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.

In question 1, I believe the answer would be (a.), with a determined spirit. In the end of both poems they both think more positive and try to get better.

In question 2, I think it would be (c.), "winced," "cried aloud," "bloody, but not unbowed". This contributes to physical imagery because you can picture the character in this story the best with this line. I also think that this would be the best for imagery overall.

As for question 3, I am not quite sure. I am positive these are correct, but i'm not 100% sure. Good luck!

In "My Old Home," what is the main reason that the narrator's mother is somewhat sad when he returns home?

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

She is sad because the narrator's return means that the moment has come when she will need to leave the house where she lived for many years and has many memories.

Explanation:

"My Old Home," shows the moment when the narrator returns to his hometown, after 20 years, to help his family move to another home. The house where the narrator grew up is no longer of the same quality and needs to be abandoned. The narrator feels strange when reviewing the house, because he no longer has the emotional attachment to this place and does not feel that this is his house. He realizes that his mother is also a little sad, probably because she lived in this house for many years and leaving for another house, causes her to leave many precious memories behind.

The men Montag meets at the end of the story are "living libraries." How are they preserving the knowledge that their civilizati

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

These living libraries preserve knowledge by studying memory books.

Explanation:

Your question refers to the book Fahrenheit 541 by Ray Bradbury.

These men who are living libraries preserve the knowledge they believe is necessary for the future. It is important that they do this because if they don't, that knowledge will die forever.

They plan to pass the books on to their children, knowing that much of that information will be lost but still very useful.

Each man had a book that he wanted to remember and it was thus that over the years they were setting up an organization.

Let's look at the following quote:

<em>"And when the war's over, some day, some year, the books can be written again, the people will be called in, one by one, to recite what they know and we'll set it up in type until another Dark Age, when we might have to do the whole thing over again. "</em>
