Which excerpt highlights the theme of the fleeting nature of life? But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
(Andrew marvell, " to his coy mistress)

And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
(John Donne, sonnet 10)

Of what is fit and not. Forsake thy cage,
Thy rope of sands,
Which petty thoughts have made, and made to thee
(George herbert, "the collar")

Thy beams, so reverend and strong
Why shouldst thou think?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long;
(John Donne, "the sun rising ")

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: The excerpt highlights the theme of the fleeting nature of life is the one by Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress."

Explanation: This excerpt from Marvell's famous poem is specifically referring to the ephemeral nature of life, since the speaker is saying that he is constantly hearing the chariot of time - which is fast since it has wings - hurrying near, and eternity is ahead of us waiting for all of us. This poem is, in fact, a call to seize the day (carpe diem) and enjoy the pleasures that life has to offer. The speaker is telling to his coy mistress that if time was unlimited they could wait before courting and loving each other, but it is not, so he is urging her to let him love her.

Are the underlined words in the sentence an independent clause, a subordinate clause, or neither? Where there is water, there are mosquitoes. A. subordinate clause B. independent clause C. neither

Answers

I don't see any underlined words in the sentence. However, I'll just post my answer based on my understanding.

Where there is water ⇒ subordinate clause
There are mosquitoes ⇒ independent clause

Independent clause is a complete sentence. It has a subject, a verb, and expresses a complete thought.

Subordinate clause is a dependent clause that starts with a conjunction. It also has a subject and a verb but it is dependent on the main clause.
