The Salinas Valley is in Northern California. It is a long narrow swale between two ranges of mountains, and the Salinas River winds and twists up the center until it falls at last into Monterey Bay.I remember my childhood names for grasses and secret flowers. I remember where a toad may live and what time the birds awaken in the summer—and what trees and seasons smelled like—how people looked and walked and smelled even. The memory of odors is very rich.

b.

d.

Answers

The answer is: C. dry, twilit limbo.

In the poem "The Hollow Men,! by T. S. Eliot, the men gather on the banks of a "tumid" river:

"In this last of meeting places

We grope together

And avoid speech

Gathered on this beach of the tumid river"

The men are close to one another without saying a word - they are unable to seek God's redemption. As a result, their souls are stranded betweel hell and heaven.

For which of the following situations would you double the final consonant in a base word before adding a suffix?A. when the suffix begins with a consonant

B. when the base word ends with two vowels and a consonant

C. when the base word ends with two consonants

D. when the base word ends with consonant + vowel + consonant and the suffix begins with a vowel

Answers

The situation wherein you would double the final consonant in a base word before adding a suffix is option D. When the base word ends with consonant + vowel + consonant and the suffix begins with a vowel. For example: the word, "FAT" when we add the suffix -er and -est, it becomes "fatter" and "fattest". The letter "T" is doubled, then add the vowel suffix.

Answer:

D. when the base word ends with consonant + vowel + consonant and the suffix begins with a vowel

Explanation:

If you study English, you have heard of words ending in "consonant + vowel + consonant" (or CVC). These endings have a simple half rule: when the suffix begins with a vowel, the last consonant of the base word must be duplicated. Example: The base word is "stop" and the word "ed", when you add the base word with the suffix, the last letter "p" of the base word must be duplicated, becoming "stopped".
