Which of these words is an example of an absolute adjective

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
Here is an example

You are either 'dead' or not; you can not be 'dead-er' or 'more dead' than someone.

Dead is therefore an example of an absolute adjective - adjectives that can not take a comparative or superlative ('dead-est') form.

Using an absolute adjective in a comparative sentences makes your English sound strange so watch out!

Another example of an absolute adjective is 'unique' because it means 'one of a kind' and, therefore, it can not be 'more unique' than something. It's either 'unique' or it isn't.
Hope this helps!

Read the sentence. mrs. kim told us ancient greek myths about several of the constellations, including many in the northern hemisphere. which words in the sentence are indefinite pronouns?

Answers

The words in this sentence that are indefinite pronouns are several and many, although they aren't exactly used as pronouns in this sentence, but as adjectives. There is another pronoun in the sentence, the word us, but it is a personal pronoun.

In this sentence the indefinite pronouns are "SEVERAL, MANY, and US". As regards "several", it refers to the constellations cited by Mrs. Kim whereas  "many" refers to the myths discussed. In the case of the pronoun "us", even though it is a personal pronoun, it is also indefinite in this context since it does not point out to any particular person.

Which excerpt from The Death of Ivan Ilych can be used as textual evidence to support a thesis statement on the theme of loneliness?There was no deceiving himself: something terrible, new, and more important than anything before in his life, was taking place within him of which he alone was aware. Those about him did not understand or would not understand it, but thought everything in the world was going on as usual.That tormented Ivan Ilych more than anything.
At the law courts too, Ivan Ilych noticed, or thought he noticed, a strange attitude towards himself. It sometimes seemed to him that people were watching him inquisitively as a man whose place might soon be vacant.
Then again, his friends would suddenly begin to chaff him in a friendly way about his low spirits, as if the awful, horrible, and unheard-of thing that was going on within him, incessantly gnawing at him and irresistibly drawing him away, was a very agreeable subject for jests.
Ivan Ilych settled down very pleasantly in this new town. The society there, which inclined towards opposition to the governor was friendly, his salary was larger, and he began to play *vint* [a form of bridge], which he found added not a little to the pleasure of life, for he had a capacity for cards, played good-humouredly, and calculated rapidly and astutely, so that he usually won.
Ivan Ilych was esteemed a good official, and after three years was made Assistant Public Prosecutor. His new duties, their importance, the possibility of indicting and imprisoning anyone he chose, the publicity his speeches received, and the success he had in all these things, made his work still more attractive.

In which sentence does the underlined noun clause function as the object of a preposition?To play different styles of music in my band is what I would like to do.
At concerts, my band plays whichever songs our fans request.
Our group sends whoever requests information a newsletter and a link to our web site.
I will write lyrics to whichever melody you create.

Answers

The object of a preposition is a noun that comes after a preposition, so the sentence that has a noun clause after a preposition is

To play different styles of music in my band is what I would like to do

in: preposition

my band: the noun of the preposition
Assuming that in the last option 'whichever melody you create' is underlined, the correct answer is that one, the last sentence. Because this is the only sentence in which 'to' is used as a preposition, in 2 and 3 there are no prepositions, and in 1 'to' is a part of an infinitive phrase.

What should be placed outside the quotation marks?

The quotation marks are often used to enclose the direct statement that a person has made. Usually, the comma, period, and question mark would be enclosed within the quotation mark.
