iterary Text: Historical Fiction
Read this passage. Then, answer the question(s).

(1) It was a fine harbor, well protected from the sea, yet with the sea easily reachable through navigable waters. (2) The vessel sailed for the Dutch West India Company, its mission to purchase from the natives a base from which to conduct company trade. (3) The best location, it was decided, was the tip of the hilly island the natives called Manna-hata. (4) Dutch being unfamiliar to the natives, the captain employed broken French and a great deal of sign language to arrange for the purchase. (5) For goods worth only about sixty Dutch guilders—cloth, kettles, knives, shirts—he concluded what he thought was a splendid bargain, acquiring the island for the company.

(6) The Tall One spoke as best he could to the strangers from across the waters. (7) "I know my people's love of the land. I hear your words, but I do not think you share this love. (8) When you speak, I hear only your want. (9) I hear only your need. (10) Your need is for a place to hunt. (11) Your want is for a promise of safety. (12) For this, you make offerings. (13) Very well. (14) There is enough here to share. (15) I accept your offerings, and I welcome you in peace." (16) He did not understand why later they expected him and his people to leave the area.


Which meaning of the word base is used in sentence 2?
A. a supporting foundation
B. a center of operations
C. a sand-filled bag
D. a main ing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. a center of operations

Explanation:

According to the text above, a harbor was described by the narrator which was well protected from the sea although the sea was easily reachable through navigable waters.

In the second sentence, it was mentioned that the vessel sailed for the Dutch West India Company with the mission to purchase from the natives a base from which to conduct business trade.

The word base as used here means a center of operations

Answers

Answer:

A. The work was tedious, but we had to soldier on to meet the

deadline.

Explanation:

Connotation means when a word has an implied meaning as opposed to its literal meaning.

Therefore, the word 'soldier' is used connotatively in option A to show that although the work was difficult, they had to "soldier on" which means they had to keep working in order to meet the deadline. This is quite different from the literal meaning of the word 'soldier' which is a member of the armed forces.

C)informative nonfiction

D)biography

Answer:

C)informative nonfiction

Informative nonfiction has to do with representing facts without bias or using personal opinion and it is used to teach readers things they previously didn't know.

The time in which the verb takes place is called what?

Answers

Answer:

Tense.

Explanation:

A tense is a grammatical indication of when a verb happens/ occurs. It categorizes the time, the duration, the completeness, or the continuation of any act that is done.

In grammar, there are three primary categories of tenses- past tense, present tense, and future tense. And according to what tense is used in a sentence, the time can easily be known or understood.

For example, the sentence "I went home late last night" is in the past tense as the tense form of "went" is the past tense of "go".

Similarly, "I will be going home" signifies a future tense as the sentence uses "will+be+-ing" form of the verb.

Answers

Answer: As carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere, the greenhouse effect will occur.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a not a proper noun and so it is not to be capitalized in sentences rather the Carbon can be capitalized if it is at the beginning of the sentence.

The atmosphere as well is not to be capitalized in sentences because it is a common noun which is used to describe general things like the atmosphere. Common nouns are not to be capitalized within sentences.

What is the direct object in the sentence; Everybody could listen to the queen

Answers

Answer:

The queen.

Explanation:

A direct object is the noun/ noun phrase in the sentence who receives the action/ verb of the subject. The sentence structure generally remains- Subject+verb+object.

Now, looking at the given sentence, we can easily know that the subject in the sentence is the pronoun "everybody". And the verb is "listen". SO, the object/ direct receiver of the verb is "the queen".

Thus, the correct answer is "the queen".

Which of these themes recurs in Jane Austen’s novels? A. revenge B. industrialization C. class distinctions D. death

Answers

Answer:

Class Distinction

Explanation:

During the time of writing, there was a huge class distinction between the royalty, nobility and commoners.

Answer:

C) Class distinctions

One of the dominant topics in the literature of Jane Austen is that of class distinctions. This was a major concern of English culture at the time. Class determined the chances that a person had in life to an enormous extent, including the partner they could have, the education they could receive, the job opportunities they got and the people and places they could frequent. Jane Austen was able to portray how important this was to people while at the same time offer some criticism. She was able to question whether this was really the best way for society to conduct itself.

