Answer:

A. The effect of river dams

Explanation:

The central idea that organizes the essay is "causes and effects of building river dams", so these two are the major points that the essay needs to talk about, other points may be included only if they are relevant to the topic. Thus, since Jaycee already wrote about the reasons that river dams are built (The causes), the next paragraph should focus on the effects of river dams.

Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all express points that can be included in the paragraph that focuses on the reasons why river dams are built.

In these sentences, the underlined words represent a mix of compound direct object, prepositional phrases, gerund phrases, and an infinitive phrase.

The underlined words in these sentences represent different functions. For question 15, '_cookies_ and _cupcakes_' act as a compound direct object, as they are the items directly affected by the action of the verb.

For question 16, '_from France_' is a prepositional phrase where 'from' is the preposition linking the phrase to the rest of the sentence.

In question 17, '_comparing the two essays_' is a gerund phrase where the gerund 'comparing' acts as a noun.

In question 18, '_summarizing a fiction passage_' is also a gerund phrase. As with the previous case, 'summarizing' is the gerund, acting as a noun.

For question 19, '_to paint the foliage in the background_' is an infinitive phrase wherein 'to paint' is the infinitive.

Finally, in question 20, '_of his scripts_' is a prepositional phrase where 'of' is the preposition.

Answer:

A) Dee has distanced herself so much from her mother and Maggie that seeing their house was like seeing an exhibit in a museum.

Explanation:

One of the major themes of the story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker is the importance of culture. The story reflects on the issue that a culture can be best preserved and respected by living it in its way instead of preserving it and carrying it away.

Dee clicked the pictures of her mother, Maggie, and the house so that she can preserve those as a symbol of her culture.

Answer:

b.(-1,4)

Explanation:

We are given that the endpoints of RS are R(-5,12) and S(4,-6).

We have to find the coordinates of point T, which divides RS in to a ratio 4:5.

Section formula :[tex]x=\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2}[/tex] and [tex]y=\frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2}[/tex]

[tex]x_1=-5,y_1=12,x_2=4,y_2=-6,m_1=4,m_2=5[/tex]

Substitute the values in the given formula

Then , the coordinates of point T

[tex]x=\frac{4(4)+5(-5)}{4+5}=\frac{16-25}{9}=\frac{-9}{9}=-1[/tex]

and [tex]y=\frac{4(-6)+5(12)}{4+5}=\frac{-24+60}{9}=\frac{36}{9}=4[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of T(-1,4).

Hence, option B is true.

Answer:

As a substitution

Explanation:

A euphemism refers to a word or phrase that replaces another word or phrase that is considered more offensive, vulgar, blunt, unpleasant or impolite. Therefore, they function as a substitution for unpleasant words or phrases. Some examples of euphemisms are when we say "pregnancy termination" instead of "abortion", "Economical" instead of "cheap" and "tipsy" instead of "drunk."

Explanation:

Much is revealed in Juliet's speech. First, she reveals her love for Romeo when she says "be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet." In these lines, she says how she would give up her family to be with Romeo. Second, she also discusses with herself how unimportant a name is. She is explaining that a person's named does not make them who they are. Her clearest example is that of a rose. She says, "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Her point is that the name of the rose does not make it sweet, but rather it's make up. She compares this to Romeo and says that "Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title." Juliet feels that Romeo's name is not what makes him the person she loves. Since the names are the only things that are stopping them from being together, she asks him to "deny thy father and refuse thy name." Juliet's solution to the hatred keeping them from being together is for them to give up their families.

Henry David Thoreau uses metaphor in his passage to illustrate the concept of injustice as a machine that operates through individuals' actions and to express the importance of resisting such mechanisms when they perpetuate harm onto others.

In the passage from "Resistance to Civil Government" by Henry David Thoreau, Thoreau uses metaphor to compare injustice to a machine that operates through the wrongful actions of individuals. By referencing mechanical parts such as a spring, pulley, rope, or crank, he conveys the idea that mechanisms of injustice may have their own complexities. However, if these mechanisms require individuals to enact injustice upon others, Thoreau urges breaking the law as an act of moral resistance. This metaphor serves as a powerful illustration of his philosophy on civil disobedience and the importance of individual action in confronting and stopping the "machine" of injustice.

