b. woodlands
c. cherry blossoms
d. years

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

c. cherry blossoms  

Explanation:

"Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now" is one of the best instances of Housman's lyrical poems. The rustic setting of the Shropshire forests in springtime is a delightful sight, to view, with the cherry tree—the loveliest of trees—in full white sprout to commend the season of resurrection and revival related with Easter.

However the excellence evokes genuine emotion of despairing in the speaker, who understands that life is to be sure short; and regardless of whether he lives to his full future, that, as well, will be too short an opportunity to see such magnificence as these trees in sprout.

Answer 2
Answer:

"A Shropshire Lad 2: Loveliest of trees, the cherry now" is a really short poem, only three stanzas long, that was written by author A.E Housman and which made part of a larger collection known as "A Shropshire Lad", that was published in 1896. This volume, as well as "Last Poems", which was published in 1922, were the only two poetic works published by Housman. "A Shropshire Lad 2: Loveliest of trees, the cherry now" narrates the story of a person, the speaker, who is reflecting on the passage of time, especially of his own years, as he observes nature around him and its changes, especially the cherry blossoms, spring and the land where he is standing. He also reflects on his own mortality and the way in which he may correctly pass the last 50 years that he has left, after having lived 20. Throughout the poem, there are many symbols that speak about passage of time and the shortness of life, but nothing shows how fast things might change in an instant, better, than the image of the C: Cherry blossoms, as the speaker notes that they are in bloom, dressed all in white, but just like his life, which is passing by, this might change really fast. So he wants to start taking advantage of the time he has left and live life to the fullest.

Identify the sentence that contains an appositive phrase.a. After three hours on the road, the group spied an oasis.
b. The safari stopped at an oasis, a moist, fertile spot in the desert.
c. Ed had always wanted to go on a safari.
d. Going on a safari had been Ed’s life-long dream.

Answers

Answer:

The sentence that contains an appositive phrase is sentence B.

Explanation:

An appositive phrase is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. Because the information provided by the appositive is nonessential as the meaning of the sentence does not depend on it, it is offset with commas. If you removed the appositive from the sentence, the meaning would be left unchanged (see 1).

1) The safari stopped at an oasis


The answer is B.) The safari stopped at an oasis, a moist fertile spot in the desert.

The appositive phrase is a moist fertile spot in the desert. You can read the rest of the sentence without that part and still have a complete sentence. It describers oasis.

Determine the part of speech for the italicized word.The secret society met (underground) to discuss their plans for global domination.
noun
verb
adverb
adjective
preposition
conjunction

Answers

It is an ADVERB.

The word "underground" may function as an adverb or an adjective depending on the context. In this case, it works as an adverb as it modifies a verb: "met", it indicates where the secret society met. And consequently, it does not work as an adjective as adjectives only modify nouns. For a better understanding, here it is a brief definition:

An adverb is a word or set of words that modifies a verb, an adjective, a clause, another adverb, or a phrase, meaning that it can describe how, where, or when an action took place.

That is a adjective because it is describing where the society is meeting.
