<span>The question is asking us to re-write the sentence "Mustafa is an excellent long-distance runner, and the race was won by him last weekend. " The options are the following: 1) Mustafa is an excellent long-distance runner, and the race had been won by him last weekend. - there is no need for the past perfect, as the first sentence is in a present tense 2) Mustafa is an excellent long-distance runner, and he won the race last weekend. - this is the best option, there is no problem with it; 3)Mustafa is an excellent long-distance runner, and he win the race last weekend. i - this is grammatically wrong as we need a past tense in the last part; 4) Mustafa is an excellent long-distance runner, and the race was win by him last weekend - this is also wrong as you would have to say "was won"</span>
The answer that best supports my understanding of the denotative meaning of a word is the last option - the denotative meaning of a word involves the actual, dictionary definition of a word.
The other options refer to the connotative, and not denotative meaning of a word.
The Poet uses litotes as a literary technique in the sentence That [sword] was not useless to the warrior now from Beowulf.
Litotes is a technique that communicates in a positive message through a negative structure, we can see in the sentence the use of was not, but the general meaning is a positive one saying that the sword was in fact really useful.
The other options are not correct because those techniques make reference to sounds and metrics or use of a combination of words no the general meaning of a sentence.
<span>A. Technological advancement
is a side effect of military efforts to win wars. </span>
<span>In the passage “How the
Internet and Other Technologies Came About,” readers are presented with the rationale
for the development of the internet, virtual reality, and GPS. A type of communications web (or net) was developed, broken down into
pieces across the nation, so communication could remain intact should a nuclear
war destroy one component (or geographic location). Flight simulators were developed in order to
help train pilots to fly in conditions brought about by nuclear war. Guidance satellites were developed in order to
guide missiles to targets. All of these
advancements were a side effect of military efforts to win wars—the communications
web became the internet, flight simulators became virtual reality, and guidance
satellites developed into GPS.</span>
There are two types of adjective clauses: Restrictive and Nonrestrictive adjective clause. A nonrestrictive adjective clause consists of words within the sentence that can be omitted, but not changing or affecting the meaning of the sentence. These clauses are usually separated by a pair of commas. On the other hand, restrictive clause is the opposite.
In the options given, the sentence that contains a nonrestrictive adjective clause is: The sandwich, which had been prepared hours earlier, was soggy and unappetizing.
