The answer is "Anne and Jack had had a chat on Skype".

Explanation:

To describe what somebody else said we can resort to direct or indirect speech.

When using direct speech<u>,</u> we just repeat the message with the exact words. For example, Mary said: "I bought an umbrella".

Instead, when using indirect or reported speech, we tell the message without quotation marks. For example, Mary said she had bought an umbrella.

In this case, we ad the auxiliary verb "had" because the original sentence is in the past, and to retell it, we have to move one step back.

Answer:

<u>The popular literary work - The Great Gatsby </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>ESSAY WORK</u>

Interestingly, in this story the narrator Nick tries to describe the characters Tom, Gatsby and Daisy to readers from his own perspective. This was evident in the use of the word 'I' as Nick describes events.

However, Nick seems to be unreliable because at a point in time in his narration he said, "I am one of the few honest people I ever know". This statement creates a feeling of doubt about his narration to the reader.

The whole interpretation of the story is affected by his constant bias between the characters; speaking favourably to one character- Gatsby over the others. Thus he portrays Gatsby as <em>the leading icon,</em> which influences how the reader sees Gatsby.

Which two lines in this excerpt from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet? FRIAR LAUREN
Ivahew [28]

The two lines in the above excerpt from Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” which foreshadows the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet are:  

“These violent delights have violent ends”

“Then love-devouring death do what he dare;”

The fate of Romeo and Juliet had a tragic ending because of the rivalry among the families. They became the victim of the rivalry which they have never been a part of. Misunderstandings, miscommunications and bad luck bring a tragic feel to the play. The audience feels pity for the couple who sacrificed their lives for true love. The scene in which both the lovers take their lives is the most tragic scene of the play.

To be able to make a surprising ending in a story is the writer will twist the story by tricking the reader.

The first twist starts when an open room is found and there is a corpse inside. The initial search for the killer failed, and around occurred when two men appeared, separately as the killer. The concise chain of events ends with the revelation that the killer becomes the slave of the investigator himself.
