Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The Pirate Captain was eating a pineapple.

Tense: Past Continuous Tense

Structure: Simple sentence

2. We went to the cinema last week.

Tense: Past indefinite tense

Structure: Simple sentence

3. Yesterday at 9 o'clock, he was sitting in front of his computer.

Tense: Past continuous tense

Structure: simple sentence.

4. The Girl Pirate steered out of the way just in time.

Tense: Past indefinite tense

Structure: Simple sentence

5. My brother has been eating apples.

Tense: Present perfect continuous tense.

Structure: simple sentence.

Explanation:

The first sentence is written in the past continuous tense as the use of 'was + V1 + ing' denotes that specific action was taking place in the past. It is a simple sentence as there is only a subject that is being discussed.

The next sentence employs past indefinite tense which is reflected by the use of 'V2' to signify that the action occurred at a specific time in the past. It is also a simple sentence as there is just one clause.

The third sentence uses 'past continuous tense' as it denotes that the action was in progress at a specific time in the past. It follows a simple sentence structure despite the comma after the introductory phrase as a single subject is being discussed here.

The fourth sentence uses 'past indefinite tense' as it involves V2 i.e. 'steered' to denote a past action. It involves a simple sentence structure as the single subject is followed by the predicate.

The last sentence is framed in the present perfect continuous tense which is reflected by the use of 'has been + V1 + ing' to denote that the particular action began in past and is in progress now. It also follows a simple sentence structure as the only subject 'My brother' is being talked about here.

SOME CHALLENGES I FACED WHEN LEARNING TO RIDE A BICYCLE.

Learning how to ride a bicycle at a much older age of twenty two was quite a challenge. I never showed interest in riding a bicycle when I was much younger but subsequently as I grew older and became more active in athletics and fitness, I had to take an interest into cycling.

The first day I tried riding the bicycle, I lost my balance and fell. I had to go at it for more than two hours before I could be confident enough to ride it on the road.

I also noticed that after riding for that day, my legs were sore and I had to take care of my stiff leg muscles so they could recover on time and heal.

By the next time I rode on the bicycle, I was more comfortable. Next, I was doing bicycle tricks, believing I was a BMX champion.

Are my answers correct for this?

Answers

Answer:

when you're communicating, you talk differently with various people because humans adapt and change the way we speak to those people. If we treated our co-workers and employer or spoke with them in a casual way then we'll lose the job. If we talked more professionally then our employer would think good things about us and we would keep our job. whereas if we talked professionally with our friends then they wouldn't want to be our friends.

Whats the tone of this poem and example of it?

Answers

Answer:

Sassoon begins the poem with an angry tone. The speaker describes how Sassoon has changed from sweet to angry:

    You’ve heard me, scornful, harsh, and discontented,  

         Mocking and loathing War: you’ve asked me why  

    Of my old, silly sweetness I’ve repented—  

         My ecstasies changed to an ugly cry.  

As the poem progresses, Sassoon shifts to why he was hopeful when he first started out as a military officer:

    You are aware that once I sought the Grail,  

         Riding in armour bright, serene and strong;  

    And it was told that through my infant wail  

         There rose immortal semblances of song.

Sassoon ends the poem with a tone of being content that he has changed in this process:

    But now I’ve said good-bye to Galahad,  

         And am no more the knight of dreams and show:  

    For lust and senseless hatred make me glad,  

         And my killed friends are with me where I go.  

    Wound for red wound I burn to smite their wrongs;  

         And there is absolution in my songs.

Analyzing Character, Theme, and Plot in Short Stories How do characters and plot develop theme in a story?

Answers

Answer:

The characters and the plot plays a vital role in developing theme in a story.

Explanation:

In literature, a character is any person or inanimate object or animal. A story is made up of several characters such as protagonist, antagonist, dynamic character and so on. The characters of a story play a vital role in development of theme. Each character contributes to the development of theme in unique way.

For instance, in the short story The Ugly Duckling, the character of swans contributed in the theme when the ugly duckling came out to be a beautiful swan. The theme of appearance was developed by these characaters.

The plot is a series of event that takes place in a story. A plot helps to build the storyline. As the plot begins to unfold, it contributes to the theme of the story.

