Choose the right variant: There was little indeed in the commerce of her companions that her precocious experience couldn't explain, for if they struck her as after all rather deficient in that

air of the honeymoon of which she had so often heard--in much detail, for instance, from Mrs. Wix--it was natural to judge the circumstance in the light of papa's proved disposition to contest the empire of the matrimonial tie.

Object

Choose the right variant: With the question put to her it suddenly struck the child she didn't

know, so that she felt she looked foolish. So she took refuge in saying: "Shall YOU be different--" This was a full implication that the bride of Sir Claude would be.

Object

Define the syntactic function of the underlined word: Billiards was her great accomplishment

subject

Define the syntactic function of the underlined word: She was a person who, when she was out—and she was always out--produced everywhere a sense of having been seen often, the sense indeed of a kind of abuse of visibility, so that it would have been, in the usual places rather vulgar to wonder at her.

did it very much: it was an inevitable way of betraying an alien habit.

Define what part of speech the underlined word is:

In appearance he was a man of an exceedingly aristocratic type, thin, high-nosed, and large-eyed, with languid and yet courtly manners.

nature.

Fill in the gap: Maisie knew Mrs.

Farange had gone abroad, for she had had weeks and weeks before a letter from her beginning "My precious pet" and taking leave __________ her for an indeterminate time; but she had not seen in it a renunciation of hatred or of the writer's policy of asserting herself, for the sharpest of all her impressions had been that there was nothing her mother would ever care so much about as to torment Mr. Farange.

Fill in the gap: Maisie meanwhile, as a subject of familiar gossip on what was to be done

with her, was left so much _________ herself that she had hours of wistful

thought of the large loose discipline of Mrs. Wix; yet she none the less

visitors were ladies.

Fill in the gap: Mrs. Beale, for a minute, still _____________ her eyes on him as he leaned upon

The predicate(s) of the sentence is (are): It was a hug that fortunately left nothing to say, for the poor woman's want of words at such an hour seemed to fall in with her want of everything. Maisie's alternate parent, in the outermost vestibule--he liked the impertinence of

crossing as much as that of his late wife's threshold--stood over them with his open watch and his still more open grin, while from the only corner of an eye on which something of Mrs. Wix's didn't impinge the child saw at the door a brougham in which Miss Overmore also waited.

The predicate(s) of the sentence is (are): The child wondered if they didn't make it hurt

more than usual; but it was only after some time that she was able to attach to the picture of her father's sufferings, and more particularly to her nurse's manner about them, the meaning for which these things had waited.

The sentence is: She was in short introduced to life with a liberality in which the selfishness

of others found its account, and there was nothing to avert the sacrifice but the modesty of her youth.

The sentence refers to: His debt was by this arrangement remitted to him and the little girl

disposed of in a manner worthy of the judgement-seat of Solomon.

at this period exposed himself more than ever before to the presumption of having created expectations.

The underlined word is (define the syntactic function of the word):

It sounded, as this young lady thought it over, very much like puss-in-the-corner, and she could only wonder if the distribution of parties would lead to a rushing to and fro and a changing of places.

The underlined word is (define the syntactic function of the word):

That was the great thing that had domestically happened. Mrs. Wix, besides, had turned another face: she had never been exactly gay, but her gravity was now an attitude as public as a posted placard.

The underlined word is (define the syntactic function of the word): If it had become now, for that matter, a question of sides, there was at least a certain amount of evidence as to where they all were. Maisie of course, in such a delicate position, was on nobody's; but Sir Claude had

all the air of being on hers.

stepmother, taking a leap over the mountain of "mending," the abyss of packing that had loomed and yawned before her. "Oh MAY I?"

The underlined word is: "She's not turned out as I should like--her mother will pull her to

pieces. But what's one to do--with nothing to do it on? And she's better than when she came--you can tell her mother that. I'm sorry to have to say it to you--but the poor child was a sight."

The underlined word is: "You must take your mamma's message, Maisie, and you must

feel that her wishing me to come to you with it this way is a great proof of interest and affection. She sends you her particular love andannounces to you that she's engaged to be married to Sir Claude."

The underlined word is: It was vain for Mrs.

Wix to represent--as she speciously proceeded to do--that all this time would be made up as soon as Mrs. Farange returned: she, Miss Overmore, knew nothing, thank heaven, about her confederate, but was very sureany person capable of forming that sort of relation with the lady in

Florence would easily agree to object to the presence in his house of the fruit of a union that his dignity must ignore.

The underlined word is: Her companions of course laughed anew and Mrs. Beale gave her an

The underlined word is: Sir Claude watched her as she charmingly clung to the child. "I'm so

glad you really care for her. That's so much to the good."

