Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is B. Latin, and in English it means to refer to something that feels out of place or illogical in a certain context. The "non-" prefix means not, it is a negative word. Sequitur refers to the sequence or follows/following. Originate means the beginning, it's origin. Therefore it literally means something that does not come from its origin. More simply put, it can be an answer given to a question that does not at all relate to the question, there is no logical place for that answer or statement to come from what was given.

Which sentence is correctly hyphenated? Which sentence is correctly hyphenated? She decided to take the long-winding road.

The twentieth-century had the most tornadoes on record.



The hikers spotted a red-tailed pheasant.

Answers

The hikers spotted a red-tailed pheasant.


In this case the hyphen is necessary because it indicated that the tail is red, not the pheasant. The hyphen attaches the color red to tail. Red-tailed is a compound adjective that identify the pheasant.

A hyphen is not needed in twentieth century because it is a common phrase that readers know go together. The hyphen between tall and dark is incorrect. Tall and dark both describe the man, rather than each other. The same is true for long-winding. Long and winding describe the road. Long does not describe the winding.
The last one. The rest of them can either be left without the hyphen, or with a comma in place of the hyphen.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggests that Ivan Ilyich tried his best to escape from the reality of his troubled family life? Praskovya Fedorovna blamed her husband for every inconvenience they encountered in their new home. Most of the conversations between husband and wife, especially as to the children's education, led to topics which recalled former disputes, and these disputes were apt to flare up again at any moment. There remained only those rare periods of amorousness which still came to them at times but did not last long. These were islets at which they anchored for a while and then again set out upon that ocean of veiled hostility which showed itself in their aloofness from one another. This aloofness might have grieved Ivan Ilyich had he considered that it ought not to exist, but he now regarded the position as normal, and even made it the goal at which he aimed in family life. His aim was to free himself more and more from those unpleasantness and to give them a semblance of harmlessness and propriety. He attained this by spending less and less time with his family, and when obliged to be at home he tried to safeguard his position by the presence of outsiders. The chief thing however was that he had his official duties. The whole interest of his life now centered in the official world and that interest absorbed him. The consciousness of his power, being able to ruin anybody he wished to ruin, the importance, even the external dignity of his entry into court, or meetings with his subordinates, his success with superiors and inferiors, and above all his masterly handling of cases, of which he was conscious—all this gave him pleasure and filled his life, together with chats with his colleagues, dinners, and bridge. So that on the whole Ivan Ilyich's life continued to flow as he considered it should do—pleasantly and properly.

Read the excerpt below from the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Analyze the chart and answer the question that follows.Her sister, Miss Watson, a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles on, had just come to live with her, and took a set at me now with a spelling-book. She worked me middling hard for about an hour, and then the widow made her ease up. I couldn’t stood it much longer. Then for an hour it was deadly dull, and I was fidgety. Miss Watson would say, “Don’t put your feet up there, Huckleberry;” and “Don’t scrunch up like that, Huckleberry—set up straight;” and pretty soon she would say, “Don’t gap and stretch like that, Huckleberry—why don’t you try to behave?” Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad then, but I didn’t mean no harm. All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn’t particular. She said it was wicked to say what I said; said she wouldn’t say it for the whole world; she was going to live so as to go to the good place. Well, I couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up my mind I wouldn’t try for it. But I never said so, because it would only make trouble, and wouldn’t do no good.Source: Twain, Mark. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. 1885. New York: Barnes & Noble Classics, 2008.