For instance, in the novel Pride and Prejudice, the theme of love was developed as the plot begins to unfold and characters begin to love and marry.

Answer:

The question is incomplete.

I will explain the concept of Field Intelligence

Explanation:

The capacity to think coherently and take care of issues in novel circumstances, autonomous of acquired information is Fluid Intelligence.

Fluid intelligence mirrors a person's ability for unique idea and thinking and it stands out from alleged "crystallized intelligence", which relies upon past information and instructive accomplishment. Without a doubt, field intelligence is pertinent to the way of examining novel issues, recognizing examples and connections that support these issues and utilizing sensible extrapolation.

Several tests have been proposed to measure this important process but the Raven Progressive Matrices (RPM) is the most widely-used task. Raven Progressive Matrices RPM is a psychometric non-verbal multiple choice test that evaluates the global index of intelligence. This index is traditionally inferred from a general factor of the underlying intelligence quotient (IQ) known as the g factor. Although the Raven Progressive Matrices RPM presents some caveats related to the fact that it is an extended and general measure, i.e., different processes seem to influence the Raven Progressive Matrices RPM score, specifically, perceptual processing and analytic or analogical reasoning, those criticisms are expected for any general static cognitive measure.

1. Most Submarines are created solely for military purposes

Submarines according to the text, are created primarily for warfare with their main weapons being torpedoes that are like mini self-propelled submarines carrying an explosive charge.

2. Submarines either rise or submerge by displacing water.

Submarines use the Archimedes principle which works by displacing water that weighs more than the boat to rise.

3. Some submarines are used for Oceanic Exploration

Some or at least 1 at that moment being the Argonaut was built for oceanic exploration and is equipped with diving appliances and equipment to enable it save wreckage.

4. All submarines must be sure not to descend too far underwater.

Every submarine has a limit in terms of the depth it can submerge to and it should not go beyond this point. Water bodies have their pressure in them as sink deeper and if the submarines go beyond the point where the submarine can no longer withstand the pressure it will be battered.

In complete sentences, explain the following: Is 700 a good estimate for the sum of 435 and 368? If it is, explain why it is a good estimate. If it is not, explain why it is a bad estimate.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf It \ is \ not \ a \ good \ estimate}[/tex]

Explanation:

700 is not a good estimate for the sum of 435 and 368.

Round the numbers to nearest hundreds.

[tex]435 \approx 400[/tex]

[tex]368 \approx 400[/tex]

Let’s add the estimated numbers.

[tex]400+400=800[/tex]

800 is a good estimate for the sum of 435 and 368.

Answer:

700 is not at all a good estimate for the sum of 435 and 368.

Explanation:

435 + 368 = 803

Round off each of the no.s

435 ≈ 400 (nearest hundreds)

368 ≈ 400 (nearest hundreds)

So,

400+400 = 800

Also, 803 ≈ 800 and not 700

So,

700 is not at all a good estimate for the sum of 435 and 368.

A. Setting & the Lottery: Describe the town's lottery process (see p.1-2).

Answers

"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson, first published in the June 26, 1948, issue of The New Yorker.

The story describes a fictional small town in contemporary America, which observes an annual rite known as "the lottery", in which a member of the community is selected by chance to be stoned to death. It is implied in the story that the lottery is practiced to ensure the community's continued well being.

Readers' initial negative response surprised both Jackson and The New Yorker: subscriptions were cancelled, and much hate mail was received throughout the summer of its first publication, while the Union of South Africa banned the story.

The story has been dramatized several times and subjected to much sociological and literary analysis, and has been described as one of the most famous short stories in the history of American literature.[4]

Answers

Answer: Last week a very drunk man got into a bus and sat near a skinny girl. She looked at him with contempt and told him that he was very drunk and that it was quite distinguished. She asked him what would his mom and dad feel when he arrived home like that. He asked If her husband slept with a dry stick, or what.

Explanation: Reported speech takes a dialogue said by a specific person, and changes it to its past form, to report the information to the listener. When the girl talks to the man, she uses simple present and future, therefore, the reported speech changes the tenses to simple past and would: "She told him that he was very drunk and that it was quite distinguished. She asked him what would his mom and dad feel when he arrived home like that." Then, the man responded with simple present, so it changes to simple past: "He asked If her husband slept with a dry stick, or what."
