Answer:

"Son of Laertes! much-experienced man!

The suitor-train thy earliest care demand,

Of that luxurious race to rid the land;

Three years thy house their lawless rule has seen,

And proud addresses to the matchless queen.

But she thy absence mourns from day to day,

And inly bleeds, and silent wastes away;

Elusive of the bridal hour, she gives

Fond hopes to all, and all with hopes deceives."

Explanation:

In these lines, Odysseus is informed of Penelope's behaviour. We learn that a huge line of suitors is waiting for Penelope to chose a new husband, and that this requires Odysseus's attention. His land has no king, and his wife no husband. Nevertheless, she still mourns his absence constantly, and while she gives hope to men, this hope is false. Therefore, the passage illustrates the theme of deception.

Question 1–4: For each sentence, identify its type (declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory).
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The answers are:

1. Declarative sentence

2. Interrogative sentence

3. Imperative sentence

4. Exclamatory sentence

5. Compound sentence structure

6. Simple sentence structure

7. Compound sentence structure

8. Complex sentence structure

Explanation:

1. This is a declarative sentence. A declarative sentence is used to give information. The information given is that the person in question took the dog to the vet.

2. This is an interrogative sentence. Identified by a question mark, it is used to ask questions as shown in the example above.

3. This is an imperative sentence. An imperative sentence is used in issuing an order or command. As shown in the example, "come with us"

4. This is an Exclamatory sentence. Exclamatory sentence is used to convey feelings and emotion. It is usually identified by the presence of an exclamation mark.

5. Contains a compound sentence structure. A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or a conjunction.

In no. 5 above "I understood why he wanted to be there" is an independent clause joined to another independent clause "I certainly couldn’t be upset at him" by the use of "and".

6. This is a simple sentence structure. A simple sentence has a subject, verb, even other parts of speech but most importantly can form a complete thought by itself. The example given expresses a complete thought.

7. This is a compound sentence.

It contains two independent clauses separated by "but".

8. This is a complex sentence. A complex sentence has a dependent and independent clause present in it. An independent clause contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought while a dependent clause also contains a subject and verb but doesn't express a complete thought.

The dependent clause here is "If John is able to come with us" while the independent clause is "we can probably make the trip in less than one day."

They are separated by a comma.

The people separated good-humoredly to let her through: two or three people said, in voices just loud enough to be heard across
7nadin3 [17]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

Read this excerpt from "The Lottery":

The people separated good-humoredly to let her through: two or three people said, in voices just loud enough to be heard across the crowd, "here comes your missus, hutchinson," and "bill, she made it after all." mrs. hutchinson reached her husband, and mr. summers, who had been waiting, said cheerfully, "thought we were going to have to get on without you, tessie." mrs. hutchinson said grinning, "wouldn't have me leave m'dishes in the sink, now, would you, joe? " and soft laughter ran through the crowd as the people stirred back into position after mrs. hutchinson's arrival.

Which line from the excerpt contains irony?

a. “bill, she made it after all.”

b.“thought we were going to have to get on without you, tessie.”

c. “wouldn’t have me leave m’dishes in the sink, now, would you, joe? ”

d. “here comes your missus, hutchinson.”

Answer: b.“thought we were going to have to get on without you, tessie.”

Explanation:

At first sight, none of the choices provided seem to hold any irony. It´s only after finishing Shirley Jackson´s short story that we learn that the lottery´s purpose is to select a neighbor to be killed. Since it´s Tessie who gets chosen, Mr. Summers´ comment becomes ironic as well as a foreshadowing element in the story.
