My father’s 1969 Volkswagen beetle. Which element is necessary to complete the sentence above? subject predicate subordinate clause independent clause

Answers

A subordinate clause would be needed to complete this sentence, since with only "My father’s 1969 Volkswagen beetle" we are not getting enough information to form a complete sentence.

Answer:

predicate

Explanation:

Without a predicate, this sentence is nothing more than a noun phrase working as a subject. To have a complete sentence, we need a predicate, that is, the part which introduces the verb linked to this subject. For example: "My father's 1969 Volkswagen beetle hasn't been cleaned in a decade."

Identify the figure(s) of speech in the following example. "I wandered lonely as a cloud..." apostrophe implied metaphor metaphor metonymy synecdoche simile

Answers

Answer: simile.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as." The figure of speech represented in the given example is a simile, because in the sentence the speaker uses the word "as" to compare himself with a cloud. So the correct answer is the last option.

I think it would be simile.

Choose the sentence below in which of is used correctly. A. We should of left early.
B. The three girls might of broken the records.
C. The boys surrendered, but they should of fought.
D. The bird flew north of the beach

Answers

The bird flew north of the beach is the answer.

It is that one because A should have been " We should have left early."
B should have been " The three girls might have broken the records."
C should have been " The boys surrendered, but they should have fought."
However if you put D in that context " The bird flew north have the beach."

In the context that A, B and C are in it doesn't make sense. 
Hope this helped. :)

D. The bird flew north of the beach


I need some help in English 1."Imagine a wolf moving through the northern woods. The movement, over a trail he has traversed many times before, is distinctive, unlike that of a cougar or a bear, yet he appears as if you are watching, sometimes catlike or bearlike. It is purposeful, deliberate movement. Occasionally the rhythm is broken by the wolf's pause to inspect a scent mark, or a move off the trail to paw among stones where a year ago he had cached meat."

Use the passage to answer the question.
In the passage from Of Wolves and Men, what does the author's use of detail achieve?
a. It emphasizes the variety of the wolf's senses.***
b. It highlights the dangers of the wilderness.
c. It describes the weaknesses of the wolf.
d. It explains the cycle of the seasons.


"A few minutes later he bolts suddenly into the woods, achieving full speed, almost forty miles per hour, for forty or fifty yards before he begins to skid, to lunge at a lodgepole pine cone. He trots away with it, his head erect, tail erect, his hips slightly to one side and out of line with his shoulders, as though hindquarters were impatient with forequarters, the cone inert in his mouth. He carries it for a hundred feet before dropping it by the trail."

Use this passage to answer the question.
In this passage from Of Wolves and Men, what is revealed about the wolf?
a. his intense playfulness
b. his steadfast loyalty
c. his subtle aggressiveness***
d. his consistent weakness

Answers

1. In my opinion, the correct answer is b. It highlights the dangers of the wilderness. The author doesn't just talk about various senses. He tells us how important and subtle the wolf's sense of smell is for his survival in the Northern woods, full of wild animals and predators, such as cougars and bears. The wolf is always watchful and alert.

2. I think the correct answer is c. his subtle aggressiveness. The cone detail may lead us to believe that the author intends to depict the wolf's playfulness. But it is more than just that. The wolf displays another attitude in his play with the cone. He shows that he is ever capable of survival, thanks to his aggressiveness.

Final answer:

The author's use of detail in the passages from 'Of Wolves and Men' helps to emphasize the wolf's strong sensory abilities (a) and his playful side (a). These details create an engaging and vivid picture of the wolf's behaviour and movements.

Explanation:

  • In the first passage of 'Of Wolves and Men', the author's use of detail creates a vivid picture of the wolf's sensory abilities and movements, highlighting the unique nature of the wolf as compared to other animals, such as a cougar or a bear. His actions are described as 'purposeful' and 'deliberate', suggesting alertness and adaptability; he navigates his well-trodden trail, inspects scent marks, and remembers where he had cached food a year ago. All these details portray the wolf's strong senses and exceptional memory.
  • In the second excerpt, through the wolf's behaviour of suddenly bolting, achieving a high speed, lunging a pine cone, carrying it playfully, and then dropping it, the author reveals the playful side of the wolf. His entire brisk movement, the way he deviated his path to grasp a pine cone and carried it around, shows the wolf's playful demeanour, as opposed to highlighting any aggression.

Which word set completes the following analogy? ruler : carpenter :: gardener : shovel farmer : tractor walk : horse chalk : teacher

Answers

Answer: D) chalk : teacher.

Explanation: an analogy is a comparison between one thing and another, usually with the purpose of explanation or clarification, this comparison is based on one similarity or difference between specific features of two things. The relation between the first pair of words "ruler" and "carpenter" is that the first word is a tool, and the second one is a job (the carpenter uses the ruler). The pair of words that follows this same relation, is "chalk" and "teacher" (the teacher uses the chalk).

the answer is chalk : teacher. a ruler is a item and so is the chalk so the ruler : carpenter as the chalk : teacher
