After his arrival in Britain, Hastings and his interests were largely ignored by the British businessmen. Through this hyperbolic remark by Hastings, Twain tells the reader that English society at the time was generally unsympathetic toward foreigners.
The literary device used in the excerpt and the short story is theme, option A. Epiphany, a figure of speech in literature, indicates a moment of sudden revelation. Mrs. Mallard, the protagonist of this piece of work, realises the fact that freedom, in a society where the concept for a woman is almost impossible, can be within her grasp. Seeing the death of her husband as an advantageous way of leading a new possible life can be considered no less than a crime. The theme of freedom is present, despite the tragic means that carry it.
Answer:
This is a declarative sentence.
Explanation:
Declarative sentences are those that aim to pass on information, expose something that has happened or is happening. This sentence can also be considered a comparative sentence, as it compares the emotion expected to be felt by the narrator and the emotion that the narrator actually felt in relation to the joke in the classroom.
The sentence also has a dependent clause "what was meant to be" that needs a complement to make sense and get a message across. This complement is the clause that is established immediately afterwards, ending the sentence.
Answer: 5.
After the right-handed twin chose a deer antler as a weapon, he overpowered his brother, and he threw him off the edge of the Earth.
A compound-complex sentence calls for a Dependent Clause (a clause that has a subject and verb but an introductory word - in this case "After"). Add to that it must also contain a conjunction joining two Independent Clauses (stands alone as a sentence containing a subject and verb).<span />
Answer:
A. The Bronx squirrels that eat nearly all of the trees' acorn in the New York Botanical Garden.
Explanation:
<em>The City Without Us </em>is a chapter of the book <em>The World Without Us</em> written by American journalist Alan Weisman. It tells about what would happen to the natural and built environment if humans suddenly disappeared.
<em>The City Without Us</em> gives us an image of what New York would look like without humans. Some of the details are presented in the options you were given.
It's expected that wild animals, wolves included, would enter the city if there were no humans. That's how nature works.
Money is a concept invented by the man, and it has no meaning if humans don't exist. It has nothing to do with nature.
The ocean is a large force and it's one of the obvious proofs of how powerful nature is. In the story, though, it has not yet broken the levees around New York City.
What remains are the squirrels. No one would think that squirrels could do something major. Without anyone or anything controlling their population, though, they could eat nearly every acorn in the New York Botanical Garden, thus preventing them from growing into new oaks. That way they would reduce the oak tree population in New York. They show that nature is even more powerful than it appears.
