Which detail best characterizes the narrator in the excerpt?
excerpt from A Journey to the Center of the Earth
by Jules Verne
But my uncle was not a man to be kept waiting so adjourning therefore all minor questions, I presented myself before him.
He was a very learned man. Now most persons in this category supply themselves with information, as peddlers do with goods, for the benefit of
others, and lay up stores in order to diffuse them abroad for the benefit of society in general. Not so my excellent uncle. Professor Hardwigg he
studied, he consumed the midnight oil, he pored over heavy tomes, and digested huge quartos and folios in order to keep the knowledge acquired
to himself.
There was a reason, and it may be regarded as a good one, why my uncle objected to display his learning more than was absolutely necessary; he
stammered; and when intent upon explaining the phenomena of the heavens, was apt to find himself at fault, and allude in such a vague way to
sun, moon, and stars that few were able to comprehend his meaning. To tell the honest truth, when the right word would not come, it was
generally replaced by a very powerful adjective.
As I said, my uncle, Professor Hardwigg, was a very learned man; and I now add a most kind relative. I was bound to him by the double ties of
affection and interest. I took deep interest in all his doings, and hoped some day to be almost as learned myself. It was a rare thing for me to be
absent from his lectures. Like him, I preferred mineralogy to all the other sciences. My anxiety was to gain real knowledge of the earth. Geology
and mineralogy were to us the sole objects of life, and in connection with these studies many a fair specimen of stone, chalk, or metal did we break
with our hammers.

Answer:

towards

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.

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.

Some examples of a preposition used in various literary works in English language are up, below, after, by, against, for, over, at, to, towards, etc.

Hence, the most appropriate word to fill the blank is "towards" and the complete sentence would be written as; "The ball is running towards us."

In English language, towards is a preposition that is used to describe the direction in which something or someone moves.

Explanation: It’s been so long since we met. When I received my gift by courier I was pleasantly surprised. It was very thoughtful of you to send me a pair of swimming goggles. I’ve wanted them for as long as I can remember; so when I received them on my birthday it was a dream come true.

I immediately went swimming armed with my new goggles. They are a perfect fit Uncle Fraser, and watertight as well. I can now swim underwater, something I’ve always wanted to do. It was very considerate of you to pick a pair with dark glasses as the sun shines relentlessly on the pool everyday but thanks to the dark glasses I don’t have to squint my eyes while swimming anymore.

I have a week off from college in August. If it is alright with you, I would love to come visit you. I’ve written a lot of poems since we last met and a special one just for you. I will bring it along when I come to meet you.

I would probably create a movie because I’d be able to express more details with sound and lighting. A stage presentation can do that too, but I think you have more options for sound and special effects when making a movie. I would set the movie in modern times, and I would update the script to make sure the characters use dialogue that matches how we speak today. Also, a stage presentation is limited in the number of audience members who can see the performance, while a film can be seen by a larger audience.

D. Take the third (I repeat, the third) tree-lined road on the right.

Answer:

A. Take the third - I repeat, the third - tree-lined road on the right.

Explanation:

First of all, it is important that we know the use of a 'dash' in a sentence. Dashes are either used to signify a break in the sentence or to redefine what was just written (this means that it places emphasis on the previous word or group of words). The speaker wants to emphasize exactly which tree-lined road to take. Once a dash is opened, it should also be closed at the end of the emphasis or break in the sentence with another dash. This is quite like an apostrophe which has to be closed as well when it is opened.

Next, it is important to also put a dash between the words 'tree' and 'lined' to emphasize or describe exactly what type of road should be taken. This means that the road is lined with trees.

Answer:

the telivision repoter would have the ability to speak to more sources about the subject.

A television's live report from the scene of a war differ from a book written about the war years later because the television reporter would have the ability to speak to more sources about the subject. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

A TV report can inform viewers about current events. It can also provide background information and explanations for news events, as well as convey the perspectives and experiences of others through images, sounds, and words.

The television reporter would have the first hand information on the event, because it had just taken place. The reporter also have the scope of speaking to the war veterans which would contain a real time view of the scene  from the battlefield. The author who is writing the book years later does have this advantages, as the event have happened a long ago and there is a high possibility that all the sources about the subject may not be available.

Therefore, option d is correct.
