My best guess is "It opened my eyes to the horrible pit, but to no ladder upon which to get out." Since it shows by use of metaphor how he feels the same way as if he were stuck in a pit with no means to escape it. It would be difficult to escape that pit, just as it is difficult to be in the condition he is.
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.
The correct answer is:
1. Colleges and Universities (4 year)
2. Community Colleges (2 year)
3. Carrier schools
4. International schools
<span>Squire
With him there was his son, a youthful squire,
A lover and a lusty bachelor,
With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press.
Some twenty years of age he was, I guess.
In stature he was of an average length,
Wondrously active, aye, and great of strength.
He'd ridden sometime with the cavalry
In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardy,
And borne him well within that little space
In hope to win thereby his lady's grace.
Prinked out he was, as if he were a mead,
All full of fresh-cut flowers white and red.
Singing he was, or fluting, all the day;
He was as fresh as is the month of May.
Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and wide.
Well could be sit on horse, and fairly ride.
He could make songs and words thereto indite,
Joust, and dance too, as well as sketch and write.
So hot he loved that, while night told her tale,
He slept no more than does a nightingale.
Courteous he, and humble, willing and able,
And carved before his father at the table.</span>
