"Please dont go away", she said.a)She said to please her and...
The correct answer is c) She begged me not to go away.
In the sentence "Please don't go away", the word "please" is used as a polite request and the word "don't" is used to negate the verb "go", meaning that the speaker is asking the listener not to go away. The phrase "she said" indicates that the speaker said these words aloud to someone else. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the sentence is that the speaker begged the listener not to go away.

Explanation:

Context:
The speaker is asking someone not to leave, indicating a desire for them to stay.

Interpretation:
The statement "Please don't go away" implies a sense of urgency or importance attached to the person staying.

Explanation of Options:
  • Option A: This does not accurately represent the situation as the speaker is not requesting for the other person to please them but rather asking them not to leave.
  • Option B: This directly contradicts the original statement as the speaker is asking the person not to go away.
  • Option C: This is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the speaker's plea for the other person to stay.
  • Option D: This is similar to option C but places more emphasis on the request being a plea rather than a simple statement.



Conclusion:
In this scenario, the speaker is expressing a desire for the other person to stay, as evidenced by the statement "Please don't go away." The accurate interpretation of this statement is reflected in option C, where the speaker is begging the other person not to leave.

Directions: The passage below is followed by a question based on its content. Answer the question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.PassageOutside, the rain continued to run down the screened windows of Mrs. Sennetts little Cape Cod cottage. The long weeds and grass that composed the front yard dripped against the blurred background of the bay, where the water was almost the color of the grass. Mrs. Sennetts five charges were vigorously playing house in the dining room. (In the wintertime, Mrs. Sennett was housekeeper for a Mr. Curley, in Boston, and during the summers the Curley children boarded with her on the Cape.)My expression must have changed. "Are those children making too much noise?" Mrs. Sennett demanded, a sort of wave going over her that might mark the beginning of her getting up out of her chair. I shook my head no, and gave her a little push on the shoulder to keep her seated. Mrs. Sennett was almost stone-deaf and had been for a long time, but she could read lips. You could talk to her without making any sound yourself, if you wanted to, and she more than kept up her side of the conversation in a loud, rusty voice that dropped weirdly every now and then into a whisper. She adored talking.To look at Mrs. Sennett made me think of eighteenth-century England and its literary figures. Her hair must have been sadly thin, because she always wore, indoors and out, either a hat or a sort of turban, and sometimes she wore both. The rims of her eyes were dark; she looked very ill.Mrs. Sennett and I continued talking. She said she really didnt think shed stay with the children another winter. Their father wanted her to, but it was too much for her. She wanted to stay right here in the cottage. The afternoon was getting along, and I finally left because I knew that at four oclock Mrs. Sennetts "sit down" was over and she started to get supper. At six oclock, from my nearby cottage, I saw Theresa coming through the rain with a shawl over her head. She was bringing me a six-inch-square piece of spice cake, still hot from the oven and kept warm between two soup plates.A few days later I learned from the twins, who brought over gifts of firewood and blackberries, that their father was coming the next morning, bringing their aunt and her husband and their cousin. Mrs. Sennett had promised to take them all on a picnic at the pond some pleasant day. On the fourth day of their visit, Xavier arrived with a note. It was from Mrs. Sennett, written in blue ink, in a large, serene, ornamented hand, on linen-finish paper:Tomorrow is the last day Mr. Curley has and the Children all wanted the Picnic so much. The Men can walk to the Pond but it is too far for the Children. I see your Friend has a car and I hate to ask this but could you possibly drive us to the Pond tomorrow morning?Very sincerely yours,Carmen SennettAfter the picnic, Mrs. Sennetts presents to me were numberless. It was almost time for the children to go back to school in South Boston. Mrs. Sennett insisted that she was not going; their father was coming down again to get them and she was just going to stay. He would have to get another housekeeper. She said this over and over to me, loudly, and her turbans and kerchiefs grew more and more distrait.One evening, Mary came to call on me and we sat on an old table in the back yard to watch the sunset. "Papa came today," she said, "and weve got to go back day after tomorrow.""Is Mrs. Sennett going to stay here?""She said at supper she was. She said this time she really was, because shed said that last year and came back, but now she means it." I said, "Oh dear," scarcely knowing which side I was on."It was awful at supper. I cried and cried.""Did Theresa cry?""Oh, we all cried. Papa cried, too. We always do.""But dont you think Mrs. Sennett needs a rest?""Yes, but I think shell come, though. Papa told her hed cry every single night at supper if she didnt, and then we all did."The next day I heard that Mrs. Sennett was going back with them just to "help settle." She came over the following morning to say goodbye, supported by all five children. She was wearing her traveling hat of black satin and black straw, with sequins. High and somber, above her ravaged face, it had quite a Spanish-grandee air."This isnt really goodbye, "she said." Ill be back as soon as I get these bad, noisy children off myhands". But the children hung on to her skirt and tugged at her sleeves, shaking their heads frantically, silently saying, "No! No! No!" to her with their puckered-up mouths.Q.What is the main insight suggested by the conversation given in the passage?

A King once had a lake made in the courtyard for the young princes to play in. They swam about in it, and sailed their boats and rafts on it. One day the king told them he had asked the men to put some fishes into the lake. Off the boys ran to see the fishes. Now, along with the fishes, there was a Turtle. The boys were delighted with the fishes, but they had never seen a Turtle, and they were afraid of it, thinking it was a demon. They ran back to their father, crying, There is a demon on the bank of the lake. The king ordered his men to catch the demon, and to bring it to the palace. When the Turtle was brought in, the boys cried and ran away. The king always liked turtles but was also very fond of his sons, so he ordered the men who had brought the Turtle to kill it. How shall we kill it? they asked. Pound it to powder, said someone. Bake it in hot coals, said another. So one plan after another was spoken of. Then an old man who had always been afraid of the water said: Throw the thing into the lake where it flows out over the rocks into the river. Then it will surely be killed. When the Turtle heard what the old man said, he thrust out his head and asked: Friend, what have I done that you should do such a dreadful thing as that to me? The other plans were bad enough, but to throw me into the lake! Dont speak of such a cruel thing! When the king heard what the Turtle said, he told his men to take the Turtle at once and throw it into the lake. The Turtle laughed to himself as he slid away down the river to his old home.Q. What message is the passage trying to convey?
