Answer:

Past perfect progressive

Explanation:

The past perfect continuous tense (also known as the past perfect progressive tense) shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the past. The past perfect progressive tense is constructed using: had been + the verb's present participle (root + -ing).

So the general form of past perfect progressive/continuous is:

Had +been+ verb +ing.

Hope this helps you, have a great day

Answer 2

The sentence "The Cougars had been winning until the third quarter of the game" is in the past perfect progressive tense. The correct option is C.

What is past perfect progressive?

Past perfect progressive (also called past perfect continuous) is a verb tense that is used to describe an ongoing action that started in the past and continued up until another point in the past.

It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had" in the past tense, followed by "been" and the present participle (-ing form) of the main verb. For example, "I had been studying for three hours before I took a break."

The past perfect progressive tense emphasizes the duration of the action and the continuity of the action up to a specific time in the past. It is often used to describe the background of a past event or to show that one action was in progress when another action happened.

Here in the Question,

Option A (past progressive) would be incorrect because it describes an ongoing action in the past without indicating that the action continued up until another point in the past.

Option B (present progressive) would be incorrect because it describes an ongoing action in the present, while the sentence is discussing a past event.

Option D (present perfect progressive) would be incorrect because it describes an ongoing action that started in the past and continued up to the present, whereas the sentence is discussing an action that occurred entirely in the past.

Therefore, The sentence "The Cougars had been winning until the third quarter of the game" is in the (C) past perfect progressive tense. This tense is used to describe an ongoing action that was happening in the past and continued up until another point in the past.

Write the correct poetic device in each sentences. 1. The men at the windows had not yet swooped into the Hall, like birds of prey from their high perches. what poetic device is this. 2. Every green leaf, every blade of grass and blade of grain, was as shriveled and poor as the miserable people. what literary device is this

Answers

Answer:

Simile Metaphor

Explanation:

The simile is the poetic device that allows the comparison of two different things, to form a broad, subjunctive and highly understandable concept by the reader. In the first sentence we can see the comparison between "men in windows" and "birds of prey on perches", two completely different factors, but when compared they provide an understandable meaning.

Metaphor is the device that makes a direct comparison between two terms that have a certain non-literal similarity, but that can be linked to each other. In the second sentence we can see this happening, when the speaker compares miserable people with parts of vegetables when they are withered.

Discuss the theme of outcasts in these chapters (17-19) in at least two hundred words. What does it mean that the church takes in people that the clan rejects? How is Nwoye an outcast? How does the clan treat the missionaries as outcasts?

Answers

Answer:

The missionaries request a piece of land on which to build a church. The village leaders and elders offer them a plot in the Evil Forest, believing that the missionaries will not accept it. To the elders’ amazement, the missionaries rejoice in the offer. But the elders are certain that the forest’s sinister spirits and forces will kill the missionaries within daysThe church wins many converts from the efulefu (titleless, worthless men). One day, several osu, or outcasts, come to church. Many of the converts move away from them, though they do not leave the service. Afterward, there is an uproar, but Mr. Kiaga firmly refuses to deny the outcasts membership to the church. He argues that they will not die if they cut their hair or break any of the other taboos that have been imposed upon them. Mr. Kiaga’s steadfast conviction persuades most of the other converts not to reject their new faith simply because the outcasts have joined them. The osu soon become the most zealous members of the church. To the clan’s disbelief, one boasts that he killed the sacred royal python. Okonkwo urges Mbanta to drive the Christians out with violence, but the rulers and elders decide to ostracize them instead. Okonkwo bitterly remarks that this is a “womanly” clan. After announcing the new policy of ostracism, the elders learn that the man who boasted of killing the snake has died of an illness. The villagers’ trust in their gods is thereby reaffirmed, and they cease to ostracize the converts.

Summary: Chapter 19

Okonkwo’s seven years of exile in Mbanta are drawing to an end. Before he returns to Umuofia, he provides a large feast for his mother’s kinsmen. He is grateful to them but secretly regrets the missed opportunity to have further increased his status and influence among his own clan. He also regrets having spent time with such un-masculine people. At the feast, one man expresses surprise that Okonkwo has been so generous with his food and another praises Okonkwo’s devotion to the kinship bond. He also expresses concern for the younger generation, as Christianity is winning people away from their families and traditions.

Analysis: Chapters 17–19

Nwoye is drawn to Christianity because it seems to answer his long-held doubts about his native religion, specifically the abandonment of twin newborns and Ikemefuna’s death. Furthermore, Nwoye feels himself exiled from his society because of his disbelief in its laws, and the church offers refuge to those whom society has cast out. The church’s value system will allow twins to live, for example, which offers comfort to the pregnant woman who has had to endure the casting away to die of her four sets of newborn twins. Similarly, men without titles turn to Christianity to find affirmation of their individual worth. The osu are able to discard others’ perception of them as members of an ostracized caste and enter the church as the equals of other converts.

Okonkwo, on the other hand, has good reason to reject Christianity. Should Mbanta not drive the missionaries away, his killing of Ikemefuna would lose part of its religious justification. The damage to his relationship with Nwoye also seems more pointless than before. Both matters become his mistake rather than the result of divine will. Moreover, men of high status like Okonkwo view the church as a threat because it undermines the cultural value of their accomplishments. Their titles and their positions as religious authorities and clan leaders lose force and prestige if men of lower status are not there—the great cannot be measured against the worthless if the worthless have disappeared.
