Read this passage from “The Monkey’s Paw” to determine the answers to the follow-up questions.
“To look at,” said the sergeant-major, fumbling in his pocket, “it's just an ordinary little paw, dried to a mummy.”
He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously.
“And what is there special about it?” inquired Mr. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table.
“It had a spell put on it by an old fakir,” said the sergeant-major, “a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it.”
His manner was so impressive that his hearers were conscious that their light laughter jarred somewhat.
“Well, why don't you have three, sir?” said Herbert White, cleverly.
The soldier regarded him in the way that middle age is wont to regard presumptuous youth. “I have,” he said, quietly, and his blotchy face whitened.
“And did you really have the three wishes granted?” asked Mrs. White.
“I did,” said the sergeant-major, and his glass tapped against his strong teeth.
“And has anybody else wished?” persisted the old lady.
“The first man had his three wishes. Yes,” was the reply; “I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw.”
His tones were so grave that a hush fell upon the group.
“If you've had your three wishes, it's no good to you now, then, Morris,” said the old man at last. “What do you keep it for?”
The soldier shook his head. “Fancy, I suppose,” he said, slowly. “I did have some idea of selling it, but I don't think I will. It has caused enough mischief already. Besides, people won't buy. They think it's a fairy tale; some of them, and those who do think anything of it want to try it first and pay me afterward.

Amira is punctilious about where everything in her room should go, and can't stand it when anything is out of place. Her friend Luz is the exact opposite, leaving a trail of stray pens, sticky notes, and unmatched gym socks wherever she goes. What does the word punctilious most likely suggest? Select two options. that Amira is somewhat neat that Amira is indifferent about how her room looks that Amira is controlling with regard to details that Amira is lazy and unmotivated that Amira is uptight about cleanliness
Answer:
The two options which express what punctilious most likely suggests are:
C. that Amira is controlling with regard to details
E. that Amira is uptight about cleanliness
Explanation:
Even without having ever seen the word "punctilious" before, we can guess its meaning based on context clues. First, we are told that Amira is punctilious when it comes to her room and the objects in it. She is then compared to her friend, Luz, who happens to be completely different than her. Luz does not care about cleanliness or organization. Now that we know that trait about Luz, we can easily assume what "punctilious" means about Amira. If they are complete opposites, that means Amira is super organized and neat. She cares about where each thing goes. With that in mind, we can easily choose the two correct options:
C. that Amira is controlling with regard to details
E. that Amira is uptight about cleanliness

c e

What is a basic word part that comes from another language?
O affix
O root
O prefix
O suffix
IF YOU ANSWER CORRECTLY ILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST ANSWER
Answer: Root
Explanation:
Affix, is produced when a grammatical element is being joined with a word, or phrase in order for an infected form of the word to be produced. Affix are typically of three firms which are the prefixes, the innfixes, and the suffixes.
Word roots are simply the words that are taken from other languages and it should be noted that these are where majority of English words come from. Some English words have either Greek or Latin origins. Roots are basic word part that comes from another language.
A prefix is a group of letters that are typically placed before a word's root. e.g "un" which means not can be seen in words like unhappy which simply means not happy.
Unlike prefixes, the suffixes are not added at the start but rather at the end of that word e.g ment, ness etc.
Therefore, based on the explanation, the answer is root.

This is a key event in The Call of the Wild. That winter, at Dawson, Buck performed another exploit, not so heroic, perhaps, but one that put his name many notches higher on the totem-pole of Alaskan fame. This exploit was particularly gratifying to the three men; for they stood in need of the outfit which it furnished, and were enabled to make a long-desired trip into the virgin East, where miners had not yet appeared. It was brought about by a conversation in the Eldorado Saloon, in which men waxed boastful of their favorite dogs.
