Answer:

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

Presupposition is what is assumed by a speaker to be the case before to making an utterance.

We can also say that, a presupposition constitutes a necessary assumption that is required to understand the meaning of a sentence.

Combine these sentences by turning one of them into a phrase.
vichka [17]

Answer:

The right way to combine the sentences by turning them into a phrase is the following one:

(D)Icy winds, which blow across Antarctica throughout the year, make the continent seem even colder.

Explanation:

If we want a phrase, all we need is a subject and a predicate. Therefore, by adding the relative pronoun "which" referring to the icy winds we form a more concise phrase with a subject (Icy winds,...) and a predicate (...which blow across Antarctica throughout the year, make the continent seem even colder).  It is clear that all that appears after the subject refers to it and its acts, that is, it is said in the phrase that icy winds do two things:

1- they blow across Antarctica throughout the year.

2- they make the continent (Antarctica) seem even colder.

Reread lines 43 – 58. How has the narrator’s relationship with her husband changed? Support you answer with explicit textual evi
frutty [35]
I don't know which edition you're referring to. I suppose the lines 43-58 are actually the third paragraph. So, here's the answer:

The narrator's relationship with her husband has changed because of a supernatural influence that she can't exactly explain or fathom. She doesn't really know what happened, when, or why, but at night her husband was not the same person she married. "It’s the moon’s fault, and the blood. It was in his father’s blood," she reasons. Her husband is alienated because of this, and somehow she feels that they don't belong together anymore. He goes out to find those who are like him. "Something comes over the one that’s got the curse in his blood, they say, and he gets up because he can’t sleep, and goes out into the glaring sun, and goes off all alone — drawn to find those like him."
