Answer:

<em>This question is regarding the interesting short stories written by H.G Wells. The name of this short story is </em><em>"The treasure in the forest".</em>

The author utilizes snakes as a means to make his two main characters less suspicion.

<u>He wants to make them feel at ease about killing a Chinese man and stealing his treasure map.</u>

Both of them are <u>professional treasure hunters</u>.

<em>These lines exclaim that a snake has killed the man. Even though they killed him and there was no real snake in the story.</em>

Describe the effects of anthropomorphism, the application of human traits to animals, in the dialogue between Sergei and the gol
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The anthropomorphism in this story leaves the tone of the narrative amusing, despite a tense moment that is happening.

Explanation:

The dialogue between the goldfish and Sergei happens when Sergei accidentally kills Yoni.

The narrated scene is tense and heavy, as Yoni collapses on the floor, amid a pool of blood after being hit on the head. However, the anthropomorphism presented by the goldfish in this scene, allows a certain relief in the story and leaves the moment with a slightly amusing tone. That's because the fish shows sarcastic thoughts and speeches, which promotes a comical and funny relief to such a serious moment.

revise this sentence by replacing all gerunds with infinitives. I keep telling people that i love dancing, writing, and to paint
larisa86 [58]
By definition, a gerund is a verb that ends with -ing.

With this in mind, we can see that "dancing" and "writing" are gerunds. If we need to change them into infinitives, then we need to know what infinitives are.

An infinitive is the basic for of a verb with the word "to" in front of it. If you look at the end of your sentence where you have "to paint," you have an example of an infinitive.

To change our two gerunds, we need to drop the -ing and make each for basic: "dance" and "write". Then, we just need to add the word "to" in front of it, making it "to dance" and "to write."

Thus, our sentence should now read "I keep telling people that I love to dance, to write, and to paint.

Lisa [10]
The sentence that uses a subjective pronoun correctly is the first one - Laura and I have written an original play for this year's festival.
The second sentence is incorrect because the word him is not subjective, and neither is her in the third sentence, or them in the last one.
