“Autumn Gilt”
by Valerie Bloom

The late September sunshine
Lime green on the linden leaves
Burns bronze on the slated roof-tops,
Yellow on the farmer’s last sheaves.

It flares flame-like on the fire hydrant,
Is ebony on the blackbird’s wing,
Blue beryl on the face of the ocean,
Glints gold on the bride’s wedding ring.

A sparkling rainbow on the stained-glass window,
It’s a silver sheen on the kitchen sink,
The late September sunshine
Is a chameleon, I think.

in which sentence does the appositive or appositive phrase rename the direct object?

A) My jacket, a windbreaker, keeps me perfectly warm in the cool, damp cave.
B) She is an archaeologist, a historic explorer, who works in Egypt.
C) I bought a book, an atlas of famous caves.
D) I called my friend Caruso, the name of a famous operatic tenor, because he likes to sing in the caves.

Answers

the answer is c, i bought a book, an atlas of famous caves

The correct answer is C. I bought a book, an atlas of famous caves.

Appositives and appositive phrases are used to describe subjects and direct objects. They are usually separated from the rest of the sentence using commas.

A is incorrect because the appositive a windbreaker is renaming the subject my jacket; B is incorrect because the appositive phrase a historic explorer is renaming the predicate nominative an archaeologist; D is incorrect because the appositive phrase the name of a famous operatic tenor is renaming object complement rather than the direct object.

This leaves us with sentence C - here, the noun a book is a direct object, and the appositive phrase an atlas of famous caves renames it.

What is most likely the speaker's intent in this excerpt from the speech? The Hypocrisy of American Slavery by Frederick Douglass (excerpt) Fellow citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions, whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are today rendered more intolerable by the jubilant shouts that reach them. If I do forget, if I do not remember those bleeding children of sorrow this day, "may my right hand forget her cunning, and may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth!" To forget them, to pass lightly over their wrongs and to chime in with the popular theme would be treason most scandalous and shocking, and would make me a reproach before God and the world. My subject, then, fellow citizens, is "American Slavery." I shall see this day and its popular characteristics from the slave's point of view. Standing here, identified with the American bondman, making his wrongs mine, I do not hesitate to declare, with all my soul, that the character and conduct of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this Fourth of July. Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting. America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future. Standing with God and the crushed and bleeding slave on this occasion, I will, in the name of humanity, which is outraged, in the name of liberty, which is fettered, in the name of the Constitution and the Bible, which are disregarded and trampled upon, dare to call in question and to denounce, with all the emphasis I can command, everything that serves to perpetuate slavery -- the great sin and shame of America! "I will not equivocate - I will not excuse." I will use the severest language I can command, and yet not one word shall escape me that any man, whose judgment is not blinded by prejudice, or who is not at heart a slave-holder, shall not confess to be right and just. Answer choices: A. to convey the horrors and barbarity faced by millions of slaves due to the oppressive laws of the state B. to criticize the white population for celebrating liberty while enforcing slavery on the black population C. to mock the white population's arrogance about the superiority of their race compared to the black slaves D. to question the beliefs and principles on which the US Constitution was formed E. to criticize the nation for not allowing the black slaves to participate in their celebration of Independence Day

Answers

The answer is C.

The play we are about to read will fill in the details of this story.

Answer:

The play we are about to read will fill in the details of this story.

Explanation:

The line is fundamentally saying: What is missed here, our play should fix. Of the reaction decisions, Option A, What is inadequate in this portrayal is deficient in our play, is certainly not a right proclamation, so this answer is just off-base. The rest are for the most part right proclamations, however just a solitary one is the best repetition. B is a right explanation however it includes the possibility that there are "delicious subtleties". The line does not allude to whether the data is succulent.

Choice D is additionally right, be that as it may, the line doesn't state that the preface is a presentation and it ca exclude the entire story. Alternative C is the best decision since it precisely rehashes the line without including additional data.

One of the dangers of social media is that:

A. people can easily join an interest group.
B. you can find friends you have lost touch with.
C. job applications can be filled out online.
D. employers can use online activity against you.

Answers

The correct answer would be the fourth option D) because its true, posting stuff on social media can ruin your reputation in real life and make it harder for jobs to accept you since you are representing them, its not C) because that's a benefit, not B) because that's a benefit, not A) because that's not a danger so its D).

Final answer:

The correct answer is D, employers can use online activity against you. Social media can negatively impact professional opportunities if used irresponsibly. Caution is advised when posting as it can affect one's career opportunities and professional reputation.

Explanation:

The question pertains to the potential dangers of using social media. Among the options provided, the correct answer is D. Employers can use online activity against you. This is a well-documented risk where personal information and one's digital footprint on social networking sites can impact professional opportunities negatively. For instance, employers and college admissions offices often review online profiles and activities of potential candidates, which can lead to negative consequences if they find unprofessional or inappropriate content.

Networking through sites like LinkedIn can provide significant advantages in job searches and career development. However, the public nature of these platforms can expose users to risks if they are not cautious. For example, posting sensitive personal information or unprofessional content might not only invade one's privacy but can also result in damaging one's professional reputation.

It is essential to always think before sharing online and consider how a current or future employer would perceive such content. Because everything posted on social media goes into the public domain, it can potentially have long-lasting effects on one's life and career opportunities. As the digital and real-world continue to intertwine, exercising discretion in online activities becomes ever more crucial.

Identify the archetypal situation represented in the excerpt from The Odyssey. Support your decision with details from the story.

Answers

Answer:

Hey there, it would be a valuable piece of literature,an also a important reason to be the fact that it teaches virtues and values to our society. This is the main reason why The Odyssey is considered valuable today  because it teaches virtues and values.

The archetypal situation represented in the excerpt from The Odyssey is that Ulysses is an excellent example of the Hero archetype. He is brave, and cunning, and risks his own life to save his men.  

What is The Odyssey about?

The Odyssey is an epic poem in 24 books traditionally attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer. The poem is the story of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who wanders for 10 years although the action of the poem covers only the final six weeks trying to get home after the Trojan War.

The majority of the Odyssey takes place on and around the Aegean Sea before concluding in Odysseus’s kingdom of Ithaca. The Odyssey was intended for oral performance. The poem was likely transmitted through generations of oral poets well before it was written down. While there is no conclusive evidence supporting the historicity of the Odyssey’s story and its characters, it has been proposed that geographic elements of Homer’s poem were real and have persisted into the present.

It’s been suggested that oral poets performed epics such as the Odyssey in song form.

Answer: D) be placed both before and after the nonessential element.

Explanation: When we use commas to separate a nonessential element (or subordinate clause) that is in the middle of a sentence, from the rest of the sentence (usually the independent clause), we have to put a comma before and another one after the nonessential element, for example: Mary, my boyfriend's sister, is very tall.
