Read the paragraph. my brother and i pulled into the driveway. i peered up and thought it was suspicious that every shade in the house was drawn. the house had been unusually dark for early evening. as my brother unlocked the front door, i heard some hushed whispers. suddenly, about ten of my friends and my parents jumped out and yelled, “surprise! ” which is the best replacement for the underlined sentence? the house was unusually dark for early evening. the house will be unusually dark for early evening. the house has been unusually dark for early evening. the house was being unusually dark for early evening.

The answer to your question would be that the best replacement for the underlined sentence is the following one: The house was unusually dark for early evening.

In the passage above, someone is narrating the moment in which he was thrown a surprise birthday party. The whole story is in the past simple tense, so it will be better for the sentence in question to be also in that verb tense. What is more, the state of being dark is not something that can be interrupted by another action so as to use the past perfect tense. In addition to this, the PP "for early evening" is specifying that the state of darkness only refers to that period of time (early evening), it is not something that has been happening throughout the whole day so as to justify the use of the past perfect tense.

it makes the person recieving the message not feel comfortable with the banana

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
