Answer:

C. Character.

Explanation:

The short story of "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty tells the story of a Republican sniper in a war of bullets against an enemy sniper who later turns out to be his own brother.

The excerpt in the question is from the initial paragraph of the story which gives a detailed description of the Republican sniper, our protagonist. The details such as "<em>the face of a student, thin and ascetic, but his eyes had the cold gleam of the fanatic</em>" or "<em>eyes of a man who is used to looking at death</em>" gave the shape of the character. We also know about his profession with the inclusion of the detail "<em>rifle and over his shoulders was slung a pair of field glasses</em>". All these details of the second paragraph of the short story gave us the character of the sniper.

I think it would be (C. Character) because notice how this exert is only describing a character.

Questions 10–16: In the following sentences, identify the antecedent for each pronoun.
liubo4ka [24]
First of all, you need to understand what antecedents and pronouns are, and what the relationship between the two is. A pronoun is a word used to replace the noun in front of it. An antecedent is that particular noun in front of the pronoun, to which the pronoun refers. Thus, here are my answers:

<span>10. William asked for his coffee to be brought to the conference room. 
The pronoun here is the word HIS, and given that it refers to William (it is William's coffee after all), it means that the antecedent here is WILLIAM

</span><span>11. The music was so loud that it hurt our ears. 
The pronoun here is the word OUR, however, there is no antecedent in this sentence; it is implied that the antecedent is WE (however it is not stated directly in the sentence itself)

</span><span>12. Thomas and Christine forgot to bring their umbrellas to work. 
The pronoun here is the word THEIR, and given that it refers to Thomas and Christine (those are their umbrellas after all), it means that the antecedents here are THOMAS AND CHRISTINE

</span><span>13. Since Grandma Helen was ten years old, she had been writing letters. 
The pronoun here is the word SHE, and given that this particular pronoun was used to replace the noun Grandma Helen, it means that the antecedent is GRANDMA HELEN

</span><span>14. The rain pounded on the roof and it leaked through the cracks. 
Here, the pronoun is the word IT, and given that it refers to the rain (it was used to replace the word rain in the latter part of the sentence), it means that the antecedent is RAIN

</span><span>15. His messenger bag was so full that Randy could not fit another file in it. 
Although there are two pronouns here (his and it), we cannot choose his as the correct answer as it does not have an antecedent (remember that antecedents are in front of the pronoun, and here Randy is located after it). This means that the pronoun we will use is IT, and its antecedent is HIS MESSENGER BAG

</span>16. Mr. Cooper told his students that they were responsible for their grades.There are couple of answers here, given that there are a couple of pronouns to choose from. The first pronoun and its antecedent are HIS (pronoun) and MR. COOPER (its antecedent). Then we have the pronouns THEY and THEIR along with their antecedent HIS STUDENTS.

In at least 150 words, explain the controversy that continues to surround The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Nikolay [14]
The controversy that surrounds the novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is particularly due to the fact that schools and libraries across the US have been drawn into debates about censorship context included int the novel , the regional dialects and the stereotypes of African American lives shown in the novel. Mark Twain included words in this novel, that has been previously noted as offensive, to properly pro tray the southern lifestyle and these words included have therefore helped to cause the controversy over it. These terms, if not understood as an element of realism, can be inappropriate or disturbing for young readers to have read. Characters in the novel also follow stereotypes of the African American lifestyle that can be seen as an insult if the reader doesn't understand the author's intention of displaying those stereotypes. Twain uses satire in the novel to show the social injustices of the 1900's and if the reader doesn't understand the intentions of the author by including it, it can be seen as highly offensive, and inappropriate, causing a spark of controversy.

How does the story "Prince Louie" show the influence of the biblical story of Samson? In both stories, a strong hero loses his s
puteri [66]

Answer:

In both stories, a strong hero loses his strength through the treachery of his wife, who is an enemy spy.

Explanation:

In the biblical story of Samson,his mother is instructed by God at his birth never to shave a hair from his head and he would have super strength to achieve what mere men could not achieve.

True to the words of God, Samson grew up having great strength because his hair was never shaved. He fell in love and married Delilah a Philistine who was sent to spy on him and discover the secret of his great strength so he can be subdued. Samson tells her his secret and he is subdued by his enemies.

In the story <em>Prince Louie, </em>when Louie was only just a child, his mother tells him that soon he would become King Louis of Forbush and she gave him a ring and asked him to wear it at all times and he would succeed in his royal duties.

Just as his mother said, he grew up to become a successful king, banishing his enemies and the kingdom having peace. He fell in love and married Anabellla of Gnarltree who unknown to him was a spy sent to find out the secret of his power. King Louis told her his secret was the ring and sge got the ring off and his kingdom was invaded.
