With his great hands he had laid the foundations, burrowed out deep musty cellars in the earth, and sheeted the tall sides over

with smooth trowellings of warm brown plaster. He had very little money, but his strange house grew to the rich modelling of his fantasy: when he had finished he had something which leaned to the slope of his narrow uphill yard, something with a high embracing porch in front, and warm rooms where one stepped up and down to the tackings of his whim.

Reread lines 88-100 what transformation has taken place? What assumptions had you made about the characters that had to be chang
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

<h3>husband would turn into a beast like a werewolf because of the cursed bloodline in the family</h3>

Explanation:

The assumption about the change in the characters which I had made was that the <u>husband would turn into a beast like a werewolf because of the cursed bloodline in the family.</u>

Since no exact detail was given at the beginning of the story about what the husband would look like once changed, I <u>assumed that he would change into a pale beast with large body. </u>

The assumption was inferred upon through these lines "He was white all over then, like a worm’s skin. And he turned his face. It was changing while I  looked, it got flatter and flatter, the mouth flat and wide, and the teeth grinning flat and dull, and the  nose just a knob of flesh with nostril holes, and the ears gone, and the eyes gone blue — blue, with  white rims around the blue — staring at me out of that flat, soft, white face."

Based on what you know about travelogues and Marco Polo’s life, what is the best prediction for the purpose of Marco Polo’s writ
N76 [4]

Answer:

He wanted to inform readers about what he saw and learned on his journey.

Explanation:

Marco Polo was a traveler who traveled from Europe to Asia. At the age of seventeen, Marco left for the voyage to Asia. He is considered as the world's first travel writer. His travelogue contains the details of his journey and of what he saw on his voyage. The "Travels of Marco Polo" is the title of his travelogue. It was originally titled as "The Description of the World". The credibility of his travelogue is doubted as he wrote about such places that were never found to exist.

The purpose of Polo's writing travelogue was to inform his readers about the things and places he went and saw and things that he learned.

So, the correct answer is third option.