It isn't in ME to be so beautifully discreet," Sir Claude said. "But all the same," he continued, "I leave the thing, now that we're here, absolutely WITH you. You must settle it. We'll only go in if you say so. If you don't say so we'll turn right round and drive away."

reflexions indeed at this moment thickened apace, and one of them made her sure that her governess had conversations, private, earnest and not infrequent, with her denounced stepfather.

The underlined words are: That was what she had meant by the drop of the objection to

a school; her small companion was no longer required at home as--it was Mrs. Beale's own amusing word--a little duenna.

The underlined words are: The note of this particular danger emboldened Maisie to put in a word for Mrs. Wix, the modest measure of whose avidity she had taken from the first; but Mrs. Beale disposed afresh and effectually of a candidate who would be sure to act in some horrible

and insidious way for Ida's interest and who moreover was personally loathsome and as ignorant as a fish.

The underlined words are: The things beyond her knowledge--numerous enough in

truth--had not hitherto, she believed, been the things that had been nearest to her: she had even had in the past a small smug conviction that in the domestic labyrinth she always kept the clue.

The underlined words are: There had never in the child's life been, in all ways, such a delightful

amount of reparation. It came out by his sociable admission that her ladyship had not known of his visit to her late husband's house and of his having made that person's daughter a pretext for striking up an acquaintance with the dreadful creature installed there.

The underlined words are: They had certainly no idle hours, and the child went to bed each night as tired as from a long day's play. This had begun from the moment of their reunion, begun with all Mrs. Wix had to tell her young friend of the reasons of her ladyship's extraordinary

behaviour at the very first.

Define what part of speech the underlined words are: "And why?"

"Quite so. Why? When we answer that we have made some progress with our little problem. Why? There can be only one adequate reason. Someone wanted to learn to imitate your writing and had to procure a specimen of it first. And now if we pass on to the second point we find that each throws light upon the other. That point is the request made by Pinner that you should not resign your place, but should leave the manager of this important business in the full expectation that a Mr. Hall Pycroft, whom he had never seen, was about to enter the office upon the Monday morning."

Define what part of speech the underlined words are: "Not a soul," groaned Hall Pycroft.

"Very good. Of course it was of the utmost importance to prevent you from thinking better of it, and also to keep you from coming into contact with anyone who might tell you that your double was at work in Mawson's office. Therefore they gave you a handsome advance on your salary, and ran you off to the Midllands, where they gave you enough work to do to prevent your going to London, where you might have burst their little game up. That is all plain enough."

The predicate(s) of the sentence is (are):

Choose the right variant: It appeared to Maisie herself to exhibit a fresh attraction, and she was troubled, having never before had occasion to differ from her lovely friend. 

Choose the right variant: Miss Overmore glittered more gaily; meanwhile it came over Maisie, and quite dazzlingly, that her "smart" governess was a bride. 

Choose the right variant: She caught her pupil to her bosom in a manner that was not to be outdone by the emissary of her predecessor, and a few moments later, when things had lurched back into their places, that poor lady, quite defeated of the last word, had soundlessly taken flight.

Choose the right variant: It was there indeed principally that it ended, for except that the child could reflect that she should presently have four parents in all, and also that at the end of three months the staircase, for a little girl hanging over banisters, sent up the deepening rustle of more elaborate advances, everything made the same impression as before. 

Choose the right variant: Maisie felt a fear. "Won't papa dislike to see it there?"

Choose the right variant: There were things dislike of which, as the child knew it, wouldn't matter to Mrs. Beale now, and their number increased so that such a trifle as his hostility to the photograph of Sir Claude quite dropped out of view. 

Define the form of the verb: "I am in Lady Agatha's black books at present," answered Dorian with a funny look of penitence.

Define what part of speech the underlined word is: "Because, without intending it, I have put into it some expression of all this curious artistic idolatry, of which, of course, I have never cared to speak to him. He knows nothing about it. He shall never know anything about it. But the world might guess it, and I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope. There is too much of myself in the thing, Harry--too much of myself!"

Define what part of speech the underlined word is: "He is all my art to me now," said the painter gravely.

Define what part of speech the underlined word is: "Stop!" faltered Dorian Gray, "stop! you bewilder me. I don't know what to say. There is some answer to you, but I cannot find it. Don't speak. Let me think. Or, rather, let me try not to think."

Define what part of speech the underlined word is: " 'Brunton, the butler, was in the library. He was sitting fully dressed, in an easy-chair, with a slip of paper which looked like a map upon his knee, and his forehead sunk forward upon his hand in deep thought.

The predicate(s) of the sentence is (are): At present, while Mrs. Wix's arms tightened and the smell of her hair was strong, she further remembered how, in pacifying Miss Overmore, papa had made use of the words "you dear old duck!"--an expression which, by its oddity, had stuck fast in her young mind, having moreover a place well prepared for it there by what she knew of the governess whom she now always mentally characterised as the pretty one.
