Which statement best explains how this event develops the plot?


It is the climax of the story, as this is the point in the story where Master Hauchecorne undergoes a dramatic change in his personality.


It is part of the rising action of the story, which builds the reader's suspense about how Master Hauchecorne will prove his innocence.


It resolves the main conflict of the story by demonstrating that Master Hauchecorne is an untrustworthy character who has concealed the theft.

It serves as the falling action of the story, which resolves the tension about whether Master Hauchecorne will use the string.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It is part of the rising action of the story, which builds the reader's suspense about how Master Hauchecorne will prove his innocence.

Explanation:

"The Piece of String" is a short story about how Maitre Hauchecorne was wrongly accused of theft. Although Maitre Hauchecorne swears that he is not responsible for the crime, no one believes him and if he fails to prove his innocence, he will suffer serious consequences. This moment in history is called rising action and this is where suspense is built because the reader needs to know how Master Hauchecorne will prove his innocence.

8.Habib knitted a beautiful scarf for his mother.________
9.The posters in Leela's room are beautiful.___________
10. These apples are delicious.___________​

Answers

Answer:

1. sincere - attributive

2. large - attributive

3. black - attributive

4. old - attributive  wise - predicative

5. cute - attributive

6. talented - predicative

7. old - attributive  strange - predicative

8. beautiful - attributive

9. beautiful - predicative

10. delicious - predicative

Explanation:

To distinguish an attributive from a predicative adjective, we must observe the following:

- An attributive adjective comes immediately before the noun it modifies. The sentence, in this case, can have any type of verb.

- A predicative adjective, on the other hand, comes after the noun it refers to. More specifically, it comes after a linking verb. It can thus function as a subject complement.

Let's illustrate this with two of the sentences above, both using the same adjective "beautiful":

8. Habib knitted a beautiful scarf for his mother. --> "Beautiful" is attributive in this case, since it comes immediately before the noun "scarf".

9. The posters in Leela's room are beautiful. --> "Beautiful" is predicative here, coming after the liking verb "are" and referring back to the noun "posters".

[1] Kicking a ball in a net and scoring, is not as important as saving lives. Soccer to me would be considered overrated. Many fans have problems when it comes to cheering for their team. It causes many conflicts, that can’t be solved by a simple resolution like shaking hands. Sports, especially soccer is not worth a heart attack or increase of blood pressure. Those scoring in a soccer game earn more money than a doctors salary who saves lives of human beings every second of the time in the world. [2] Based on my experience, watching soccer games or being a fan of any type of sport shouldn’t cause your blood pressure to decrease or increase. Conflicts rise between a team against another team, and instructors against other instructors. Many don’t keep in mind that we don’t live on earth eternally, so theres no need to waste time thinking about a lost game. [3] “Overrated” is often used to diminish concepts, places, and even roles. I believe that soccer does not deserve the prestige it is given today. I know mostly about famous soccer players who can score goals two times in a row, than I know about doctors who scored an important goal by saving the lives of people, who were on the border of loosing their lives.

before I start what is the topic?

Answer: 1)Kicking and scoring a ball in a net is not as critical as saving lives. To me, soccer will be deemed overrated. When it comes to cheering for their team, many fans have issues. It triggers many disputes, such as shaking hands, which can not be resolved by a simple solution. Sports are not worth a heart attack or an increase in blood pressure, particularly soccer. Those who score in a soccer game gain more money than the wages of a doctor who saves human lives every second of the world's time. [2] Watching soccer games or becoming a fan of any form of sport does not cause the blood pressure to decrease or rise, based on my experience.

Some don't take into account that we don't live eternally on earth, so there's no need to waste time worrying about a lost game. [3] To minimize terms, locations, and even positions, "overrated" is also used. I agree that the reputation it is provided today is not earned by soccer. Most of the time, I know of famous soccer players who can score goals twice in a row than I know of doctors who have scored a big goal by saving the lives of people who have been on the verge of losing their lives.

What is the theme of To Autumn?

The sonnet acclaims autumn, depicting its overflow, reap, and change into winter, and uses extreme, exotic symbolism to lift the passing magnificence existing apart from everything else.

"To Autumn" is the last significant work that Keats finished before his passing in Rome, in 1821, where the 25-year-old capitulated to tuberculosis.

The fundamental subjects in "To Autumn" are the force of nature, the progression of time, and the reassurance of excellence. The influence of nature: The sonnet communicates adoration and wonder for the incredible changes fashioned essentially as autumn carries its wealth to the scene.

1) Sydney’s parents finally bought her a cell phone. She’s super excited. Now she can call or text her friends even though her parents have set limits on her use of the phone. But there are some things Sydney and other kids like her need to consider. The technology she craved has some major downsides to it.
2) Sydney and her friend Ashlee have been texting back and forth all evening. They’re making plans for the weekend. While Sydney is brushing her teeth, another text comes in. Sydney had planned on reading a little bit of her novel before lights out. Instead, she and Ashlee continue to text. Sydney hasn’t read her book. It’s bedtime, and Ashlee texts Sydney with some juicy gossip, and the texting continues. Soon, a half hour has passed. Sydney finally settles in and turns out the light, but she lies in bed expecting the beep. She’s waiting to see if Ashlee will text her back. Sydney has trouble falling asleep. The next morning, both Sydney and Ashlee struggle to wake up. All day, both girls feel groggy and irritable, and they’re not sure why.
Why Kids Are So Tired
3) Studies have shown that teens and tweens who use cell phones late at night suffer from sleep deprivation. This means that they are not getting the right amount of sleep for people their age. People need sleep to refresh their bodies. When they don’t get enough sleep, it affects everything they do. The bright screen lights from cell phones decrease melatonin in the body. Melatonin is a hormone produced by a gland in our brains. It regulates our sleep cycle. This hormone is produced at night in the dark while we sleep. Exposure to light at night can slow the production of melatonin and interrupt our sleep.
4) The National Sleep Foundation states that children 7–12 years old need 10 to 11 hours of sleep a night. Teens 12–18 years old need 8.5 to 9.5 hours a night. About 45 percent of adolescents ages 11–17 get fewer than eight hours of sleep a night. For a good night’s sleep, it’s important to have a consistent and soothing bedtime routine. This does not include time with TVs, tablets, or cell phones.
What Was That?
5) Adolescents have gotten used to getting information instantly on cell phones and other digital media. They don’t need to retain the information they have read. The answer to any question can be found with a few quick clicks on their smartphones. With each click, there is a response. It’s a reward of some kind. But researchers state that there is a risk for young people. Their brains are still developing. They are becoming used to constantly switching tasks. It makes them unable to focus. Michael Rich, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, said, “Their brains are rewarded not for staying on task but for jumping to the next thing.”