Odysseus will change even more.

Odysseus will be able to truly go home.

Odysseus goes through many situations such as: The father of Telemachus knows that Odysseus is on the island of Calypso with no means to get home. Poseidon sees Odysseus on his raft and causes him problems.

Odysseus fears that Poseidon will kill him when he approaches the shore. Poseidon is preventing Odysseus from going home. Ino gives Odysseus his scarf to save him. Odysseus must return Ino's gift to the sea once he is safely grounded. Odysseus is at sea twenty days before landing on the island of the Faeacians. Hailtherses predicts that Odysseus after many blows and with all his dead or missing companions will return home unrecognizable. Nausicca, the princess, is the only one who is not terrified by the horrible appearance of Odysseus. After taking a bath Athena makes Odysseus look taller and more massive with beautiful hair.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A clause is a part of the sentence that contains a verb. A typical clause consists of subject + predicate, the latter typically a verb phrase, a verb with any objects and other modifiers. However, the subject is sometimes not said or explicit, often the case in null-subject languages if the subject is retrievable from context, but it sometimes also occurs in other languages such as English (as in imperative sentences and non-finite clauses).

We have some kind of clauses:

SV clauses

Subject+verb. They are usually declarative.

Verb first clauses They can express a yes/no question via subject–auxiliary inversion, they express a condition as an embedded clause or they express a command via imperative mood.

Wh clauses

They always contain a wh-word. Wh-words often serve to help express a constituent question.

Relative clauses

They can be standard SV-clauses if they are introduced by that or lack a relative pronoun entirely, or they can be wh-clauses if they are introduced by a wh-word that serves as a relative pronoun.

Argument clauses

Argument clauses can appear as subjects, as objects, and as obliques.

Adjunct clauses

Adjunct clauses are embedded clauses that modify an entire predicate-argument structure.

Predicative clauses

An embedded clause can also function as a predicative expression.

In The Red Badge of Courage, Henry Fleming is a private of the army who escapes his duties and the field of battle. The red badge symbolizes the wound he hopes would be inflicted upon him as a punishment for his cowardice, since it makes him feel deeply ashamed to have fled war.

His job was to be the standard-bearer, which means to carry the flag in the fields, hence its importance to the story.

The sun is also utilized both metaphorically and figuratively in several occasions during the narration. In fact there's an entire book written about the role that the sun plays in the story.

However, there are no mentions of the moon used as any kind of significant symbol in this book.

The excerpt explores the theme of love in the sixteenth century poets' poems, each approaching it in a distinct way.

The excerpt can best be described as exploring the theme of love in the sixteenth century poets' poems. Although they all focus on human existence and the essential emotion of love, each poet approaches the theme in a unique way, resulting in distinct differences in the exploration of this theme. For example, one poet may portray love as a divine and pure emotion, while another may highlight the struggles and complexities of love.

The question involves analyzing the theme in literary works across different excerpts. Themes are crucial concepts in literature, reflective of repeated imagery, symbols, and character relationships, which can be influenced by genre and literary theory.

This question is exploring how to analyze and discuss the theme in various literary works. When looking at an excerpt and searching for its theme, you must identify the recurring concepts or ideas. For instance, the first excerpt discusses poets from the sixteenth century who use the theme of love to explore human existence, though they do so in unique ways. The second excerpt refers to a conflict in a Mark Twain text, which shapes the work's theme, suggesting that self-doubt and challenges to confidence can play a significant role. Moving on, the analysis of a text's theme involves the way settings, characters, and symbols relate and change over the course of the narrative to underline the text's deeper meanings, such as in the analysis of Gwendolyn Brooks's poem "We Real Cool".

When tasked with writing an essay on a certain theme, a good approach is to identify multiple works that share or reflect this theme. Considering the thematic analysis of literature, one looks for repeated imagery or symbols and examines relationships within the text. Furthermore, understanding the way a narrative is structured and evoking emotions are crucial to grasping the text's theme. Lastly, genre and literary theory can also inform a thesis statement by pinpointing how a piece reflects genre-specific forms or the tenets of a philosophy of literature.
