--Name the _emphatic words_ in the last
paragraph of the lesson, and mark the _inflections_.
In determining upon the _emphasis_ to be given to the words of a
sentence, the only guide we have to follow is the _meaning_. We must
ask ourselves, "Which, words are of special importance to the meaning?"

_statements_, expressing as nearly as possible the same meaning.

"Tell me at once what the matter is!"
"Let us shout for Meccatina, and its mountains bare and brown!"
Model.--"What is your name?" changed to the form of a _statement_,

_statements_, expressing as nearly as possible the same meaning.
