Answer 1

Answer:

1. While he was taking a shower, Jimi Hendrix had a brilliant idea.

2. After she tried on twelve shirts, Ginny Weasley decided to buy only two.

5. Since we don't have enough people to play charades, Jar Jar Binks suggested we watch a movie instead.

7. If Lucius Malfoy doesn't get here soon, we will have to leave for the zoo without him.

Explanation:

Subordinating conjunctions are used to link a dependent clause to an independent one. Dependent clauses don't convey full meaning and they can't stand on its own in a sentence so they need to be connected with independent clause. General rule is that if a dependent clause precedes an independent in a sentence, it needs to be separated from it with a coma.

That means that sentences 1), 2), 5) and 7) require commas.

Answer:

D. "The surf dances" reinforces the happy feeling of the poem because dancing often makes people happy.

Explanation:

The question asks for a phrase with personification, which means a non living object is described so that it seems like it is alive. "The children play" is not a use of personification because children are, obviously, living. In contrast, "The surf dances" is an example of personification because the surf, or the ocean, is not alive. So, either B or D could be the correct answer. B says that "dancing requires a great deal of physical effort", but that isn't what the poem is about. D says "dancing often makes people happy", and the poem's mood is happy, so it most clearly contributes to the overall meaning of the poem.

What grammatical structure is the italicized portion of the sentence? The weather remaining turbulent, we will postpone our canoe trip. present participial phrase nominative absolute appositive past participial phrase prepositional phrase with a gerund

Answers

Answer:

Nominative absolute.

Explanation:

Nominative absolute in grammar is a sentence construction where a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun is in the nominative and is used to start or end a sentence. It is normally used as a loose modifier of the whole sentence, with the noun, noun phrase, or pronoun followed by the modifiers.

In the given sentence, the nominative absolute is "the weather remaining turbulent", which also acts as a modifier for the independent clause "we will postpone our canoe trip."

Thus, the correct answer is nominative absolute.

Which excerpt from the call of the wild provides story details that would likely be absent if Buck were the narrator

Answers

Answer:

"Dave refused to run quietly on the trail behind the sled, where the going was easy, but continued to flounder alongside in the soft snow, where the going was most difficult, till exhausted."

Explanation:

'The Call of the Wild' is a short adventure novel penned by Jack London. The novel is narrated from a very atypical point of view i.e. dog. However, the Buck's consciousness could not relate to the readers, thus, Noel Gaulin(a human character) is opted to narrate Buck's perspective.

As per the question, the excerpt 'Dave...exhausted' offers details of the story which could be absent if Buck would be narrating the story. The key reason behind is that it shows the strength of Buck that he displays to adjust to the cruel realities of the life at Frosty North.

Dave refused to run quietly on the trail behind the sled, where the going was easy, but continued to flounder alongside in the soft snow, where the going was most difficult, till exhausted."
