(he / phone) ______ Angie before he went to see her in London? 10. She (not / ride) ______ a horse before that day

Answers

Answer:

1. The storm destroyed the sandcastle that we (build) had built.

2. He (not / be)had not been to Cape Town before 1997.

3. When she went out to play, she (do / already) had already done her homework.

4. My brother ate all of the cake that our mum (make) had made.

5. The doctor took off the plaster that he (put on) had put on six weeks before.

6. The waiter brought a drink that I (not / order) had not ordered.

7. I could not remember the poem we (learn) had learned the week before.

8. The children collected the chestnuts that (fall) had fallen from the tree.

9. (he / phone)Had he phoned Angie before he went to see her in London?

10. She (not / ride) had not ridden a horse before that day

Explanation:

The tense that we have to use to fill the blanks is past perfect simple. We use this tense when we want to talk about an action that took place before another event in the past. Usually, the other situation is in the past simple.

The structure of the past perfect is: the subject (he, she, it, we, you, they, you, I) followed by the auxiliary had and the verb in the past participle.

For example, in the sentence, John knew the town because he had visited it in the past. Knew, is the past simple of know while had visited, is the part of the sentence that is in past perfect simple, and we can see that is referring to an event in the past (knew the city) because of the action that he made previously to that (had visited it in the past).

The correct verb forms to fill the given blanks would be as follows:

1). The storm destroyed the sandcastle that we had built.

2). He had not been to Cape Town before 1997.

3). When she went out to play, she had already done her homework.

4). My brother ate all of the cake that our mum had made.

5). The doctor took off the plaster that he had put on six weeks before.

6). The waiter brought a drink that I had not ordered.

7). I could not remember the poem we had learned the week before.

8). The children collected the chestnuts that had fallen from the tree.

9). Had he phoned Angie before he went to see her in London?

10). She had not ridden a horse before that day.

Past perfect tense is employed to denote the actions that took place in the past prior to an event that happened in the past. The first action is framed using "Subject + had + V3" and the latter action is framed in past indefinite tense i.e. "Subject + V2."Thus, the above blanks would be as mentioned using this tense as follows.

Which statement best explains how the modern story transforms the ideas of the original myth?

A) Joyce emphasizes the suffering of his Penelope-inspired character to make his story more tragic than the original myth.

B) Joyce makes the idea of an invaded home more personal for readers by writing about two ordinary people in a modern city rather than about a mythical Greek warrior.

C) Unlike Homer's Odysseus, Joyce shows that one can never truly return home from a war, either because one has personally changed or one's home changed.

D) Joyce expresses his opinion that the journey of Odysseus is minor compared to the ordinary pursuits of a modern person.

Answers

Answer:

B) Joyce makes the idea of an invaded home more personal for readers by writing about two ordinary people in a modern city rather than about a mythical Greek warrior.

Explanation:

The statement that best explains how the modern story transforms the ideas of the original myth is option B because Joyce makes a narration of a more relatable situation for modern readers.

Joyce uses the narration of a home invasion because it would be more relatable to modern readers than talking about fighting in wars or a mythical Greek warrior.

Read the passage about the life of Cesar Chavez.

Cesar Chavez was born on March 31, 1927, near Yuma, Arizona. Chavez is best known for his use of nonviolent means to draw attention to the poor working conditions of farm workers in the United States. He also formed the National Farm Workers Association in 1962. In 1972, the National Farm Workers Association merged with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee to become the United Farm Workers. Chavez led marches, boycotts, and hunger strikes. It is believed that these hunger strikes may have contributed to his death on April 23, 1993.

Chavez dedicated his life to improving the lives of farm workers, a life with which he was very familiar. Until he was ten, his parents had owned a farm. They lost this farm during the Great Depression, and he and his family became migrant farm workers. Chavez had to work even harder after his father was injured in an automobile accident. He knew all too well about the poor pay and terrible working conditions withstood by farm workers. Chavez used nonviolent means to fight for the improved treatment, pay, and working conditions of farm workers. He was instrumental in organizing one such famous strike against the California grape growers in 1965, a battle that lasted for years. At one point, Chavez even called for a national boycott against the grape growers. His efforts over the years resulted in several victories for farm workers. After his death, Chavez was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Which fact would be best to include to help nominate Chavez for the "Most Dedicated” category?
A. Chavez believed in using nonviolent methods to achieve his goals.
B. Chavez worked most of his life to improve the lives of farm workers.
C. Chavez received the Presidential Medal of Freedom after his death.
D. Chavez understood the conditions that migrant farm workers faced.

Answers

The answer should be b, since he did work most of his life so the farmers life would be improved, but if I’m wrong I’m sorry

Can clothing change the way a person behaves?
Write an opinion essay applying the elements and the writing process.

Answers

We all take a little extra effort to look nice for special occasions. But for the most, people remain conflicted between wanting to dress up and feeling guilty about taking the time to focus on clothes. Science now suggests that how we dress may just be the difference between giving ourselves the extra edge in our professional and personal lives. And yes, that applies to men too.

We hear sayings like “dress for the job you want; not the job you have” and “look good, feel good” all the time. Most people don’t really believe in them, but we try to match our attire to the occasion nevertheless. The good news is that research into the impact of clothes on behavior now suggests that there may actually be a grain of truth in these sayings. Science says that the clothes we wear affect our behavior, attitudes, personality, mood, confidence, and even the way we interact with others. This is “Enclothed Cognition“.

The term Enclothed Cognition is used to describe the effect that our clothes seem to have on various psychological processes like emotions, self evaluations, attitudes, and interpersonal interactions. Clothes affect our behavior and our moods because of the symbolic meaning that we (as a society) ascribe to different types of attire.

We consider some clothes to be powerful, some to be fun, and so on. We even evaluate people whom we have just met based on their clothes and the occasion. It would seem that we also evaluate ourselves and our roles based on what we are wearing at a particular time; because of the way they make you feel. This means that the experience of wearing something subtly affects our attitudes and our choice of behavior.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

Read the excerpt from Frida Kahlo by Hedda Garza.

Curious to know more about the daring young girl below, the bulky Rivera made the slow descent to the ground floor. Kahlo wasted no time in preliminaries. . . . "I have come to show you my paintings," she told him audaciously. She told him her name and Rivera remembered that just a few years earlier, the director of the National Preparatory had told him that the girl who had caused him so much trouble was the same Frida Kahlo. Instead of becoming angry at Kahlo's audacity, the unconventional artist was delighted to meet his former tormentor face to face.

The author seems to admire Frida Kahlo's brave personality. Which detail supports these feelings?

Diego Rivera remembered hearing Frida Kahlo's name from the National Preparatory director.
Diego Rivera quickly climbed down to meet Frida Kahlo.
Diego Rivera was an unconventional artist.
Diego Rivera was not angry with Frida's boldness; he was happy to meet her.

Answers

Answer:

D (I could be wrong)

Explanation:

It is the only answer that talks about her personality

Diego Rivera was not angry with Frida's boldness; he was happy to meet her. The correct option is D.

Who was Frida Kahlo?

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who was well-known for her uncompromising and brilliantly colored self-portraits that addressed issues such as identity, the human body, and death. Despite her denial, she is frequently identified as a Surrealist.

Frida Kahlo has become a folk hero due to her distinct personality and multifaceted life.

She has become a symbol of women's inner strength, a love of Mexico and its culture, and tenacity in the face of adversity. Above all, she was a genuine woman who stood firm in her beliefs.

Diego Rivera was not offended by Frida's audacity; he was delighted to meet her.

Thus, the correct option is D.
