Select the abbreviation that tells how the italicized noun clause is used.S-subject, DO-direct object, SC-subject complement, OP-object of preposition
I am optimistic enough to believe that young people will respond to a challenge.
S
OP
SC
DO

Answers

The abbreviation that tells how the italicized noun clause is used is DO. The fourth option is correct.

The clause: "that young people will respond to a challenge" is a direct object. This clause cames right after the verb believe which is a transitive verb which requires a direct object to conve a compkete thought that makes sense.

The direc object is a noun phrase denoting a person or thing that is the recipient of the action of a transitive verb
Since the noun clause in this example is '(that) young people will respond to a challenge', the correct answer is DO, it is a direct object. Because believe is a transitive verb, and requires a direct object.

Who says I dreamt to-night that I did feast with Caesar, And things unlucky charge my fantasy;
I have no will to wander forth of doors,
Yet something leads me forth.

Answers

Answer:

Cinna the Poet.

Explanation:

In Act 3, Scene 3 of the play "Julius Caesar" Cinna the poet enters the stage and says that he had a dream of feasting with Caesar.

The Act is important as in this act plebeians kills the wrong person. One of the conspirators of Caesar's assassination was Cinna. But the plebeians mistaken Cinna the poet to be Cinna the conspirator kills him.

This act of plebeians reveals that though the conspirators had killed Caesar's body but they could not kill Caesar from the thoughts of the citizens of Rome.

So, the correct answer is Cinna the poet.  

How do the words grieving, sigh, and blight affect the mood of "Spring and Fall"? A. They add a note of sorrow to the poem's hopeful mood. B. They bring a realistic tone to the poem's dreamlike tone. C. They lighten the poem's angry mood. D. They deepen the poem's sorrowful mood.

Answers

I think it' s D because these words reflect the sorrow of understanding loss, mortality condition and death. Though the poem's tone is childish, the contrast to the man's evolution after the symbolic Fall into the decay is powerful and reinforced by such words like' grieving', 'weep', 'wanwood' or 'leafmeal' coming to support the idea that loss is a kind of all-consuming experience in every human's life.

The answer is D. They deepen the poem's sorrowful mood.
