: Hi folks,
: Please read this small passage and help me with these:
: 1.When Abe told Mr.Crawford what had happended to the book, he talked _B__
: A.mockingly
: B.humorously
: C.unconcernedly
: (Why choose B as answer here?)
: 2.Do you know what is a weather side?
: 3.Could you explain this sentence "How came you to forget..."
: It seems ungrammatical! We can only use "how come that...?" to express our surprise, and the tense of "come" is never changed!
: Thanks!!!!!
1. I don't think any of these choices fit. Just from the text, it doesn't sound like he was mocking or joking. Abe was being straightforward but he was concerned. Abe had a reputation for joking, maybe that's why the choice was B.
2. The part of the daubing or whatever he called it, that faced the outside of the cabin and was exposed to weather.
3. Maybe that is an old way of speaking.
