Highlight the gerund phrase in each of the sentences. 1 - 5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The gerund phrases are in bold:

1. Binge watching TV shows is my favorite hobby.

2. Leon was accused of cheating on his test.

3. The detective loved his job because he loved solving the mystery.

4. Thinking deeply is hard to do when someone is emotionally distraught.

5. My accountant is awesome at doing my taxes.

Explanation:

I have been able to highlight the gerund phrase in the sentences above.

A gerund phrase is known to be the phrase that actually consist of a gerund and any other modifier or objects that goes with it. A gerund refers to a noun which is made from a verb root with an addition of -ing (a present participle).

The whole of a gerund phrase can function as a noun in a sentence and can also act as a subject, object or a predicative normative.

From the above highlighted phrases, we can see that each verb is carrying an -ing at the back. They are the gerund phrases.

Part 2 Directions: You are to write a three (3) paragraph essay to the questions posed. Make sure that you answer all three (3) parts of the question. You must use the drama Hamlet, the poem The Present Crisis and/or the short story Lamb to the Slaughter to help prove your points. Remember, in the first paragraph you have to state your thesis and a little background information, and in the second paragraph, you go into detail about each question using text as support, and the third paragraph is the concluding paragraph where you restate your thesis and your final thoughts. You will write in 3 rdperson using pronouns (he, she, it or they). 1) What is revenge supposed to look like for Hamlet? (2) Is he merely avenging his father’s or is he retaliating because he was not made king after his father’s death?(3) And how did Ophelia play into his revenge?

Answers

Answer:

Hamlet´s main goal is avenging his father’s being killed. There are no hints that imply him angry about not being king following his father’s dying. What he wants is to make sure that Claudius is guilty and kill him as retaliation to send him to hell.

Explanation:

In act 3, Hamlet has an opportunity to kill him, but since Claudius was praying at the time, Hamlet feared that killing him would send him to heaven, so he didn´t. That implies that the ultimate revenge for him is sending Claudius to hell. Ophelia and her romantic relationship with Hamlet play an important part in the plot of revenge. In the end, is the fear of others to Ophelia being with Hamlet, as well as Hamlet´s erratic behavior around her, that drives Ophelia mad into killing herself.

Hamlet seems to have clear goals but finds he´s unable to accomplish them because of doubt and erratic behavior while trying to discover the truth about his father. While he goes through a justified and not greedy attempt to seek revenge and seems to be in love with Ophelia, his actions don´t allow him to accomplish his goals.

A.

B.

Imperative

C.

Interrogative

Answers

the answer is C because they are usually questions.
Hence, the definition of interrogative being “having or conveying the force of a question.”

The statement "Okay, are we going together or driving separately?" involves an interrogative mood.

What is an interrogative mood?

It is used to express a sense of uncertainty through the asking of a question.

It usually contains an auxiliary verb (helping verb) and then a main verb.

Therefore, the Option C is correct.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

In literature, a character's foil is someone who is his opposite, who makes certain qualities of his more noticeable. In Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo and his friend Mercutio are foils for each other.

Even though they are friends, their personalities could not be more distinct. Romeo is a helpless romantic. He believes in true love and in dreams. Romeo is the type of person who will stop eating, who will stay home alone, sulking, because the woman he likes does not like him back. Mercutio teases him for being like that. Mercutio does not have such a romantic view of love as Romeo. He has a more playful attitude toward it. He also thinks that dreams have no meaning, no importance. Mercutio is the type of person who lives in the present, who enjoys life, who does not allow feelings to overwhelm him.

i need a paragraph about how less gun laws would result in a safer community. pls help

Answers

I think less gun laws would make a safer community because that way you could protect yourself from individual(s) who are possibly trying to attack you. Or if you wanted to go hunting you should have every right to go hunting. Even though that means more people could have more guns that means more protection and if people know how to use a gun properly there should be no issues. I think people who have a violent criminal history background should not be able to legally own a gun but I think for the people who have little to no violent criminal history background should have the right to own a gun I think people should have the full right to protect themselves and their family against certain people who have a dangerous weapon on them and trying to use it against them.

question 1.

"Two Kinds" is, at its most fundamental level, a story about the difference between what a parent wants for her child and what that child wants for herself.

TRUE OR FALSE

Question 2

The story "Two Kinds" is written from a third-person perspective.

TRUE OF FALSE

Answers

Answer:

1. TRUE

2. FALSE

Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story by Amy Tan. The story is narrated from a first-person perspective by the main character, June. She is the daughter of Suyuan, a Chinese immigrant living in America.

At its most fundamental level, the story revolves around the conflict between mother and daughter. Suyuan expects June to be a child prodigy, no matter in which field - singing, dancing, mathematics, acting, playing the piano. June, on the other hand, quickly decides that she does not want to be a prodigy at all, but would rather be mediocre. And that is what she does, her whole life. Thus, the conflict is basically between what the mother wants for her daughter, and what the daughter wants for herself.

Explanation:

He came over the hill and through the garden.
the prepositional phrase is\are

Answers

Answer:

over the hill; through the garden.

Explanation:

A preposition can be defined as a word that shows or illustrates the relationship between a pronoun or noun and other words in a sentence. Some examples of a preposition used in various literary works in English language are up, below, after, by, against, for, over, at, to, etc.

The main purpose of a preposition as a part of speech is to introduce an object (of, upon), indicate a timeframe (from, by, over), show direction (to, across, along), location or place (at, up, after, below) and to illustrate the spatial or sequential relationship between two or more things, people, place, etc.

A prepositional phrase can be defined as a phrase that starts with a preposition such as over, through, to, below, on, etc., and ends with a noun such as hill, garden, bridge, school, hospital, etc.

In this scenario, the prepositional phrase in the sentence are "over the hill" and "through the garden."
