Answer:

Answer:

first person to show a single perspective.

to tell an old story from a new point of view.

with Grendel acting as a first-person narrator.

Explanation:

The narrator is also the main character and the pronoun "I" is the one most used, so the story is told in the first person. So we can see now how an old story is different when told from someone else's perspective, in this case, Grendel's.

Della wriggled off the table and went for him."Jim, darling," she cried, "don't look at me that way. I had my hair cut off and sold because I couldn't have lived through Christmas without giving you a present. It'll grow out again—you won't mind, will you? I just had to do it. My hair grows awfully fast. Say ‘Merry Christmas!' Jim, and let's be happy. You don't know what a nice—what a beautiful, nice gift I've got for you."

"You've cut off your hair?" asked Jim, laboriously, as if he had not arrived at that patent fact yet even after the hardest mental labor.

"Cut it off and sold it," said Della. "Don't you like me just as well, anyhow? I'm me without my hair, ain't I?"

Jim looked about the room curiously.

"You say your hair is gone?" he said, with an air almost of idiocy.

"You needn't look for it," said Della. "It's sold, I tell you—sold and gone, too. It's Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it went for you. Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered," she went on with sudden serious sweetness, "but nobody could ever count my love for you. Shall I put the chops on, Jim?"

Out of his trance Jim seemed quickly to wake. He enfolded his Della. For ten seconds let us regard with discreet scrutiny some inconsequential object in the other direction. Eight dollars a week or a million a year—what is the difference? A mathematician or a wit would give you the wrong answer. The magi brought valuable gifts, but that was not among them. This dark assertion will be illuminated later on.

Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table.

"Don't make any mistake, Dell," he said, "about me. I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less. But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first."

White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat.

For there lay The Combs—the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jeweled rims—just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.

But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim!"

And then Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!"

Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit.

"Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."

Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled.

"Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

The magi, as you know, were wise men—wonderfully wise men—who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.

Which sentence contains a split infinitive? it is important to wear plenty of sunscreen at an outdoor swim meet. the coach tells the swimmers how to improve their performance. parents drive to the local swim club so they can watch the competition. swimmers must be sure to completely follow all of the team guidelines.?

Answers

Split infinitive is a grammatical construction in a sentence where an adverb is placed between the infinitive ‘to’ and the verb. The sentence that contains a split infinitive here is option D: swimmers must be sure to completely followall of the team guidelines.

Split infinitive usage

The above answer is explained in further detail as given below:

  • In case of an infinitive, the word ‘to’ is used followed by the first form of the verb. For example: to read.

  • In split infinitive, the phrase is split, and an adverb is inserted between the words.

  • In the fourth option, ‘to completely follow’ is the example of the usage of split infinitive.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Swimmers must be sure to completely follow all of the team guidelines.

Further Explanation:

A Split Infinitive is a “grammatical construction” in which a “word” or a “phrase” comes between the word ‘to’ and the bare infinitive of the word ‘to’ leads towards the formation of the infinitive verb. Most of the time, it is an adverb or an adverbial phrase that comes between them. If we talk about old English, split infinitives were the single words which ended in –n or –an and it was ‘Gerunds’ which were formed using word ‘to’ followed by a verbal noun in the dative case and if we talk about Middle English, the bare infinitive and the gerund coalesced into the same form.  

The objections in the split infinitive fall into three categories which are the descriptivist objection, the argument from the full infinitive and the argument from classical languages. From the above-given examples from the question, option D is the one that contains split Infinitive.
