Jack waited patiently for his turn at bat. What verb does the adverb modify?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The verb waited is being modified by patiently.

Explanation:

Hi!

Alright so how I identify adverbs and verbs is by removing them to see if the sentence makes sense.

If you remove an adverb the sentence will still make sense.

If you remove just a verb then it will make no sense.

For example :

"I will eat later."

The adverb here is later.

And the verb is eat.

If you remove the adverb you get :

"I will eat" which is less descriptive but still makes sense.

If you remove the verb you get :

"I will later" which doesn't really mean anything. You don't know what is going on later and the statement on its own makes no sense.

Lets use this for your given sentence and remove some things to identify the adverb and verb.

Jack waited patiently for his turn at bat.

Removing waited :

Jack patiently for his turn at bat.

This makes no sense which means it is a verb.

Lets try removing bat :

Jack patiently waited for his turn at.

This makes no sense which means it is a verb.

If you're wondering about patiently lets try removing that.

Removing patiently :

Jack waited for his turn at bat.

This is the adverb cause this sentence still makes sense.

So pretty much here patiently is the adverb and this modifies the verb waited.

Since patiently is describing the verb waiting.

Waiting patiently.

The verb waited is being modified by patiently.

I hope this helps!

Now that I have described the ships in which merchants voyage to and from India, let us change the subject and pass on to India itself. But first I will tell you of many islands that lie towards the east in this Ocean at which we have now arrived. We shall begin with an island that is called Japan.

Japan is an island far out at sea to the eastward, some 1,500 miles from the mainland. It is a very big island. The people are fair-complexioned, good-looking, and well-mannered. They are idolaters, wholly independent and exercising no authority over any nation but themselves.
Which sentence best reflects the author’s subjective perspective on the people of Japan?

The people of Japan live 1,500 miles from the mainland.
The people of Japan live on an island.
The people of Japan are good-looking and well-mannered.
The people of Japan exercise no authority over other nations.

Answers

Answer:

Answers

Answer:

The blossoms of the tree make a beautiful covering over their heads.

Explanation:

I saw lots of answers saying that it was D, but I took the test and it said it was "The blossoms of the tree make a beautiful covering over their heads.".

I believe this is the one, since:

- The second one says it's only fit for a king, but the sentence doesn't mean that. It means that the tree was beautiful, and it would fit anyone.

-Not the third since the tree is real, but it says it isn't.

-Not the fourth (last one), since it says under the tree, it looks like a castle. The few sentences didn't exactly describe that under the tree, it looks like a castle. All it described was that it was really beautiful, since they said, "They drew the chair under the plum-tree, which was snow-white with blossoms and musical with bees. It was like a king's canopy, a fairy king's.". All of those words describe a wonderful and beautiful place!

So in conclusion, it's "The blossoms of the tree make a beautiful covering over their heads.".

B. "The House on Mango Street"
C.
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"
D.
All of the above

Answers

Answer:

A.  

“Girl”

Explanation:

"The use of the rapid–fire monologue structure of Jamaica Kincaid's "Girl" enhances her themes of adolescent repression and multigenerational misunderstandings. The structure is reminiscent of a monologue—that is, a singular character speaking without interruption of or commentary from another character. The plot is simple: a rapid–fire litany of advice from an older female relative to a young girl. The older female relative is allowed to speak straight through with only two exceptions. When the young girl does make a comment, Kincaid opts to italicize it, leaving the reader to question whether the words were actually spoken or merely thought. In this way, Kincaid is able to advance her themes of the challenges of adolescence and the challenges inherent in communication between members of different generations. "

IMAGINE YOU WAKE UP IN AN UNFAMILIAR SETTING, FEELING CONFUSED AND
WORRIED. DESCRIBE YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS AS YOU TRY TO WORK
OUT WHERE YOU ARE

Answers

Answer:

Unfortunately, I cannot write you an entire essay. But I can give you a prompt and ideas.

Describe a jungle, but do not directly say you are in a jungle. This will satisfy the "trying to work out where you are" part.

Paragraph one: describe waking up, feeling the roughness of dirt and leaves under you.

Paragraph two: You realize you are in an unfamiliar place. Describe the confusion and fear.

Paragraph three: describe looking around. What do you see? Probably a lot of trees and undergrowth (ferns, vines, other plants). What do you hear? Probably the calls of birds, unlike the ones in the city. Try to be specific when describing plants ("vines stretched into the canopy above my head.") or sounds ("a twig cracked in a nearby thicket. I jumped, heartrate rising.")

Paragraph four: Describe the new fear that comes with realizing you are in a jungle. Describe what you know about the dangers of jungles: the predatory animals, the diseases you can catch. This would probably lead to a feeling of dispair, loss of hope. You can end your essay very strongly if you craft these negative emotions right, and conclude that you are lost, alone, and probably will not survive.

Answers

Answer:

i think it should be the variant B

The introduction introduces the main idea by defining what a figure of speech is and listing them. Thus, option A is correct.

What is a paragraph?

"A paragraph can be defined as a collection of sentences that can be of any number it is usually taken from something or is written by someone. It is generally the whole paragraph is about a subject or a topic that is pre-decided."

Introduce the main idea of the speech by telling the listeners that it is just a figure and listing its characteristics. And in this sentence is the speaking more feeling and his freely.
