Answer: The underlined words that match with their correct contextual meanings are:

Squatted -----> to crouch or sit with bent knees

Soothing ---- > to have a calming effect

Rearing ---> to get up or raise oneself

Scoured ---> to search or peer at thoroughly to locate something

Explanation: "The Open Boat" is a short story written by Stephen Crane and published in 1897. Moreover, the text focuses on a real-life experience of the author. "Squatted", "soothing", "rearing" and "scoured" are all words that appear in this story. "Squatted" is the past participle of the verb "squat", which means to sit with one's knees bent, and "soothing" is an adjective used to refer to something that makes someone feel calmer and more relaxed. "Rearing" is the present participle of "rear", which means to rise up, while "scoured" is the past form of the verb "scour", whose meaning is to search a place or a thing in a very careful way.

As we rode in the bus in the weird phosphorescent void of the Lincoln Tunnel we leaned on each other with fingers waving and yelled and talked excitedly, and I was beginning to get the bug like Dean. He was simply a youth tremendously excited with life, and though he was a con-man, he was only conning because he wanted so much to live and to get involved with people who would otherwise pay no attention to him. What does this excerpt demonstrate about the culture of the beat generation? I would say the answer is"Beat artists most desired direct and varied life experiences" based on the behaviour of the beat artist mentioned above.

Choose the correct end punctuation for this sentence: "Haltingly, she asked him if he would go to prom with her"

Leto [7]

Answer:

The correct option is her?"

Explanation:

The reason for the correct option:

The given sentence is a question, therefore the end punctuation will be question mark. And the sentence is in quotation mark because it was spoken by someone else. Hence, in an interrogative sentence the quotation mark will come after the punctuation.

Reason for incorrect options:

Options: her." and her".

The sentence is a question being asked, which cannot end with fullstop or point; therefore these options are incorrect.

Option: her"?

The punctuation mark that is question mark is correct, but the quotation mark will come after the question mark therefore this option is incorrect.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi went to England for higher studies at the age of 19. His mother was apprehensive about young men going astray in western society. But her fears were allayed when Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not to touch meat, wine and women. He faced a lot of difficulties due to his vegetarianism.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we should use the Past Simple, as the whole story refers to the past. Therefore, we should use verbs like went, was, faced, etc...

The construction go for something means try to achieve a goal, in this case, he tried to finish his higher studies.

e.g. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi went to England for higher studies at the age of 19.

The construction to be afraid/worried/apprehensive about + V+ -ing contains the verb with -ing at the end, as a part of this construction, so, in this case, we should change the verb form from go to going.

e.g. . His mother was apprehensive about young men going astray in western society.

But her fears were allayed when Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not to touch meat, wine and women.

In this sentence, we should use when instead of that, because when acts as a conjunction meaning at the time that.

We use the construction not to when we want to emphasize the absence of some action; in this case, that he will not touch meat, wine and women.

The construction a lot of refers to a large number or amount of things (in this case difficulties).

He faced a lot of difficulties due to his vegetarianism.
