Question

Accepted Answer

### Sub - Question 1: What part of speech is the underlined word "pet"?
# Brief Explanations:
To determine the part of speech of "pet" in the sentence "In stories and movies, pirates keep pet parrots, bury treasure, and say, 'Arrgh!'", we analyze its function. "Pet" is used to describe the noun "parrots", telling us what kind of parrots they are. Words that describe nouns are adjectives.
# Answer:
adjective

### Sub - Question 2: Write the meaning of the underlined words "retook" and "control"
# Brief Explanations:
- For "retook": The prefix "re - " means "again" and "took" is the past tense of "take". So "retook" means to take (something) again. In the context of the pirate captain, it means he took control of his ship again.
- For "control": It means the power to direct or manage something or someone. In this sentence, it refers to the captain's power over his ship.
# Answer:
- retook: took (something) again (specifically, the captain took control of his ship again)
- control: the power to direct or manage (in this case, the captain's power over his ship)

### Sub - Question 3: Underline all the nouns. Circle abstract nouns in red and concrete nouns in blue in the sentence "Blackbeard was known for his cruelty and long, braided, black beard."
# Brief Explanations:
- Nouns are words that name a person, place, thing, or idea.
    - "Blackbeard" is a person's name (a proper noun, a type of noun).
    - "cruelty" is an idea (an abstract noun as it represents a quality or concept, not a physical thing).
    - "beard" is a physical thing (a concrete noun as it can be seen and touched).
- So we underline "Blackbeard", "cruelty", and "beard". Then we circle "cruelty" in red (abstract noun) and "Blackbeard", "beard" in blue (concrete nouns).
# Answer:
- Underlined nouns: Blackbeard, cruelty, beard
- Red - circled (abstract noun): cruelty
- Blue - circled (concrete nouns): Blackbeard, beard

### Sub - Question 4: Complete the sentence "Ann Bonny and Mary Reade ______ two female pirates." using "was" or "were"
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Determine the subject
The subject of the sentence is "Ann Bonny and Mary Reade", which is a compound subject (two people).
## Step 2: Choose the correct verb
In English, when the subject is plural (more than one person or thing), we use the plural form of the verb "to be" in the past tense. The plural past - tense form of "to be" is "were", and the singular past - tense form is "was". Since the subject is two people (plural), we use "were".
# Answer:
were

### Sub - Question 5: Tell if the statement "The pirate wore an eyepatch over his eye." should be taken literally or nonliterally
# Brief Explanations:
A literal statement is one that means exactly what it says. The statement "The pirate wore an eyepatch over his eye" describes a real - world action that a pirate could actually do (wear an eyepatch over his eye). There is no figurative or non - literal meaning here. So it should be taken literally.
# Answer:
literally

### Sub - Question 6: What does "irresponsible" mean?
# Brief Explanations:
The prefix "ir - " is a negative prefix (it means "not"). The root word "responsible" means being able to be trusted to do what is right or to do one's duties. So "irresponsible" means not responsible, or not being able to be trusted to do what is right or to do one's duties.
# Answer:
not responsible (not being able to be trusted to do what is right or to do one's duties)
