Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the participial phrase modifies the word "deer".  A participial phrase begins with a present or past participle and includes objects and modifiers that complete the thought.

Participial phrases always function as participles since they add description to the sentence. In this case, the participial phrase refers to "the newboorn deer".

Answer 2
Answer: The participial phrase "struggling to its feet" describes the deer in that sentence :)

Determine the rhyme scheme of "It Is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free"

Alright reading the poem "Its is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free" by Wordsworth, we can conclude the rhyme scheme in the following way.
It's important to recognize that "thought" and "not" rhyme, as that is a common mistake made within this text.
 We can determine rhyme scheme by looking at the last word in the line. If they rhyme then they are the same letter, if not we add a new letter.
So doing so we can get:

Why is this sentence not a thesis statement? Why is elementary school success an indicator of graduation rates?

Answers

It is not a thesis statement because it does not show your opinion on the research you would be conducting. In a research paper you would either try to confirm that they are not an indicator, or that they are an indicator. You wouldn't write a question such as this.

Which lines in this excerpt from Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich demonstrate that Gerasim is a character foil to Ivan Ilyich? But he had never had the spirit to do it. The awful, terrible act of his dying was, he could see, reduced by those about him to the level of a casual, unpleasant, and almost indecorous incident (as if someone entered a drawing room defusing an unpleasant odour) and this was done by that very decorum which he had served all his life long. He saw that no one felt for him, because no one even wished to grasp his position. Only Gerasim recognized it and pitied him. And so Ivan Ilyich felt at ease only with him. He felt comforted when Gerasim supported his legs (sometimes all night long) and refused to go to bed, saying: "Don't you worry, Ivan Ilyich. I'll get sleep enough later on," or when he suddenly became familiar and exclaimed: "If you weren't sick it would be another matter, but as it is, why should I grudge a little trouble?" Gerasim alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. Once when Ivan Ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "We shall all of us die, so why should I grudge a little trouble?"—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came.
