havoc \ha-vak, -vikl noun 1. Widespread destruction. 2. Great confusion or
disorder. Middle English havok, from Anglo-French, modification of Old French
havot plunder.

meander \mē-an-der\ verb 1. To have a lot of curves instead of going in a
straight or direct line. 2. To walk slowly without a specific goal, purpose, or
direction. 3. To go from one topic to another without any clear direction. Latin
maeander, from Greek malandros, from Malandros, the name of a river.

pristine pris- tēn, pri-stên\ adjective 1. In perfect condition. 2. Completely
clean, fresh, neat. 3. Not changed by people. Latin pristinus; akin to Latin
prior

subside \sab-sidl verb 1. To become less strong or intense. 2. To move
down to a lower level. Latin subsidere, from sub + sidere to sit down, sink;
akin to Latin sedere to sit.

Read this passage:
Ava screamed when she saw the havoc the new puppy had created in
her room. Muddy paw prints covered her pristine white bedspread.
Apparently, the puppy had escaped from his crate and meandered
around her room chewing up any item he found. However, as soon as
those sweet puppy eyes and floppy ears bounded back into her
bedroom, her anger subsided.

According to the dictionary entries, which word most likely means weakened?

A. havoc
B. pristine
C. meander
D. subside

Answers

Answer:

D. subside

Explanation:

Weakened is a word that means that something has less strength or power. From all the options, the most suitable was subside, where the two definitions of the word meant losing intensity or go a level down.

The other options are incorrect since havoc means destruction, meader means zigzag and pristine means in perfect condition. None of these words have a similar meaning to weakened.

We can see with the passage that the word "subside" meant that her anger moved down to a lower level due to the cuteness of the puppy.

ead the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 2, scene 1. CASSIUS. But it is doubtful yet, Whether Caesar will come forth today or no; For he is superstitious grown of late,750 Quite from the main opinion he held once Of fantasy, of dreams and ceremonies: It may be these apparent prodigies, The unaccustomed terror of this night, And the persuasion of his augurers,755 May hold him from the Capitol today. DECIUS. Never fear that. If he be so resolved I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear That unicorns may be betrayed with trees, And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,760 Lions with toils, and men with flatterers; But when I tell him he hates flatterers; He says he does, being then most flattered. Let me work; For I can give his humour the true bent, And I will bring him to the Capitol.765 Which conclusion does this excerpt best support

Answers

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the excerpt is the same, I will omit it:

Which conclusion does this excerpt best support?  

a Decius will entertain Caesar with stories to keep him home.

b Just as Cassius fears, Caesar will not come to the Capitol.

c The bad weather will make Caesar decide to stay at home.

d Decius strongly believes that he can get Caesar to go to the Capitol.

Answer:

The conclusion best supported by the excerpt is:

d. Decius strongly believes that he can get Caesar to go to the Capitol.

Explanation:

Decius is telling Cassius to not worry about Caesar not coming to the Capitol. Decius is confident that he can change Caesar's mind. He clearly has a way with words, being able to deceive and persuade. He gives an interesting example, saying that he flatters Caesar by telling him that he (Caesar) hates flatterers. He knows what Caesar likes to hear, so it is easy for him to convince him to do something.

"Julius Caesar" is a play by William Shakespeare based on the story of the Roman emperor. Caesar is betrayed and killed by his friends.

Which of these statements is punctuated properly?

A)"Your friend, she said," "is waiting for you."
B) "Your friend" she said 'is waiting for you."
C)"Your friend," she said, "is waiting for you."
D)"Your friend, she said, is waiting for you."

Answers

Answer:

C) "Your friend," she said, "is waiting for you."

Explanation:

Punctuation is the use of certain signs and writing forms to make a sentence correct and presentable. And in punctuation, it includes the use of commas, or any punctuation marks and capitalization in a sentence, to make it right.

Among the given sentences, the correct punctuated sentence is option C. This is because the sentence given in the direct speech requires the use of inverted commas to signify the speech. At the same time, the comma after 'friend' denotes that the speech is continuing. And the insertion of 'she said' in between the full direct speech requires the quoted speech to be on pause and not stopped with a period (.).

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Identify the parts of speech mentioned in brackets in the following sentence.

I don’t think it was a difficult test. In fact, I think it was quite easy. (Adverbs)

Answers

Answer:

Quite.

Explanation:

An adverb is one of the parts of speech in English language and it can be defined as a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Some examples are slowly, quickly, brightly, sadly, etc.

Hence, the word "quite" in the statement; "I don’t think it was a difficult test. In fact, I think it was quite easy." is an adverb.

In this scenario, quite modifies the adjective easy and it simply means the test was not difficult.

Upon graduating, he went on to Cambridge University for postgraduate studies|in cosmology (the study of the universe). At age 21, Stephen started to stumble and drop things. His speech became slurred. Doctors diagnosed him with ALS, a disease that left him mostly paralyzed. His illness did not affect his brilliant mind. Stephen did not let his disability keep him from what he wanted to accomplish in life. He got married and had children. He went on to become a world-renowned physicist and best-selling author.
