What are the subjects in this compound sentence?The rain was heavy, but it was good for gardeners.

Choose all answers that are correct.

A.
good

B.
gardeners

C.
it

D.
rain

Answers

The answers are C and D Good is not a noun, and thus it cannot be a subject, because it is an adjective. B - gardeners, is a noun, but not a subject, it is the object of this sentence. C is the correct answer, it is a pronoun, which substitutes a noun, so they basically mean the same. And D is also correct, because it is the "doer of the action", it is falling. You can easily find the subject by asking the question - Who is doing it?

b and d
rain is a subject and so is gardeners. the rest are adjectives, articles, etc.

PLEASE HELP!! Read the excerpts from John Dryden's poem Annus Mirabilis. Which lines refer to the great fire that swept through the city of London in 1666?Yet like an English general will I die,
And all the ocean make my spacious grave:
Women and cowards on the land may lie;
The sea's a tomb that's proper for the brave.

Restless he pass'd the remnant of the night,
Till the fresh air proclaimed the morning nigh:
And burning ships, the martyrs of the fight,
With paler fires beheld the eastern sky.
...
Her flag aloft spread ruffling to the wind,
And sanguine streamers seem the flood to fire;
The weaver, charm'd with what his loom design'd,
Goes on to sea, and knows not to retire.

With roomy decks, her guns of mighty strength,
Whose low-laid mouths each mounting billow laves;
Deep in her draught, and warlike in her length,
She seems a sea-wasp flying on the waves.
...
The distance judged for shot of every size,
The linstocks touch, the ponderous ball expires:
The vigorous seaman every port-hole plies,
And adds his heart to every gun he fires!
. . .
But ah! how insincere are all our joys!
Which, sent from heaven, like lightning make no stay;
Their palling taste the journey's length destroys,
Or grief, sent post, o'ertakes them on the way.
. . .
Now down the narrow streets it swiftly came,
And widely opening did on both sides prey:
This benefit we sadly owe the flame,
If only ruin must enlarge our way.

The main difference between the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature and resources like EBSCOhost and Expanded Academic ASAP is that the Readers' Guide is A. only accessed in a library, while the other resources can be accessed online from anywhere. B. older and more comprehensive than the newer, online indexes. C. a basic index, while the other resources are full databases allowing access to actual articles. D. more universally accepted in an academic setting than the other indexes

Answers

C. a basic index, while the other resources are full databases allowing access to actual articles.

The Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature is just that - a guide. This means that it works as an index that a person would use for finding resources. It is not an actual database with full articles. EBSCOhost and Expanded Academic ASAP are online databases that allow the researcher access to full articles. Option B is wrong because it just is wrong as a statement an older index is not more comprehensive since it's missing the newer resources. Option A is also an incorrect statement.

The main difference between the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature and resources like EBSCO host and Expanded Academic ASAP is that the Readers' Guide is a basic index, while the other resources are full databases allowing access to actual articles. I believe the answer is C. I hope it helps.
