modern modifies what the Essay is, Essay is the word modified.
I'm pretty sure this is right, since no other word in the sentence seems to modify anything.
