The structure change that is apparent in this passage from "Death of a Moth" by Virginia Woolf is switch from present tense to past tense.
"Death of a Moth" is an essay written by Virginia Woolf that focuses on the idea that life is a constant struggle, even though people know that death is inevitable. In this excerpt from the essay, the speaker switches from present tense to past tense. <u>While Simple Present Tense is used in the first sentence ("they are (...)"), Simple Past Tense is used in the second one ("seemed to be (...)")</u>.
Answer:
“waited again on the flat rock”
“the sun was beginning to sink”
Explanation:
The correct answer is "waited again on the flat rock" and "the sun was beginning to sink" because when the time and location are given in a narrative, it is said to be the setting. It is in setting the story's tone. A setting includes information about the time and place in the narrative. So, both phrases help us to picture the surrounding from the passage "By the Waters of Babylon.”
Your question is missing the options that would allow us to answer properly. After looking it up online, I found these two similar questions. They phrase the sentence just a bit differently, but the message is the same. The options vary, but the correct option is the same for both:
Glen had __________ opportunities to show how __________ he was for being rude to me, but he never even apologized.
brazen...pragmatic
<u>ample...contrite</u>
ostentatious...callous
enigmatic...congenial
Despite having __________ opportunities to show how __________ he felt for being rude to me, Glen never apologized.
perfidious … stoic
deliberate … eloquent
irrevocable … morose
<u>
ample … contrite</u>
Answer:
Glen never demonstrated to me that he was <u>contrite</u> for having been so rude, though he did have <u>ample</u> opportunities to do so.
Explanation:
It is common for a person who has been rude or has done something wrong to feel remorse, guilt, or regret after doing so. In this case, Glen was rude, he felt remorse about it, but he never apologized even though he had plenty of opportunities to do it. The best words to complete the sentence are, therefore, contrite and ample. Contrite means remorseful, full of regret, while ample means enough, plenty, abundant with something.

The revision which would most improve sentence 7 is the one that follows:
Suggest an alternative plan to replace the current school calendar. Explain why it is outdated and inefficient. Express an opinion about those who oppose changing it. Restate the strongest piece of evidence used to support the claim.
Comments: The paragraph above contains instructions for a school assignment or something like that. Since there were instructions, it was necessary to change the verbs from "ing" form to imperative (used to give orders, commands,instructions). Punctuation had to be changed as well: a few pauses were added, and that was done with periods (.). In order to make it less repetitive, it was the right choice to replace "the current school calendar" with the pronoun "it" (third person singular) from the second time we talked about "the current school calendar" on.
