He unclosed his eyes and saw again the water below him. “If I could free my hands,” he thought, “I might throw off the noose and spring into the stream. By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home. My home, thank God, is as yet outside their lines; my wife and little ones are still beyond the invader’s farthest advance.”As these thoughts, which have here to be set down in words, were flashed into the doomed man’s brain rather than evolved from it the captain nodded to the sergeant. The sergeant stepped aside.
Based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The execution will begin.

Explanation:

In these lines, we are never actually told that an execution is about to take place. However, we can assume this from the details in the excerpt. The man tells us that he wants to free his hands. He also tells us that a noose is waiting for him, and that he is planning to scape. Towards the end of the paragraph, we learn that the captain nodded and the sergeant stepped aside, which most likely indicates that the execution will begin.
Answer 2
Answer: He was captured by an invading force and was about to be hanged

What is narrative?

A narrative is a story that is written with great description. a story that has even minute details completely laid out. a summary is just the opposite of a narrative. it tells us about the happening of an event with plot, view, characters, and setting.

In this sentence, Hannah is talking about how she is having a smirk on her face, that she is a trapeze artist and that she has free time. all of this can be found in the narrative, i.e., in-depth description. All these details of her face, job, and timing make a perfect narration. Therefore, option B is the correct option.

Answer : c. Missy Elliott and the Black Eyed Peas

A plural subject refers to two or more subjects in the sentence. In the choices above, "Missy Elliott and the Black Eyed Peas" is the only plural subject. "The cast" is a singular subject while "Miss Prissy or Missy Elliott" is also a singular subject. "The founder" refers to one person thus, a singular subject still which leaves "Missy and Elliott and the Black Eyed Peas" the plura subject because it is made up of two subjects, Missy Elliott and the Black Eyed Peas.
