Activities
- 2) an estate is an area of land, in that case, an area of land in a town 3) children without parents that have not been adopted are either put in an orphanage, or in the homes of people that are their "foster parents". It is a temporary adoption. 5) the glazing is double - i.e. there are two layers of glass. This is a glass door, e.g. a sliding door with double glazing.0 votedAugust 24, 20190
- The correct meaning of "at a loss" is to have no idea. You try to gain an understanding, but fail. When you fail to gain understanding, you are at a loss. The thing you lose is your effort spent trying to gain understanding. The sentence you gave sounds like an incorrect usage. I think "who is losing" was intended.0 votedAugust 24, 20190
- The sentence is incomplete. It might say, "it’s not as though you’ve been spared all the afflictions of prison life.". Prison life has many afflictions (prisoners are afflicted). Some prisoners are afflicted less: they are spared some of the afflictions of prison life. Some prisoners are not afflicted at all: they are spared ALL of the afflictions of prison life. If you are not afflicted, then I can say "You have been spared all the afflictions of prison life". However, if you are afflicted, then I cannot say that. It is not like that: it is not as though you were spared. The opposite of this sentence is simpler: "It is as though you have been spared all the afflictions of prison."0 votedAugust 24, 20190
