1. The correct answer is C, French. French should be capitalized because it s is a language and languages are always capitalized.

2. A pronoun is a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants or to someone else mentioned. Some examples include I, you, he, she, and it. This means the correct answer is A, because her is referring to a girl.

3. An action verb is a verb that expresses physical or mental action. A linking verb does not describe an action, but describes the subject by connecting it to an adjective or noun. Some examples of a linking verb include being, seem, and was. The verb in this sentence is looks, which can function as both an action verb or a linking verb. In this case, the correct answer is B, a linking verb, as the weather is not physically looking at something, but rather the weather is linking to cold and dreary.

4. An interjection is used to convey emotions. They can stand alone or be used before or after a sentence. The correct answer is C, yikes. It is the only word that can be used alone and it also conveys emotion.

5. Assuming the italicized adverb is very, the correct answer is C, sorry. An adverb describes a verb, an adjective or another adverb. It tells when, where, how, or how often. In this case, very is modifying sorry, because it shows how sorry the person is.

6. Assuming the italicized word is over, the correct answer is A, an adverb. Over can be used as either an adverb or a preposition depending on the context. In this particular sentence, it is used as an adverb because it is not followed by any other essential word or phrase along with it. We could just say, "Why don't you come over?" and the sentence would still makes sense. An example of over used as a preposition is, "The rabbit jumps over the hole." In this case, over is used as a preposition because we need to know what the rabbit jumped over.

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds, in which the crowd begins to disperse just before the first martian exits the cylinder.when i returned to the common the sun was setting. scattered groups were hurrying from the direction of woking, and one or two persons were returning. the crowd about the pit had increased, and stood out black against the lemon yellow of the sky—a couple of hundred people, perhaps. there were raised voices, and some sort of struggle appeared to be going on about the pit. strange imaginings passed through my mind. as i drew nearer i heard stent's voice: "keep back! keep back! "a boy came running towards me."it's a-movin'," he said to me as he passed; 'a-screwin' and a-screwin' out. i don't like it. i'm a-goin' 'ome, i am."what options accurately depict the impact of the boy's words on pacing within the excerpt? (select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe setting is in england, so the boy's words provide the reader with the dialect of the area. even though that slows down the plot, the boy's words contain important information.the plot's forward movement is slow at the beginning of the excerpt because there is little action. the boy's words increase the tension and counteract that lag.the narrator is not close enough to see clearly into the pit, so the boy's words provide the narrator with the information he needs, which moves the plot forward.the boy's words serve to speed up the pacing of the plot because, as he is talking to the narrator, he is running past him to get away.the narrator is not close enough to see clearly into the pit, so the boy's words provide the narrator with the information he needs, which moves the plot forward.wrong? the boy's words serve to speed up the pacing of the plot because, as he is talking to the narrator, he is running past him to get away.
