Question

Prologue Long before we arrived, long before any of us arrived, a different people lived here. I feel Them here with me, watching, waiting, wary as the wind rustles through the trees and the river chatters over the lumpy pebbles. 1 We live close to a crossing; a shallow point in the river. It's not a road exactly but you can tell somehow that it was once a well-trodden path - the easiest way across the river. We use the bridge now, where the cars and trucks crash by, never noticing the old way. But I spend my time here, in the woods, sitting on the bank or following the way deep into the hills. Sometimes I find things, things that tell me about Them. Sometimes I wonder if They leave them for me to find. A tiny carving of an animal-hard to tell what sort now-but tiny and perfectly carved from bone, I think. A pile of stones in a ring fused by time and weather into the ground. Holes gouged out of rock in a pattern, as if for a game of sorts. A painting on the rocks, faded but there. Sometimes I know They are watching me, waiting for me to come and They walk with me as I venture further and further from where I know. One day, perhaps I will go too far but I trust They will always lead me home Focus Make predictions from a prologue. Read the prologue and answer the questions. 1.What tense is the prologue mostly written in? b Suggest a reason why this tense has been used. a suggest acreason why this tense has been used? c why is the first sentence in a different tense? d scan the prologue to find another example of a different tense,why is it used? ​

Answer 1

Sure, here are the answers to your questions:

The prologue is mostly written in the present tense.
The present tense is often used in prologues to create a sense of immediacy and urgency. It can also help to create a sense of suspense, as the reader is left wondering what will happen next.
The first sentence is in the past tense because it is setting the scene for the rest of the prologue. It tells us that the events in the prologue happened in the past, even though they are being described in the present tense.
Another example of a different tense in the prologue is the use of the future tense in the sentence "One day, perhaps I will go too far." This use of the future tense creates a sense of anticipation and uncertainty, as the reader is left wondering what will happen to the protagonist if they go too far.
Here are some additional predictions that can be made from the prologue:

The protagonist is a young person who is curious about the history of their area.
The protagonist feels a connection to the previous inhabitants of the area.
The protagonist is adventurous and willing to explore the unknown.
The protagonist may be in danger if they go too far.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions

Answer 2

According to all known laws

of aviation,

there is no way a bee

should be able to fly.

Its wings are too small to get

its fat little body off the ground.

The bee, of course, flies anyway

because bees don't care

what humans think is impossible.

Yellow, black. Yellow, black.

Yellow, black. Yellow, black.

Ooh, black and yellow!

Let's shake it up a little.

Barry! Breakfast is ready!

Ooming!

Hang on a second.

Hello?

- Barry?

- Adam?

- Oan you believe this is happening?

- I can't. I'll pick you up.

Looking sharp.

Use the stairs. Your father

paid good money for those.

Sorry. I'm excited.

Here's the graduate.

We're very proud of you, son.

A perfect report card, all B's.

Very proud.

Ma! I got a thing going here.

- You got lint on your fuzz.

- Ow! That's me!

- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.

- Bye!

Barry, I told you,

stop flying in the house!

- Hey, Adam.

- Hey, Barry.

- Is that fuzz gel?

- A little. Special day, graduation.

Never thought I'd make it.

Three days grade school,

three days high school.

Those were awkward.

Three days college. I'm glad I took

a day and hitchhiked around the hive.

You did come back different.

- Hi, Barry.

- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.

- Hear about Frankie?

- Yeah.

- You going to the funeral?

- No, I'm not going.

Everybody knows,

sting someone, you die.

Don't waste it on a squirrel.

Such a hothead.

I guess he could have

just gotten out of the way.

I love this incorporating

an amusement park into our day.

That's why we don't need vacations.

Boy, quite a bit of pomp...

under the circumstances.

- Well, Adam, today we are men.

- We are!

- Bee-men.

- Amen!

Hallelujah!

Students, faculty, distinguished bees,

please welcome Dean Buzzwell.

Welcome, New Hive Oity

graduating class of...

...9:15.

That concludes our ceremonies.

And begins your career

at Honex Industries!

Will we pick ourjob today?

I heard it's just orientation.

Heads up! Here we go.

Keep your hands and antennas

inside the tram at all times.

- Wonder what it'll be like?

- A little scary.

Welcome to Honex,

a division of Honesco

and a part of the Hexagon Group.

This is it!

Wow.

Wow.

We know that you, as a bee,

have worked your whole life

to get to the point where you

can work for your whole life.

Honey begins when our valiant Pollen

Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.

Our top-secret formula

is automatically color-corrected,

scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured

into this soothing sweet syrup

with its distinctive

golden glow you know as...

Honey!

- That girl was hot.

- She's my cousin!

- She is?

- Yes, we're all cousins.

- Right. You're right.

- At Honex, we constantly strive

to improve every aspect

of bee existence.

These bees are stress-testing

a new helmet technology.

- What do you think he makes?

- Not enough.

Here we have our latest advancement,

the Krelman.

- What does that do?

- Oatches that little strand of honey

that hangs after you pour it.

Saves us millions.

Oan anyone work on the Krelman?

Of course. Most bee jobs are

small ones. But bees know

that every small job,

if it's done well, means a lot.

But choose carefully

because you'll stay in the job

you pick for the rest of your life.

The same job the rest of your life?

I didn't know that.

What's the difference?

You'll be happy to know that bees,

as a species, haven't had one day off

in 27 million years.

So you'll just work us to death?

We'll sure try.

Wow! That blew my mind!

"What's the difference?"

How can you say that?

One job forever?

That's an insane choice to have to make.

I'm relieved. Now we only have

to make one decision in life.

But, Adam, how could they

never have told us that?

Why would you question anything?

We're bees.

We're the most perfectly

functioning society on Earth.

You ever think maybe things

work a little too well here?

Like what? Give me one example.

I don't know. But you know

what I'm talking about.

Please clear the gate.

Royal Nectar Force on approach.

Wait a second. Oheck it out.

- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!

- Wow.

I've never seen them this close.
