In the following sentence, identify the part of speech of the italicized word.Thousands of years ago, fish were caught in nets (and) traps.
A. Preposition
B. Pronoun
C. Conjunction
D. Linking verb

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I believe the answer is C. The word "and" is a conjunction where it joins the words nets and traps. A conjunction is apart of speech which is like a glue that holds phrases, words and clauses together. Examples are or, and, but, nor, etc.

Question:

In "Where have you gone, charming billy" paul cant help but laugh over billy boys death because .  

A) He died so unexpectedly

B He died in such an unlikely way

C) He had predicted he would die

D) He had died before getting to fight

Answer:

The correct option is B) He died in such an unlikely way.

Explanation:

Billy had stepped on a mine that blew off his leg then went on to die from a heart attack.

The unlikeliness is dual in nature:

  • First, Billy triggers the heart attack, leading him to die. After his foot is decoupled by a land mine, he panics, thinking he will die. Not even the pain killers or the opportunity to go home served to calm him down. In the end, Billy’s fear of death ignites a heart attack that kills him.

  • Second, how is it that a soldier would be so scared to death he eventually dies from his own fear of death rather than in the battlefield? If he was so afraid of death, how did he end up as a soldier in the first place? These are the questions going through Paul's mind.

Cheers!