Answers

This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

What does the word fraught mean based on the context clues provided? Rumi forgot about his essay until the night before it was due. He didn’t have much time to revise it. When he got the essay back from his teacher, he could see that it was fraught with grammar and spelling errors. Rumi vowed to be more aware of due dates.

A. to be full of something

B. to forget a step

C. to be rushed

D. to notice mistakes

Answer:

The word "fraught" means:

A. to be full of something.

Explanation:

"Fraught" is an adjective that means, among other things, "full of" or "filled with." However, even if we did not know its meaning, the way the word is used in the passage would easily reveal it.

If Rumi forgot about the essay and only wrote it the night before it was due, we can assume he did not do a good job, as would happen to most people. He most likely did it in a hurry, not having enough time to revise and edit it before handing it in. Therefore, the essay is expected to be full of mistakes. When we read, "he could see that it was fraught with grammar and spelling errors," after having taken the context into consideration, we can easily substitute the word "fraught" with "filled" or "full of" automatically.

Which sentence with an introductory phrase is punctuated correctly? a. Despite the economy, the restaurant had record profits. b. Despite the economy, the restaurant, had record profits. c. Despite the economy; the restaurant had, record profits. d. Despite, the economy the restaurant had record profits.

Answers

Answer:

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is:

a. Despite the economy, the restaurant had record profits.

Explanation:

The introductory phrase is "despite the economy." This type of phrase is separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma. For that reason, we can eliminate letters C and D. Letter C uses a semicolon unnecessarily. Letter D is separating elements of the introductory phrase itself, which makes no grammatical sense. Both letter A and letter B use a comma after the introductory phrase. However, letter B should also be eliminated because it adds another comma right after the subject, separating it from the predicate for no reason. There is no appositive element to justify this separation. Therefore, the correct option is letter A. Despite the economy, the restaurant had record profits.

Write a 450 words story that ends with the statement, "I had never felt so embarrassed in my life".

Answers

Answer:

Story ending with "I had never felt so embarrassed in my life".

Explanation:

Once I had gone on a holiday to my friend's ancestral home with a group of friends. We were really excited about seeing new places, exploring the places so different from our usual daily encounters. This place was a place of nature, small villages alongside a mountain with hardly any modern facility. But the prospect of being in nature, away from the busy city life and the noise, we were all so energized and excited to get there.  

Once we were on our way, the train journey didn't seem so bad at all, with the anticipation of what was to come. I was especially excited for I felt I had researched enough about the place and the food and people, and was confident of myself, as compared to my other friends who were so out of everything. And I confidently declared that I will come back with how to perfect the local dishes.

Once we reached our destination, the excitement of being in a new place overwhelmed us and we forgot everything. We were just consumed with the new environment, with the new scenery engulfing is all around. And with greater expectations, we spent our first night in the village hut. The next morning brought us a scene out of a movie. Fog engulfed our whole hut, leaving us in awe of the scene before our eyes. We clicked pictures and made videos to send or upload once we get back to the city.  

Feeling super confident about my knowledge of village life, I volunteered to help out our hosts in the preparation of food and other household chores. My friends decided to help in some other activities while I remained stuck with the mother, preparing our meal. I love to cook and explore different cuisines so it was a process of learning for me. And it was this experience that will haunt me in the next days.

The next day, I volunteered to make the meal by myself, feeling confident about the meal I had learned from the mother. I prepared as much as I can, full of confidence that I had nailed it and even boasted to the other neighbors that I had prepared their native dish from scratch by myself. But when they ate and tasted the food, it was so horrid that no one wanted. In my overconfidence, I had mixed up all of the ingredients and had not taken into consideration the amounts needed to make a perfect taste. It was from then on that I became the butt of jokes during and after the whole trip, even from the neighbors and almost the whole village. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.

GPA, no University will want a student that isn’t enhanced and engaged, thriving to better themselves. 4. Also they tend to look for well spoken and well written in English.
