This question is incomplete. According to a different source, this is the complete question:
<em>Identify the pronouns in the biography by typing possessive, subjective, objective, intensive, or reflexive next to each pronoun.</em>
Ambrose Bierce was a journalist. Many of his (possessive) newspaper columns focused on corruption, fraud, and people Bierce didn't like. Bierce had a biting wit, so people did not want to find themselves (reflective) the subject of one of his (possessive) columns. However, he (subjective) also had a very serious side to his writing. In fact, Bierce was disappointed with the war reporting of his (possessive) day, so he basically said, "I will do it myself (intensive) !" At the age of 71, he (subjective) rode alongside Pancho Villa's army as he (subjective) waged revolution across Mexico.
This is the best way to identify the pronouns found in this passage. In English, a pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. A noun is a word that is used to identify a thing or a set of things (living creatures, objects, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas). Pronouns are often used in order to avoid repeating a noun used previously.
Answer:
It shows that the speaker is cordial and has good manners
Explanation:
The sentence belongs to the story " Hearts and Hands", so the speaker is Mr. Easton. Mr Easton's hand is handcuffed with another man's hand. Both of them are traveling by train and on it, they come across Mis Fairchild. Mis Fairchild is an old acquientance of Mr Easton's ; she gets really surprised when she sees him handcuffed. It is then that Mr Easton greets her and says :"I'll ask you to excuse the other hand; it's otherwise engaged just at present." In fact, the man wants to pretend he is not a prisoner, when he truly is.
I believe the correct answer is B. <span>The narrator does not trust what Agnes tells her.
This is a gothic element because there's obviously a great mystery in the house, that is being hidden from the newcomer. Furthermore, her predecessor has died, and the reason is unclear. In Wharton's time and before, servants, maids, and other members of the lower social classes were to come to the rich mansions and do their duty without inquiring or showing any kind of inquisitiveness, even when the issue concerns them very much. Agnes, as a loyal servant, partakes in this secrecy, and won't admit to the speaker that something strange is happening.</span>
