What is the chain of events driven by conflict and decision making in a text? plot characterization setting theme

Answers

The correct answer is plot.


Plot is what happens in a particular story - the events that occur, what the characters are doing, how the story begins and ends, etc. The plot of a particular story is affected by various characters, what they argue about, what they decide to do - everything moves the plot forward.

It is the plot of a text that is driven by conflict and decision making, although in some stories this is not the case. In almost all fiction this is true, however.

n at least two to three paragraphs, write an essay where you analyze the tone the character Marullus uses to express his interpretation of Caesar's return. Then explain how this is similar or different from the interpretation the painter has depicted? Use specific examples to support your observations. Use proper spelling and grammar.

Answers



His tone is that of someone that is worried or even alarmed at Caesar’s return after he defeated his rival and also former co-ruler Pompey. Marullus knew that this victory would mean that Caesar will be the most powerful man in Rome. For this same reason he felt in a very dangerous position. He assumed that Caesar would soon impose one-man rule. Marullus joins Flavius who feels the same way to try and put a stop to Caesar.  It is clear that the interpretation the painter has depicted is very different. This is apparent when you compare the painting to the word that Marullus himself used to describe the return of Caesar. In the painting it seems as though Marullus is impressed by Caesar’s feat. I believe he was just putting up a front while deep down he felt disgusted just looking at caesar in his glory moment. hope this helps

Which sentence uses a verb that agrees with its compound subject? A. A saw and a drill is important for a carpenter's work. B. Those suitcases and this trunk have traveled many miles. C. Cathy and Beth takes the bus to ballet lessons. D. Now either freezers or a refrigerator keep food fresh.

Answers

The answer is letter B. 
 
B.Those suitcases and thistrunk have traveled many miles.   
 
The rule of subject-verb agreement is to make the subject andverb agree. If the subject is plural, the verb should also be plural. If thesubject is singular, the verb should also be singular. In letter B, the compound subject “suitcases”grammatically agree with the plural verb “have”. The rest of the choices do notfollow the subject-verb agreement rule at all.
