HURRY I NEED THIS ASAP IN 15MIN TOPS!!! EASY POINTS!!!THE MATCH There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match. Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble. In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. Read this sentence from the text: A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. How does this line develop the main idea of the essay? It shows the difficulty of depending on nature. It shows that matches were not safe. It shows how humans could not start fire. It shows how humans were careless with fire.
Read the following excerpt from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 147 and fill in the blanks in the paragraph.My love is as a fever, longing still For that which longer nurseth the disease, Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill, Th’uncertain sickly appetite to please. My reason, the physician to my love, Angry that his prescriptions are not kept, Hath left me, and I, desperate, now approve Desire is death, which physic did except. The speaker compares his love to a disease that is an (epidemic) (uncontrolled) (difficult to detect) (carefully treated) . He goes on to say that even though love is destroying his (sanity) (well-being) (health) (wealth) , he continues to (love) (fantasize) (hallucinate) (waste away) . He uses (simile) (metaphor) (personification) (hyperbole) to portray reason, who, he says is angry at the speaker for not adopting its prescriptions. Thus reason has left him, and the poet agrees that the desire for love is equal to (death) (madness) (illness) (disease) .

In general, when adding a suffix to a word that ends in a vowel plus the letter y, you should?

Answers

Answer:

In general, when adding a suffix to a word that ends in a vowel plus the letter y, do not drop the y before adding a suffix.

Explanation:

A suffix, also known as postfix,  refers to an affix that is attached to a word to create a new word with a different meaning. Reason why they are commonly called afformatives since they can alter the form of the words.

In the particular case of adding a suffix to a word that end in y you should:  change the y to i before a suffix if the word ends in y before a consonant. On the other hand, if the word ends in y before a vowel, do not drop the y before adding a suffix.
play + ing = playing You just add the suffix without making any change
betray + al =betrayal
