Jack waited patiently for his turn at bat. What verb does the adverb modify?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The verb waited is being modified by patiently.

Explanation:

Hi!

Alright so how I identify adverbs and verbs is by removing them to see if the sentence makes sense.

If you remove an adverb the sentence will still make sense.

If you remove just a verb then it will make no sense.

For example :

"I will eat later."

The adverb here is later.

And the verb is eat.

If you remove the adverb you get :

"I will eat" which is less descriptive but still makes sense.

If you remove the verb you get :

"I will later" which doesn't really mean anything. You don't know what is going on later and the statement on its own makes no sense.

Lets use this for your given sentence and remove some things to identify the adverb and verb.

Jack waited patiently for his turn at bat.

Removing waited :

Jack patiently for his turn at bat.

This makes no sense which means it is a verb.

Lets try removing bat :

Jack patiently waited for his turn at.

This makes no sense which means it is a verb.

If you're wondering about patiently lets try removing that.

Removing patiently :

Jack waited for his turn at bat.

This is the adverb cause this sentence still makes sense.

So pretty much here patiently is the adverb and this modifies the verb waited.

Since patiently is describing the verb waiting.

Waiting patiently.

The verb waited is being modified by patiently.

I hope this helps!

The statement that provides the best summary of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto is: "All of humanity's struggles have been struggles between the richer classes and the poorer classes." (Option A)

What is the summary of the Manifesto put forward by Karl Max?

The Communist Manifesto represents an attempt to explain both the aims of Communism and the ideology that underpins this movement.

It contends that class battles, or the oppression of one class by another, drive all historical processes.

Hence, it is correct to state that according to Karl Max, many of the problems in the world today emanate from the huge income divide.

Using at least three quotes from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet as evidence, describe the internal conflict felt by Juliet before she takes the Friar's vial of dubious poison. Ex.

"A quote from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet" - This quote shows the internal conflict of Juliet before she takes the poison because.... "A quote from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet" - This quote shows the internal conflict of Juliet before she takes the poison because.... Then in 3-4 sentences explain what you would have done in Juliet's situation. Would you have followed the Friar's plan? Would you have simply run away?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

"Juliet- Oh! Close the door soon! And after you have closed it, come and cry with me too. There is no hope, no medicine, no help." This quote shows Juliet's internal conflict because she is on the eve of her marriage to Paris, and she is already married to Romeo.

"Juliet - Oh! Tell me to throw myself off the battlements of that tower, but in marriage to the count do not speak; or invite me to walk on the roads of robbers, or to hide in nests of snakes; tie me up with bears roars; in a ram you shut me up at night, full of human bones, [...] "This quote shows Juliet's internal conflict, because it shows that she would rather suffer than marry Paris.

"Juliet - [...] What if, after being in the grave, I wake up, without Romeo arriving to save me? Oh horrible case! I will not be asphyxiated inside the grave, whose filthy mouth does not breathe healthy air, and, thus, suffocated dying without my Romeo coming? Or if I live, it will not be very plausible that that image of blackness and death, associated with the dread of the point itself - a sepulcher, a ram where there are hundreds of my ancestors; since a little bloody Tebaldo, decomposing in his white shroud [...] "This quote shows Juliet's internal conflict because she fears that Romeo will not vape it or be afraid to enter the tomb, leaving her suffocated dying , slowly.

In Juliet's place, I would not have followed through with the Friar's plan, nor would I have run away. Since this was a completely dead end situation, I would tell my family that I had already married Romeo, that the marriage was already finished and there was nothing more to be done.

On October 30, 1938, Americans tuned in to an adapted broadcast of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds. The broadcast, which announced a Martian invasion of New Jersey, quickly gained popularity due to reports of widespread panic as many Americans believed the country was being invaded by aliens. How would such a report be different if the aliens are the ones telling the story? For this journal entry, place yourself in the position of the Selenites and write a newscast reporting on the arrival of Mr. Bedford and Mr. Cavor on the moon. Include relevant details from the text in your newscast.

why are books obsolete today in 4 sentences​

Answers

Answer:

See explanation!

Explanation:

Books are becoming obsolete due to the constant growth in technology. Children and adults alike are choosing to spend their time on the internet as opposed to reading books. This has caused potential authors to become discouraged from pursuing a career in writing, leading to a decrease in the amount of books being published over time. Overall, books are becoming a medium of the past and an increase in reading is unlikely as long as technology continues to develop and advance in the future.

Tiana's Scar by Maria Kane
When she was five years old, Tiana was bitten by Rex, her uncle's dog. The bite left a small
scar on Tiana's finger.
Now 11, Tiana still avoids dogs wherever she goes. Every morning, Tiana walks an extra
block to school to avoid walking by her neighbor's dog, Millie. Millie lies quietly behind a
locked gate and doesn't bark much, but Tiana insists on avoiding the dog at all costs.
When her best friend, Kim, laughed at Tiana's extra hike one morning, Tiana exclaimed,
"I don't care what you think! Passing a ferocious beast is not how I want to start my day.”
"OK, calm down, Tiana," Kim responded as Tiana rushed away angrily.
