Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below: President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike. The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory. Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

How are the Greek values of family and perseverance shown through Odysseus’s return home?

Answers

Odysseus returns successfully to Ithaca to reclaim his throne and his family. He triumphed over many challenges and never gave up on his family. His return shows how important family was to the Greeks and how necessary it is to never give up.
We can see Greek family values based on Penelope who waited for Odysseus for 10 years to come home and did not want to marry any of the suitors. His Son is also always on his side and believes that he'll come back. Even his dog is faithful and is one of the rare Ithacians who recognizes him.

Which of these words is an example of an absolute adjective

Answers


Here is an example

You are either 'dead' or not; you can not be 'dead-er' or 'more dead' than someone.

Dead is therefore an example of an absolute adjective - adjectives that can not take a comparative or superlative ('dead-est') form.

Using an absolute adjective in a comparative sentences makes your English sound strange so watch out!

Another example of an absolute adjective is 'unique' because it means 'one of a kind' and, therefore, it can not be 'more unique' than something. It's either 'unique' or it isn't.
Hope this helps!

A. Talented

B. Younger

C. Correct

D. Gentle

The answer is C. correct, you can not be more correct so therefore it is an absolute adjective.

A, b, and D. all have the expression " was promissed" in them, which points to the fact that they're all in passive voice. C however doesn't have any passive voive in it, only active voice, as seen in the verb "promissed" (without "was").

c- correct answer.
'c' is the correct answer because the agent of the action 'April' is mentioned doing the task.

Answers

Though there are no italicized words in any of the sentences. I would assume that the correct answers are either letter A or letter B. 

In letter A, Washington Post, can be italicized to connote a name of the Newspaper in the sentence. In letter B, South Pacific, can be italicized to emphasize the title of the Broadway Musical in the sentence. Either A or B is the answer to your question.

Which sentence contains an abstract noun? A. Jenny brews coffee every morning before work. B. What do you think about the new tax law? C. It takes diligence and hard work to succeed in life. D. I'm tired of all this rain

Answers

Answer:

C. It takes diligence and hard work to succeed in life.

Explanation:

Abstract nouns are nouns that name things that are not concrete, that is to say, things that we can not detect with either of our five senses (smell, taste, sight, hearing, and touch). Examples of this type of nouns are ideas, theories, feelings, emotions, conditions, events, like death, birthdays, marriage, qualities and intangible concepts like "diligence" which refers to a careful and persistent work or effort and "hard work" because they are things we can not interact with or detect with our five senses).
The answer is C! An abstract noun is something the five senses cannot detect, and "diligence" is not something you can see, touch, taste, smell, or hear. Hope this helped!
