In "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note," why did Mark Twain most likely create the character Henry Adams as an American living in England?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Twain likely made Henry Adams an American in England to show how far removed he was from what was viewed as proper English society. As an American he would be considered a backwards outsider that could not possibly fit in. That all changes when he receives the bank-note and then can afford to buy his way into the English society.

Please read the following sentence to answer the question. Sonya, my Mother, owns a bakery, and she makes the best brownies in town. Is the word mother capitalized correctly in the sentence? A. No, because a possessive pronoun comes before the word. B. Yes, since Sonya must be capitalized, so should mother. C. Yes, since Sonya is the owner of the bakery. D. No, because it is a parenthetical element.

The word 'mother' should be capitalised in place of someone's name. However, since you have already mentioned that she is called 'Sonya', the word 'mother' should not be capitalised.

Explanation:

Compound Sentence: A compound sentence is one that has two or more independent clauses linked by a coordinator (which, for, as, and, or, ...)
Complex Sentence: A complex sentence is one that has an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
Complex-Compound Sentence: A compound-complex sentence is composed of two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

“On their back” or “on their backs”?

Answers

♥ "Back" Is referring to one person, and since they do not share a back, then it is not going to be "back"
♥ Now since in this case we are referring to more then one person, i can tell by "their"
♥ then were going to have "backs"
♥ Therefore your answer is "Backs"

The answer is "on their back." Because you are using a plural pronoun you also need to use a plural noun to agree with it. The people aren't sharing one back.

Choose the answer that identifies the gerund phrase. The ringing doorbell was distracting him from answering the phone.
Ringing doorbell
was distracting <
Distracting him from answering the phone
Answering the phone

Answers

The gerund phrase functions as a noun, not a verb: here "was distracting" is a verb, so it can't be part of the Gerund phrase.

Ringing has a function of an adjective, so also not.

The correct answer is "answering the phone" -it could be substituted by "it": from it, so we know that it functions as a verb
