Which excerpt from "the cask of amontillado" presents the reader with the initial conflict of the story? "i have my doubts," i r

eplied; "and i was silly enough to pay the full amontillado price without consulting you in the matter. you were not to be found, and i was fearful of losing a bargain." the thousand injuries of fortunato i had borne as i best could, but when he ventured upon insult i vowed revenge. he had a weak point --this fortunato --although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. he prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. "the nitre!" i said; "see, it increases. it hangs like moss upon the vaults. we are below the river's bed. the drops of moisture trickle among the bones. come, we will go back ere it is too late. your cough --"?

bezimeni [28]

Answer: Change "mortifying" to "mortified"

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Read the sentence.

Abashed by the harsh criticism, the mortifying writer decided to rewrite the beginning of the book.

What is the best way to revise the sentence?

A. Change "Abashed" to "Abashing"

B. Change "mortifying" to "mortified"

C. Change "to rewrite" to "rewriting"

D. Change "beginning" to "began"

From the question, we can see that the use of tenses are incorrect. The use of "mortifying" is wrong, the past tense of mortify which is " mortified" is the right word to use.

When the -ing form is used as noun, it modifies the verb, but in this case, the past tense should have been used.

Imagine that these two aliens, who look like giant ants, came to your school one day. Write a story in about 150-200 words about
Veronika [31]

Answer:

not the prompt but here you go

Explanation:

It all started with a magnifying glass. Daryl's uncle had given it to him for his birthday. It didn't seem like much of a gift at the time, but then all sorts of things happened. Read this story to find out what kind of an adventure Daryl had!

A Summer's Day

It was a nice summer day and Daryl decided to go for a walk. 'Why don't you take that magnifying glass with you,' said his uncle, 'see what kind of an adventure you can find.' Daryl didn't think there was much adventure in a magnifying glass, but he stuck it in his pocket anyway along with some peanut butter crackers.

He walked to his favorite tree and sat down in the warm sand to eat his crackers. As he ate, some crumbs fell to the ground. He took out the magnifying glass when he noticed an ant had already found his cracker crumbs. 'Hey,' he thought, 'I'll check this out.'

The Adventure Begins

Under the magnifying glass, the ant looked pretty formidable. That means it looked large and scary! As he followed the ant, he saw it fall into a small pit. The ant tried and tried to crawl out of the pit, but the sand kept giving way and he'd fall back down. Daryl was just about to give up on the ant when, all of a sudden, out of the bottom of the pit jumped an antlion and grabbed the ant! Wow, was that something to watch up-close! The antlion was even more formidable than the ant!

Antlion

As he continued to gaze through the glass, he noticed a little trail of tracks. They almost looked like tractor tracks, but he knew that wasn't possible. He decided to follow them and see where they went. The tracks led him right to a tree where he found a caterpillar happily munching on a leaf. Wow, did the caterpillar look cool under the magnifying glass! It had colors and spots and hairs and lots of funny little feet. It was rather peculiar, meaning strange and different.

A Little Danger

He continued to watch the caterpillar when he was interrupted by a buzzing sound. There hovering over the caterpillar was a wasp. Though is startled him, he was rather intrigued, or very interested, with this tiny adventure he was on. The wasp was the most formidable of all!

Carefully watching the wasp, he saw it was laying small white eggs right on top of the caterpillar, who didn't seem to notice anything going on at all! What a crazy world down here in small land! The wasp suddenly flew up and away. As he watched, he saw it get tangled in a spider web. 'This is awesome,' he thought, 'I have to climb up and take a better look at that spider.'

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am Mohit Mohini, a resident of 432, Arjun Nagar, Jaipur who would like to receive more information about the vocational courses that you offer.

I would like to receive information about the starting dates and timetables because I wish to start the vocational course that you offer during the summer break, which I do not know if it is possible, but if it is, that would be very helpful so that I can start the course immediately.

I would also like to know the price of the course and to receive a brochure with detailed information about what the contents of the course are and the place where it is dictated if that is possible.

I wait for your answer,

Yours faithfully,

Mohit Mohini
