What does the narrator allude to at the end of this sentence from Mark Twain's "The 1,000,000 Bank-Note"? "So I loved her all the more, seeing she could be so cheerful when there wasn't anything to be cheerful about; for I might soon need that kind of wife, you know, the way things looked." A) the possibility of Adams having to leave the country to escape his creditors B) the possibility of requiring a wife who could match Adams social standards C) the possibility of Adams failure and having a lot of debt to repay D) the possibility of Adams taking up permanent residence in London

Answers

The correct answer is the following: option B. At the end of the sentence provided in the question the narrator alludes to the possibility of requiring a wife who could match Adam social standards.

"The Million Pound Bank-Note" is a short story written by American author Mark Twain that was first published in 1893. It tells the story  of an American man named Henry who is poor and now living in he city of London. Henry Adams is given an envelope with a 1.000.000 pound bank-note that in the case that he would try to exchange it in the bank, would probably send him to prison. Still Henry  starts to see how by having that bank-note in his power, people are assured that he is wealthy and therefore he can live in the city as a rich man, without ever spending the 1.000.000 pound bank-note.

This is why the narrator is alluding that Adams requires a wife who could match Adam social standards. She can be cheerful in moments there was no reason to be cheerful at all, and Adams knows that his social status can suddenly drastically change, and he needs someone like her by his side.

Which of the following sentences contains an infinitive?A. Dave will take us to the field before the game.
B. Heather wants to go to the store with us.
C. The car was parked next to the church.
D. Let's walk to the picnic.

Answers

B Heather wants to go to the store with us.

An infinitive is a verb that hasn't been conjugated for a certain subject, so it sounds the same whether it's us, you, me, they, she or anyone doing it. (For example, while runs has an s in "she runs" and no s in "I run", with the infinitive, they are both the same: To run, as in "She wants to run" or :"I want to run")

Usually you can tell a verb is an infinitive if it has "to" in front of it.

Heather wants to go to the store with us is the sentences contains an infinitive. Thus, option (b) is correct.

The verb "to go" in this sentence is an infinitive, which is the basic form of a verb that is preceded by the preposition "to". The direct object of the verb "wants" is the infinitive "to go".

In a sentence, an infinitive may take the place of a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. In this sentence, the infinitive "to go" serves as the direct object of the verb "wants" and acts as a noun.

As a result, the significance of the sentences contains an infinitive are the aforementioned. Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Speakers of the Aryan language came to Eastern Europe from the Tigris-Euphrates area.True
False

Answers

It is impossible to pinpoint where the Aryan language came from (actually, Aryan is a family of languages) but this statement is likely to be broadly true. 

One of the most ancient of the Aryan languages is Old Persian, examples of which have been found in what is now Iran, Romania (Gherla), Armenia, Bahrain, Iraq, Turkey and Egypt. During the last twelve years Old Persian tablets have been unearthed. These suggest Old Persian was a written language, used for keeping records.
