Answer:

D

Explanation:

When she arrived at the concert hall, the singer walked through a crowd of cheering fans. Crowd is the word is a preposition. Thus, option D is correct.

A preposition is a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause. In the given sentence, there are two prepositions: "at" which object is "the concert hall" and "through" (through can be a preposition, an adverb or an adjective, but when it is followed by a noun, it is a preposition) which object is "crowd."

A preposition is a word used to connect a word, such as a noun, to another word. It usually comes after a noun and is followed by an article or a pronoun. As prepositions are a closed word class, they are limited in number. One of these prepositions is "over", which is included in the sentence provided.

"Over" is introducing the prepositional phrase "over the old bridge", which also contains the object of the preposition. Most times, the object of the preposition is a noun:  in the case of this prepositional phrase, the noun "bridge" is acting as the object.

Thus, option D is correct.

My mom is always repeating the same old joke: if your friends all jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too? Of course not. But I get what she means. She's talking about peer pressure. Teenagers like us live with it every day. Pretty much every kid wants to be liked, to have friends, to be popular. No one wants people to think they aren't cool. While peer pressure is tough, giving in to it and getting in trouble is tougher.

But teenagers are still learning to make good decisions. Like this one time my friend Harold wanted to take his dad's prized Jeep Grand Cherokee for a drive. Harold was 13, and he'd never driven a car before. But he figured he knew enough about operating a motor vehicle just by watching his parents drive. When his parents were out of town one weekend, Harold invited me and some of our friends over to his house so he could take us for a drive. I said, "Not me," because I knew it was a stupid thing to do. I told him and everybody else what I thought of the idea. (Driving isn't easy. It took my big brother weeks to get the hang of it.) Harold got mad and told me I was being a chicken. I said, "I'd rather be a chicken than get in an accident and have a broken leg."

5. The bedbugs in Paul Bunyan's camp were a thousand times more unpleasant than regular
bedbugs. Lumberjacks are tough. The bed bugs that fed on lumberjacks became the toughest
bed bugs in the world. These bugs would swallow a whole bed, pillow and all, more easily than
you or I would eat a sandwich. Paul thought that the best thing to do with the bugs was to train
them to haul logs. Each bed bug was more vicious than a runaway buzzsaw. Taming them was
impossible. Paul Bunyan isn't one to admit defeat. He decided to try the bed bugs on a new diet.
Instead of lumberjack blood, Paul fed them wildcat teeth and dynamite. The bed bugs shrank
until each wasn't any bigger than a medium-sized moose. When Paul saw how tiny the bogs
had gotten, he stamped his foot in glee and accidentally squashed them all.

Read these excerpts from Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist and identify the meaning of the words in bold based on their context.
Now. Mr.Bumble was a fat man, and a choleric so, instead of responding to this open-hearted salutation in a kindred spirit, he gave the little
wicket a tremendous shake, and then bestowed upon it a kick which could have emanated from no leg but a beadle's.
Oliver, having had by this time as much of the outer coat of dirt which encrusted his face and hands, removed, as could be scrubbed off in
one washing, was led into the room by his benevolent protectress.
The boys polished them with their spoons till they shone again; and when they had performed this operation (which never took very long, the
spoons being nearly as large as the bowls), they would sit staring at the copper with such eager eyes, as if they could have devoured the very
bricks of which it was composed; employing themselves, meanwhile, in sucking their fingers most assiduously, with the view of catching up
any stray splashes of gruel that might have been cast thereon.
