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.

2. In a famous passage, Zhuangzi uses the example of dreaming to illustrate how knowledge depends on one's perspective. Briefly
joja [24]

For Zhuangzi, knowledge is relative to the perspectives we have of reality at the moment. This means that we will never know for sure whether what we know at the moment is real or not. It depends on our perspective. He explains this by showing how one day he dreamed that he was a butterfly, at the moment the dream is happening, his knowledge was limited to the butterfly's perspective, when he woke up, he realized that that perspective was not real, because now he had knowledge with his own perspective, however he could not confirm if they were real too, because he could be a butterfly, dreaming that he was a man, at that moment.

With that, Zhuangzi makes a connection with the myth of Plato's cave, showing that our perceptions and the feelings we feel about the environment in which we are inserted are not enough to make us sure of anything.

In considering the trail scene most of the trail scene is suspenseful and it was the scene that people have been waiting for so long. The mood is very suspenseful and tensed about the testimony of the crime scene. When the trail continues for a long time it is very difficult to maintain the suspenseful mood.

They are in the edge of Heck Tate and Mayella testimony and finally it was Toms. The response of Tom in the court room was full of humor and it brought a sense of humor among the readers
