Which elements keep you most interested in a fictional book? Check any that apply.

Kazeer [188]

Well, it depends on the genre of that non-fictional book. For instance, a mystery book would make the audience interested if there was an unsolved mystery included, but an adventure book, for instance, might hook the reader if it was actually based on historical events and something like the book described had actually happened. Therefore, for a fictional book, I would say all of these interest me depending on the type of book.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

B. Direct Object

A direct object receives the action of a transitive verb. Thus, the infinitive verb to swing is undergoes the action of the verb began.

The rest of the options are incorrect. In the sentence given, to swing does not function as a main verb. Besides, a predicate noun or nominative follows the verb to be and gives information about the subject. Finally, the infinitive verb does not follow a preposition.

Select the correct answer. Upon what source did John Bunyan model his writing style in The Pilgrim's Progress?

Licemer1 [7]

The source that modeled John Bunyan's writing style in The Pilgrim's Progress was a. the English Bible.

The Pilgrim's Progress (1678) is considered to be a Christian allegory. Besides being a writer, John Bunyan was also a Puritan preacher and that is why his works were all highly influenced by religion. In The Pilgrim's Progress all the characters of the story have names that are considerably significant, such as Christian, Evangelist and Goodwill. The Pilgrim's Progress, narrated by an omniscient narrator, tells the story of Christian's journey from his hometown, the "City of Destruction," to the "Celestial City", which represents Heaven. Furthermore, during his journey, Christian carries a book that is thought to be the Bible. Bunyan’s selection of words, the use of direct and indirect quotations from The Bible and the name of places such as the Palace Beautiful and the wall called Salvation also show the influence of the sacred text in the book. In addition, Bunyan resorts to a simple and colloquial but energetic language that has also been taken from the Bible.

I used to think that there could be a superior symbol for the country. A statue just didn't seem to cut it. Although I wasn't the biggest fan, I never climbed the statue, but I saw various others do it. I was tempted but I decided to just watch and observe. I wondered what they all say about America. I pondered how climbing the statue says something to other countries about America.
