What is the use of this capitalized noun clause:THAT I WAS IN A HURRY was no excuse for my rudeness
Subject
Subject complement
Direct object

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The correct answer is 'subject'. You can tell what the subject of a sentence is by asking yourself what the verb is referring to. In this case, the verb, 'was', is saying that 'That I was in a hurry' was no excuse, so it must be a subject.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

B.  I will finish my biology lab report before I start on my assignment for history

Explanation:

In English language, an independent clause is a group of word that contains a subject and a verb giving complete meaning. Dependent clause, on the other hand, is a group of words having a subject and a verb but it does not give a complete sense. Dependent clause can be recognized with dependent marker words like 'when', 'where', 'if', etc.

Answer:

B. I will finish my biology lab report before I start on my assignment for history.

Explanation:

An independent clause is a clause or group of words that can stand on its own, have a meaningful sentence and can be used as a full sentence. On the other hand, a dependent clause is one which does not have the capability to be deemed a full meaningful sentence, and is not even able to stand on its own. Rather, it is always used alongside an independent clause to have its full meaningful sentence.

If a sentence begins with an independent clause, then there is no requirement for the use of a comma in the sentence. The phrase "I will finish my biology lab report" is the independent clause, for which the use of a comma is not necessary. Thus, the correct sentence where the independent clause comes first is -

I will finish my biology lab report before I start on my assignment for history.

How do the lines from kubla khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge affect the overall tone

Answers

The lines from the poem “Kubla Khan” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge affect the overall tone by being mystical. The words used are related to mysterious events, characters, and places. All of these three are described in an artistic manner of using meaningful adjectives.

Answer:

In "Kubla Khan," Coleridge describes the creation and destruction of Kubla Khan's palace in the  

exotic location of Xanadu, which gives the poem a  

dreamlike quality. Through the  

historical  character of Kubla Khan, Coleridge uses the wild image of the Mongols to suggest that Kubla Khan is insane, implying that all creative actions are the acts of  mad men.  

The last lines bring the poem to a  

climactic  close. Flashing eyes evoke the image of passionate creativity. By talking about "holy dread," Coleridge suggests that creation is both  

sacred and demonic.

Which sentence in this excerpt from “Final Night” by Laura Emily Goldblatt is the paragraph’s topic sentence?

Answers

The sentence in this excerpt from “Final Night” by Laura Emily Goldblatt that is the paragraph’s topic sentence would be "(1) This camp is no ordinary place" because this is the setting and subject. 

The correct answer is (1) This camp is no ordinary place

Explanation:

A topic sentence is the sentence that expresses or summarizes the main idea of a paragraph, this sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph and encapsulates the rest of the sentences of the paragraph, this means the paragraph is composed of a topic sentence that tells the reader what the paragraph is about and a set of supporting sentences that explain the topic sentence. Considering this in the excerpt from "Final Night" "(1) This camp is no ordinary place" is the topic sentence not only because it is the first sentence but because this sentence is a summary of the paragraph, in this way, sentence (2) and (3) explain the reasons why the camp was no ordinary, but it is in sentence (1) the general idea of the paragraph is set.

Describe Mark Twain's writing style in this selection.In a chart like the one below give examples of the word choices and use of irony that contribute to his style

Answers

Answer:

Mark Twain's observations in his writings made him an undisputed, and for many insurmountable, master of the art of irony.

With a popular and humorous style, Mark Twain contrasts in his works the idealized world of childhood, innocent and at the same time rogue, with a disenchanted conception of the adult man. In his later works, however, the sense of humor gives way to pessimism and bitterness expressed with irony and sarcasm.

Explanation:

Some examples of his ironic style are the following:

"It is stated that German wine is distinguished from vinegar solely by label."

"The new fashion philosophers declare that it is urgent to buy land because it is no longer being manufactured and it is very necessary."

"The new thinkers pose the great need of women for humans because without them there would be very few inhabitants of the earth."

"I, Mark Twain, assure you that if you ban me from smoking in heaven I will retire from there."

 

"I think if you could cross the human with the cat, it would improve while the human would decay."

"Building walls around a cemetery is a useless expense because those who are inside do not want to leave and those who are outside do not want to enter."

 

"When I die, I will choose paradise for the weather and hell for good company."
