Victor Frankenstein continues recounting the influences that lead to his great experiment: An accident again changed the current of my ideas. When I was about fifteen years old we had retired to our house near Belrive, when we witnessed a most violent and terrible thunderstorm. It advanced from behind the mountains of Jura, and the thunder burst at once with frightful loudness from various quarters of the heavens. I remained, while the storm lasted, watching its progress with curiosity and delight. As I stood at the door, on a sudden I beheld a stream of fire issue from an old and beautiful oak which stood about twenty yards from our house; and so soon as the dazzling light vanished, the oak had disappeared, and nothing remained but a blasted stump. When we visited it the next morning, we found the tree shattered in a singular manner. It was not splintered by the shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribbons of wood. I never beheld anything so utterly destroyed. What does the author do for the reader in this passage

Write two to three sentences describing the effects of Pope’s use of repetition in the passage.

Answers

Answer:

Pope uses repetition in this passage: "He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest; In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast; In doubt his mind or body to prefer." the words "In doubt" are repeated at the beginning of each short phrase.  This repetition emphasizes the fact that the character described is constantly in "doubt".  The repetition also portrays the character described in between two situations: in doubt to act, or rest.  Always two opposite situations divided by the word "doubt", like the option of having to take one of two roads but taking neither because of doubt.  This generates the effect of being stagnant and paralyzed by doubt.

They watched the movie yesterday into past perfect form​

Answers

Answer:

After changing the sentence into the past perfect form, we have:

They had watched the movie (yesterday).

Explanation:

The past perfect tense is used to express actions that took place in the past before another action that also took place in the past. Take a look at the timeline below:

-----------------I -----------------I -----------------I-----------------I

              past perf.         s. past          s. present       future

The structure of the past perfect is: subject + had + verb (past participle). It is commonly used in sentences that also use the simple past, precisely because the past perfect expresses the action that took place first. For example:

- I had already called you twice when you finally showed up.

In the sentence we are changing here, I placed the adverb of time "yesterday" inside parentheses because it is usually employed with the simple past. However, depending on the context, it is possible for it to be used with the past perfect:

They had watched the movie (yesterday).

But it sounds better if we change "yesterday":

They had watched the movie the day before.

Both sentences would be correct.

What are the adjective in this sentence: three riders rode the church bus Sunday. the kind, helpful policeman showed us where to park.

Answers

Answer:

Kind and helpful.

Explanation:

An adjective is one of the parts of speech in English language and it can be defined as a word that qualifies or describes a noun in a sentence. Some examples of an adjective are big, small, happy, tall, short, fat, rambunctious, etc.

In English language, there are three (3) forms of adjectives and these includes;

I. Positive adjectives: it is the simplest form of an adjective that expresses the quality of a physical object, person, place, etc., without comparison.

II. Comparative adjectives: it is used for comparing two things, person or place. Signal word such as more is used for comparison or the suffix "er" is added to the adjective.

III. Superlative adjectives: it is used to show that a person or thing has a greater degree of quality than two or more other persons or things. Thus, it is used for comparing three or more people, things, place, etc.

Hence, the adjectives in the aforementioned statement are kind and helpful because it qualifies or describes the quality of the policeman.

Why does Reldresal believe that his people face "the danger of an invasion" from outside? Cite specific evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

This question concerns the novel "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift.

Reldresal is the principal secretary of Lilliput, one of the strange lands where the main character Gulliver ends up at. Lilliput is inhabited by people who are less than 6 inches tall. Lilliputians spend most of their time discussing trivial matters, and their sense of justice is quite odd.

According to Reldresal, Lilliput faces the possibility of an invasion by Blefuscu, which is also inhabited by tiny people. Lilliput and Blefuscu have engaged in quite a dangerous argument as to whether an egg should be broken on its small side or the large side to be eaten. Both peoples are clearly worried with petty issues. The evidence taken from the book is the following:

Lilliput is "threatened with an invasion from the island of Blefuscu, which is the other great empire of the universe." Blefuscu has "equipped a numerous fleet, [who] are just preparing to make a descent upon us."
