In comparing both words, it can be observed that they have
similarities and differences. The similarities are that both words start with
the letter ‘f’. Also both words have a letter that is repeated; ‘e’ for fifteen
and ‘t’ for flatter. Both words have 2 kinds of vowels; ‘i’ and ‘e’ for fifteen
and ‘a’ and ‘e’ for flatter. Both words also have 7 letters. The main
difference between the two is the meaning. Another difference is the words end
differently; ‘n’ for fifteen and ‘r’ for flatter.
The tone of the Wife, as she narrates the knight's wedding, is conversational and directly addresses to the readers. This kind of tone helps readers to connect more deeply to the text and understand the narration in a better way. Pacing technique is also employed in the narrative. In some sections between the narrative, we can also notice an enthusiastic and exuberant tone in the voice of the Wife.
Moreover, this direct approach in the narration is balanced with a certain chronology for engaging the readers’ mind and connects it with the flow of the actions taking place in the plot. Here, Chaucer uses iambic pentameter and, at instances, breaks this motion for utilizing the effect of drama in the tale.
Answer: Change "mortifying" to "mortified"
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Read the sentence.
Abashed by the harsh criticism, the mortifying writer decided to rewrite the beginning of the book.
What is the best way to revise the sentence?
A. Change "Abashed" to "Abashing"
B. Change "mortifying" to "mortified"
C. Change "to rewrite" to "rewriting"
D. Change "beginning" to "began"
From the question, we can see that the use of tenses are incorrect. The use of "mortifying" is wrong, the past tense of mortify which is " mortified" is the right word to use.
When the -ing form is used as noun, it modifies the verb, but in this case, the past tense should have been used.
B would be your answer. Have a great rest of your day! :)
