Next day his luggage arrived through the slush—and very remarkable luggage it was. There were a couple of trunks indeed, such as a rational man might need, but in addition there were a box of books—big, fat books, of which some were just in an incomprehensible handwriting—and a dozen or more crates, boxes, and cases, containing objects packed in straw, as it seemed to Hall, tugging with a casual curiosity at the straw—glass bottles.
Which is the best meaning for incomprehensible as it is used in the selected sentence?
A) unorganized; scattered
B) having no limits; boundless
C) impossible to fathom or imagine
D) difficult or impossible to understand or comprehend; unintelligible

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D). Difficult or impossible to understand or comprehend:  Unintelligible.

Explanation:

The word 'incomprehensible' denotes 'anything beyond understanding or something that is unable to be explained or comprehended.'

In the given sentence, the most appropriate meaning of this word would be 'unintelligible' which implies 'difficult or indeed impossible to understand.' It connotes 'an unclear or inexplicable idea.' The synonyms of the word could be 'indecipherable, inarticulate, incoherent, impenetrable, etc.' Another sentence using the word could be:

'His sudden anger at the party was incomprehensible(beyond understanding) to the entire crowd out there.'

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Analyze the quote from Section 3-Burning Bright, then make three connections (text - to this text, text to world, text to self)

"Montag tried to see the men’s faces, the old faces he remembered from the firelight, lined and tired. He was looking for a brightness, a resolve, a triumph over tomorrow that hardly seemed to be there. Perhaps he had expected their faces to burn and glitter with the knowledge they carried, to glow as lanterns glow, with the light in them. But all the light had come from the campfire, and these men had seemed no different than any others who had run a long race, searched a long search, seen good things destroyed, and now, very late, were gathered to wait for the end of the party and the blowing out of the lamps".

Answers

Answer:

Text to text: The text shows several times how the faces of men looked downcast, like people who lost their strength and hope. Text to world: The text portrays a link about the idea of tiredness that affects human beings in the most varied spheres of society. This fatigue may not be physical, but mental and psychological. Text to self: The text reminds me of situations where I did not reach a certain goal that I had and I felt that it was no longer worth insisting on, because I had been defeated. Although I went back on some goals, others I let die.

Explanation:

When you read a text it is possible to make three types of connections that are called Text-to-self, Text-to-text and text-to-world.

The connection called Text-to-self refers to the connections between the ideas shown in the text and the reader's experiences in his personal life. The connection called Text-to-text refers to the exposure of recurring ideas in the text, which are repeated by reinforcing the main theme being exposed. Finally, the text-to-world connection refers to the connection between the ideas in the text and other areas of knowledge.

Colloquialisms are informal words and “gonna” is an example of such. The informal words listed above are really slang words rather than proper words. These informal words are often or should be used when speaking to a friend or family instead of a boss or administrator. So yes, these are Colloquialisms. I really hoped I helped you !
