Answer key

  2. He seemed to show the true mark of greatness.“Seemed to” shows how something appeared.
  3. But I was sure of two things about the clergyman.“Was sure of” means had no doubt about.
  4. He was a nice, pleasant young man.Two adjectives describe him: “nice” and “pleasant”.
  5. And he always saved himself by some miracle.“Saved himself” uses a reflexive pronoun. A miracle is a wonderful, surprising event.
