Identify the underlinded conjunctions in the following excerpts from "The Interlp[ers" as "coordinating," "correlative," or "subordinating."
1. ...a man stood one winter night watching _and_ listening, _as though_ he waited for some beast of the woods to come within the range of his vision, _and_, later, of his rifle.
2. I have men, too, in the forest, close behind me, _and_ they will be here first _and_ do the releasing.
My answers:
1. Coordinating; subordinating; coordinating?
2. Coordinating; correlative?
In these sentences, note the use of interjections (underlineded). In a word or two, describe the feeling or emotion expressed by each.
1. "_No! No!_ No rugs!"
A: Disapprovial and panic? (I am not entirely ccertain about this one.)
2. "Ah, Michener-sahib, you have a fine eye."
A: Suprise or realisation and delight?
3. "Well, I've invested so much in it already, I may as well risk a little more."
A: Thoughtfulness and consideration?
4. Alas, shortly thereafter the rugs were stolen, but I remember them vividly and with longing.
A: Grief or pity?
Write each sentence, adding an appropriate interjection to each.
1. That pan is hot!
A: Ouch! That pan is hot!
2. You did a great job!
A: Wow! You did a great job!
3. I didn't mean to do it that way.
A: No, I didn't mean to do it that way?
4. That looks awful.
A: Oh, no! that looks awful?
Incorrect:
2. Coordinating; correlative? [Correlative conjunctions come in pairs. Did you read through the linked page Ms. Sue gave you?]
No, I didn't mean to do it that way? [Why the question mark?]
I agree with all your other answers.
Yes, I read the linked page.
2. Coordinating; subordinating?
I simply typed the question mark because I was uncertain about my answer.
2. Coordinating; coordinating.
The first coordinating conj connects the two independent clauses; the second coordinating conj joins two compound verbs.
The word "and" is nowhere to be found in the list of subordinating conjunctions!!
For the first part of the question, identifying the underlined conjunctions, you are mostly correct.
1. The conjunctions in the first sentence are as follows:
- "and" - coordinating conjunction
- "as though" - subordinating conjunction
- "and" - coordinating conjunction
2. The conjunctions in the second sentence are as follows:
- "and" - coordinating conjunction
- "and" - coordinating conjunction
For the second part of the question, describing the feeling or emotion expressed by the interjections, your answers seem reasonable:
1. "_No! No!_ No rugs!"
- The interjection "No!" expresses strong disapproval or rejection. So, your answer of disapproval is correct. Panic could be one interpretation, but in this context, disapproval seems more fitting.
2. "Ah, Michener-sahib, you have a fine eye."
- The interjection "Ah" expresses surprise, realization, or delight. So, your answer of surprise or realization and delight is correct.
3. "Well, I've invested so much in it already, I may as well risk a little more."
- There is no interjection in this sentence. The word "well" here functions as an adverb rather than an interjection.
4. "Alas, shortly thereafter the rugs were stolen, but I remember them vividly and with longing."
- The interjection "Alas" expresses grief or sorrow. So, your answer of grief is correct. Pity could be another interpretation, but in this context, grief seems more fitting.
For the last part of the question, adding appropriate interjections to the sentences, your answers are correct:
1. That pan is hot!
- Interjection: "Ouch!"
- Revised sentence: "Ouch! That pan is hot!"
2. You did a great job!
- Interjection: "Wow!"
- Revised sentence: "Wow! You did a great job!"
3. I didn't mean to do it that way.
- Interjection: "No"
- Revised sentence: "No, I didn't mean to do it that way."
4. That looks awful.
- Interjection: "Oh, no!"
- Revised sentence: "Oh, no! That looks awful."
Overall, you did a good job!
