conjunction
preposition
auxiliary
interrogative
empty word

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Preposition is the correct answer.

In the sentence ¨They ate lunch under a pine tree", under is classified as a preposition of place. It's been used to especify the place where the subject "they" had lunch. The word "under" in the sentence can be easily replaced by the words "below" or "beneath" which are also prepositions of place.

Answer 2
Answer: Under is a "preposition".

This is correct because "under" is used to show the location of the action happening, which means that it is a preposition.

Selena said she would be waiting out front with the car at 9 p.m. Where could she be? The longer Isabel waited for her friend to pick her up, the more nervous she became. It couldn’t be a worse night to be standing outside alone. A storm was moving in, and the wind was beginning to rustle the trees, making everything seem spookier than it already was. From which point of view is the passage written? omniscient third person limited third person first person

Answers

Limited third person

If it was omniscient third person, we should know selena's feeling and her side of the story too.
If it was first person, the subject should always be "I". E.g: I waited for selena. I was standing outside alone.

In The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, what did the Time Traveller originally assume about the relationship between the Eloi and the Morlocks? The Eloi were prey and the Morlocks were predators. The Eloi were masters and the Morlocks were their servants. The Eloi were laborers and the Morlocks were their masters. The Eloi were nurturers and the Morlocks were destroyers.

Answers

The original assumption was that the Eloi were prey and the Morlocks were hunters. This changed over the course of the story when he figured out what was really going on.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Eloi were masters and the Morlocks were their servants.

Explanation:

Through the descriptions we get from the Time traveller we know that the Eloi are pretty, dumb, wear clothes and do not work, and, on the other hand, the Morlocks are ugly, not as dumb as the Eloi, do not wear clothes and do the work. With this information, the Time Traveller infers that the human race has evolved into two different species: the Eloi have evolved from the iddle middle and high classes, and the Morlocks have evolved from the working class and the poor.

How can figurative language help characterize a monster in a story?

Answers

Well for one, characterisation is how a writer chooses to reveal a characters personality in a story, through things like physical appearance (shiny hair, blue eyes, nice smile, ect.) and through virtues and faults (brave, attentive, smart - egotistical, bitter, evil.)

Figurative language is basically how you'd describe said chracterisations, through things like personification, hyperbole, metaphors, similes, ect.

So with that being said, figurative language can help characterise a monster by doing more than just saying it's a monster; figurative language can make it /feel/ like a monster to the reader. Figurative language can turn the monster '3-D' (for lack of better words), by saying it has long claws, stinky breath, vicious fangs, a horrifying growl, ect. 

My favourite example of figurative language is actually in the childrens book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, because it uses simple figurative language. Maurice Sendak describes the wild things as so: "They roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.'

Anyway, I hope this helped !! :-)

Bene is a Latin root meaning good or well. In the line, "I hail as a benefactor...every man who...makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful," what does the word benefactor suggest about Roosevelt's position on ethical journalism?A. he condemns it
B. he enjoys it
C.he is indifferent in to
D. he supports it
D.

Answers

The word "benefactor" about Roosevelt's position on ethical journalism suggests that he supports it. The correct answer is option D. The word benefactor comes from the Latin word "Bene facere" meaning, do good (to). Therefore, if someone is a benefactor, he/she is also called a supporter, or a sponsor. 

The answer is: he supports it.

According to the root of the word and the passage above, one can safely infer that Roosevelt is a supporter of journalism, but only insofar as it is ethical journalism that sticks to the foundations of this practice, which, as Roosevelt would have it, should stick close to truth, or in other words: objectivity, responsibility, and well-founded information.
