Thank you very much. Here are a few other sentences I'm doubtful about.
1)The universal order was conceived like a chain of beig/as a chain of being/in the form of a chain of being. Which ones are possible?
2) Man/or men had the unique function of joining together all elements of creation.
3) Shakespeare's plays are usually divided into five acts: introduction, development, complications, turning point, resolving of all difficulties.
4) A tragedy usually starts with a prologue and ends with an epilogue.
Make sure you'll watch that film next time. I will.
1. Please explain what you are trying to say. I don't understand this.
2. Humans ...
3. ... resolution of all ...
4. OK
1) The correct option is "in the form of a chain of being." The sentence implies that the universal order was perceived or understood to be structured like a chain of being.
2) The correct option is "Man." Since the sentence is talking about the unique role of humans, it should use the singular form "Man" to refer to humanity as a whole.
3) The correct option is "introduction, development, complications, turning point, and resolving of all difficulties." This is the usual structure or division of Shakespeare's plays into five acts: introduction, development, complications, turning point (also known as the climax), and resolution of conflicts.
4) The correct statement is "A tragedy usually starts with a prologue and ends with an epilogue." A prologue serves as an introductory section that establishes the context or background of the play, while an epilogue appears at the conclusion of the play, providing a final comment or conclusion.
Regarding the last sentence, both parts are correct:
"Make sure you'll watch that film next time." - This sentence suggests that the speaker wants the listener to watch a specific film in the future.
"I will." - This response confirms that the speaker will indeed watch the mentioned film next time.
