uncle
man
portrait

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is man. Adjective clauses are relative clauses that come immediately after the noun they modify and are introduced by a relative pronoun (that, which, who, whose, etc.) which connects the clause to the noun being described. In the example, the adjective clause whose portrait hangs comes after the noun man; consequently, it modifies the word man.
Answer 2
Answer: This adjective clause, 'whose portrait hangs' refers to, or modifies 'man'.

the correct answer here is: you. Specifically, it's "an understood you" - answer C.

The ability of writers to completely identify with their characters is A. negative capability.
B. satire.
C. ambiguity.
D. hypocrisy.

Answers

The answer is A - negative capability. It is not a satire, because that means it is a mockery or ridicule of some sorts. It is not ambiguity either, because that means it doesn't have an obvious meaning, it isn't clear. "Hypocrisy" basically means pretending that you are something you are not. Thus, this leaves us with the only option - negative capability.
