Option 2: A Before passing out the test, the teacher asked students to close their books.

<u>Before passing out the test</u> is the prepositional phrase.

A prepositional phrase has the following basic characteristics: usually begins with a preposition and ends with a noun, pronoun or gerund, functions as a unified part of speech, doesn't have a verb nor a subject.

Before is a preposition

Passing out the test is a gerund, which means that it acts as a noun in the sentence, and at the same time is the "object" of the proposition.

The whole phrase is a unified part of speech and doesn't have any verb nor subject.

When looking for comparisons, you are looking for metaphors or similes. For example, “The sun is a hot bowl of lava.” That is a metaphor. The sun is being compared to lava. OR The sun is as hot as a bowl of lava. That is a simile.

There can also be direct comparisons such as: Susan’s work of Art mirrors that of da Vinci. So as you read, look

for examples such as these. Then you need to ask how this shows us a specific point of view. Are the comparisons done in a positive light or no?

Ira Lisetskai [31]
I believe the correct answer is: He adopts the life of a pirate, becoming rich by stealing from others. 
     In this excerpt from “The Story of Frithiof the Bold” written by William Morris, the life in exile make Frithiof, a great hero, adopt to the life of a pirate, becoming rich by stealing from others, after the incident in the temple of Balder:
     “So Frithiof became an exile, and the wanderer on the face of earth. For many years he lived the life of a pirate or Viking, exacting tribute from other ships or sacking them if they would not pay the tribute.”

Answer:

You can infer that traditions are very important, since they stop fighting for such an important matter in order to send away their mother in the proper way of their culture.

It is also very interesting to see how they respect and protect the tree that, it seems, holds the essence of their loved ones in many ways.

It also seems that crop is just as important to their culture as family is.
