Mangrove forests abound in the equatorial region as they flourish in tropical climate. Mangrove forests have an intricate system of prop roots that make the trees look as if they were standing on stilts above the water level to prevent erosion of the coastline due to storms
and tidal waves. The lower part of the Ganga delta in West Bengal is a vast swampy forest
area called the Sunderbans. It has the largest mangrove forest in the world. Sunderban means
beautiful forest. The forest also gets its name from the evergreen Sundari trees common to that area. The
vegetation is dense as the climate is humid throughout most of the year, making it an ideal
home for deer, wild pig and the Bengal tiger. Streams in the south of the delta are home to
crocodiles, snake and fish. During the summer months, these marshy areas are visited by
swarms of rock bees that migrate from forests at the foot of the Himalayas, attracted by the
fragrant flowers in the Sunderbans. Monkeys in the area smear themselves with mud and
disturb the bees before carrying away hives laden with honey.

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.
