Which of the following words meaning "clever" has a negative connotation?
A. shrewd
B. witty
C. ingenious
D. devious
Answer:
I would vote for D. Devious
Explanation:
A negative connotation is a bad feeling you get when you hear a certain word. Although I'm unsure, most people get bad feeling about someone if they are said to be devious. While C. Ingenious (which was the first answer) would be a positive connotation. If a negative Connotation gives off a bad feeling on someone then a positive connotation would be the opposite.? In addition, Ingenious is often associated with someone being incredibly smart or you just came up with the "ingenious" plan to sneak food at 2AM.

What theme of the play hamlet is apparent in these lines
Answer:
Greed
Explanation:
Answer: The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
This passage is a conversation between Hamlet and Horatio. They are talking about death. Hamlet thinks that no matter your position in life, no matter whether you are a noble man or an ordinary citizen, everyone ends up being dirt. and, in turn, converted to something else.
In this passage, Hamlet provides two examples of this line of reasoning. First, The Great Alexander died and he is buried. He then becomes dirt, dirt becomes mud. He asks himself if Alexander can end up being a "beer barrel." Second, with the same logical reasoning, he mentions the emperor Caesar. Hamlet can't believe that such ruler can end up as being something that "might stop a hole to keep the wind away."

Choosing the correct verb for a sentence depends on whether the subject is singular or plural, and pronouns must agree with their antecedents in number and gender. For example, 'Jordan hangs the picture' uses the singular verb 'hangs' because Jordan is a singular subject, and 'The hammers pound the nails' uses the plural verb 'pound' because hammers is a plural subject. Correct pronoun usage also enhances sentence clarity, as seen in the revision of gender-neutral pronouns.
When dealing with sentences that require the correct use of pronouns and verbs, it is essential to determine whether the subject is singular or plural. This will dictate which verb form should be used. The use of subjects and pronouns should also be in agreement to ensure the sentence is grammatically correct. Here are some examples of how to choose the right verb and pronoun in a sentence:
Jordan (hangs) the picture upside down above his futon. (He, singular subject, requires the singular verb \'hangs\").Starry Night (contains) eleven stars and one swirling moon. (It, singular subject, hence the singular verb \'contains\").The hammers (pound) the nails until each corner is flush against the wall. (They, plural subject, use the plural verb \'pound\").Van Gogh's sister (takes) most of the credit for his genius. (She, singular subject, requires the singular verb \'takes\").The yellows in the painting (swirl) around the blue sky. (They, plural subject, therefore the plural verb \'swirl\").Careful use of pronouns is also key to the clarity of a sentence. Examples of the correct use of pronouns would include:
If anyone sees a problem, they should report it immediately. (The pronoun \'they\' is more gender-neutral and inclusive.)Neither excessive heat nor cold will damage the crop unless it lasts for weeks. (The subject \'crop\' is singular, so the pronoun \'it\' is appropriate.)It's time to study grammar. (This is a contraction for \'it is\").A sentence with the word abundantly in it
Answer:He made it abundantly clear that anybody who disagrees with his policies will not last long
Explanation:
The exposition must be revealed by monologue rather than by dialogue.
True or False?
Answer:
false
Explanation:
Final answer:
The statement is false; dialogue is a fundamental tool for revealing exposition, helping to unveil backstory and character context in a natural way throughout a narrative.
Explanation:
The statement that the exposition must be revealed by monologue rather than by dialogue is false. Dialogue plays a crucial role in revealing the backstory and exposition in a narrative. Characters interact with each other to uncover details about the past, their relationships, and the setting, which is essential for the audience to understand the story's context.
Conversely, a monologue or soliloquy can certainly convey exposition but typically focuses on a character's inner thoughts and feelings rather than an interactive exposition.
Exposition through dialogue often feels more natural and helps maintain the pacing and rhythm of a narrative. It's an opportunity to use subtext and character actions to show rather than tell. This can lead to a more engaging and dynamic story, as the audience pieces together information from different character interactions.
For example, a character might reveal something of their background in dialogue with another character to establish context, without the need for a direct monologue. In a well-crafted narrative, each line of dialogue can serve multiple purposes, such as building character, advancing the plot, and revealing exposition.
