On our way into Cairo, we caught site of the Great Pyramid of Giza! The shear size of this thing is astounding.

What two need to be corrected?

"site" should be "sight"

"shear" should be "sheer"

Explanation:

The two mistakes are "site" and "shear".

"Site" is the location of something; in this case, that's not what the context is trying to say. Instead, the sentence is saying that "we" saw the pyramid, so it should be "we caught sight of the Great Pyramid of Giza".

"Shear" is cutting off the hair of something. Obviously, no one's hair is getting cut, so it doesn't make sense here. Instead, the correct word should be "sheer", which means something like "utter" or to express the power of an item.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
