Rewrite the following compound sentence as a complex sentence by changing the italicized clause to a subordinate clause.Harry drew near the fire, and he nearly singed his jacket.

Answers

Answer:

When Harry drew near the fire, he nearly singed his jacket.

Explanation:

The original sentence is compound, meaning it consists of two independent clauses, or clauses that can stand alone separately. On the other hand, a complex sentence consists of at least one dependent clause and one independent clause.

By rewriting Harry drew near the fire (which is an independent clause) as When Harry drew near the fire (which is a dependent clause that cannot stand alone), we create a complex sentence along with the independent clause that follows.

Which of the following prefixes represents the smallest value? Centi Deca Deci Milli

Answers

Answer:

Milli

Explanation:

centi means hundredth(0.01)

deca means tenth(10)

deci mean one tenth(0.1)

milli means thousandth(0.001)

When you think of centi think of pennies or cents. There are 100 pennies in a dollar. Or a cent is %0.01 of a dollar.

When you think of deca think of a decade - a span of 10 years.

When you think of deci think of a decimal. Because well that's what the decimal is named after. It's used to seperate the ones and tenths place.

English is a bit confusing, so when you think of milli you probably think of million. Instead, think of the Spanish word for thousand which is 'mil'. Milli is the mil littleit is the thousand which is little.

Hope I helped,

-Lily-
centi means hundredth(100)
deca means tenth(10)
deci mean one tenth(0.1)
milli means thousand(1000)

So the smallest value and the correct answer is  deci mean one tenth(0.1).

What is the theme of the story of Rapunzel

Answers

Doing something forbidden may cost you something you truly love. In this case, for Rapunzel's mother. She does something that is forbidden (eats the rampion) and she ends up losing something dear to her (her child.) and Determination of love. After Rapunzel is banished to a desert, and the prince loses his eyesight. The two of them could of easily moved on from each other and given up. However they did not, because they were determined to find each other, because they were in love.

Every great story has at least one theme, a central idea that the story’s events make the reader think about deeply. These themes are like the foundation of the story, giving the reader some solid ground to stand on as the tale unfolds. While some stories may contain many themes, they all need at least one to give them a purpose and direction. Several themes appear in the Brothers Grimm short story Rapunzel, which include; forbidden temptations may cost you something you truly love, and determination of love. The first apparant theme in Rapunzel is that forbidden temptations may cost you something you truly love. In the beginning of the story, Rapunzel's mother was "standing by [the] window and looking down into the garden, when she saw a bed which was planted with the most beautiful rampion, and it looked so fresh and green that she longed for it" (1). This already shows bad temptation, considering that the rampion is not hers, therefore she shouldn't take it without asking. She asked her husband to get her some, going as far as saying "if I can't eat some of the rampion . . . I shall die" (1). The husband complied, although he knows it is a wrong thing to do, shown when he thinks to himself, "bring her some of the rampion yourself, let it cost what it will" (1).

The first apparent theme in Rapunzel is that forbidden temptations may cost you something you truly love. In the beginning of the story, Rapunzel's mother was "standing by [the] window and looking down into the [enchantress's] garden, when she saw a bed which was planted with the most beautiful rampion, and it looked so fresh and green that she longed for it" (1). This already shows bad temptation, considering that the rampion is not hers, therefore she shouldn't take it without asking. She asked her husband to get her some, going as far as saying "if I can't eat some of the rampion . . . I shall die" (1). This shows that she is already addicted to the thought of having some of this rampion; she is letting it rule her life already, even though she hasn't had any of it yet. The husband complied, although he knows it is a wrong thing to do, shown when he thinks to himself, "bring her some of the rampion yourself, let it cost what it will" (1). He brought the rampion to her, however, this only makes her addiction worse, as she now wants it "three times as much as before" (1). He ventured back into the garden, however this time he was discovered by the enchantress, who was very angry. He explained his situation to her, and afterwards she told him that she would "allow [him] to take away with [him] as much rampion as [he] will" but he must "give [her] the child which [his] wife [would] bring into the world" (2). This rampion addiction of hers cost her the only thing she ever wanted, a child. She was selfish, and didn't think of the consequences of taking something that wasn't hers. This just proves that forbidden temptations may cost you something you truly love.
