Is the highlighted verb correct or incorrect if the speaker had been on time, the program would have begun on time.

Answers

Answer:

From the given sentence and question, no verb is highlighted, but from the sentence, "If the speaker had been on time, the program would have begun on time", you can see that there is tautology as the word "on time" is used twice in the sentence when it could have been used only once.

Therefore, to correct this tautology, the sentence can be rewritten as: "If the speaker had been on time, the program would have begun early".

As a result of this, there is no incorrect verb form in the sentence, so it is safe to assume that the highlighted verb is correct.

Read the following lines from Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote, in which the
main character attacks a windmill on his horse, Rocinante. Also, compare thetext with the illustration of the same scene by Gustave Doré.
[Don Quixote) charged at Rocinante's fullest gallop and fell upon the first mill that stood in front of him; but as he
drove his lance point into the sail the wind whirled i round
with such force that it shivered the lance to pieces, - sweeping with it horse and rider, who went rolling over on the plain, in a sorry condition.
What is one distinction between the text and the illustration that is a result of the difference in medium?
O A. The image shows the scene from directly in front of Don Quixote.
O B. The image focuses on the lance piercing the sail of the windmill.
O C. The text specifies that Don Quixote attacked the windmill first.
O D. The text indicates the sequence of events before the mishap.

Answers

Answer:The text indicates the sequence of events before the mishap. So D

Explanation: Only because each other answer is focusing on what’s happening right there and that moment or just explaining the text or image, the questions is asking for a difference so I assumed is D

"Stars, hide your fires, Let not light see my black and deep desires."

He wants to conquer the neighboring lands of Scotland and make Lady
Macbeth the queen.
He does not want stars to shine as people will find him guilty of killing the
King.
He does not want the world to know his desire to become the king of
Duncan.

Answers

Answer:

What Macbeth means by those lines is:

D. He does not want the world to know his desire to become the king of Duncan.

Explanation:

Famous poet and playwright William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) is the author of the masterpiece that is "Macbeth". This play tells the bloody story of Scottish general Macbeth and his wife's thirst for power. After being told by three witches that he will one day become king, the ambitious and murderous Macbeth starts acting to make the prophecy come true.

In the lines "Stars, hide your fires, Let not light see my black and deep desires," Macbeth is basically saying he wants his deepest and darkest wishes to remain unknown to others. He does not want them to come to light - light, in this case, serving as a metaphor to something being out in the open, known to everyone. Macbeth is evil, but he understands that his wishes are wrong.
