Answers
Answer 1
Answer:
The answer is A. The poem has a dark and somewhat pessimistic feel, saying that only the bad of heart have ambition and the good of mind and heart lack the passion and ambition. As well as the phrase "innocence drowned" this shows a more morbid tone.
Which words in the sentence make up the appositive phrase? Our cats, the ones with the calico fur, are always so playful. A. so playful B. Our cats C. the ones with the calico fur D. are always so playful
Answers
I believe the answer should be C. This is because an appositive phrase is a part of the sentence that renames another noun in some way. So if I say "My lily, the gigantic flower in my backyard, has stopped growing." then I can look and see that the part saying "the gigantic flower in my backyard" has just rephrased the part "My lily", and the same applies to your sentence. The part saying "the ones with the calico fur" just restates the part "Our cats".

Read these lines of poetry: The fox in the henhouse laughed, and the pigs looked out from their sty. They oinked and alerted the horses, who bolted from the barn built nearby. Which line contains an example of alliteration? A. "The fox in the henhouse laughed," B. "who bolted from the barn built nearby." C. "They oinked and alerted the horses," D. "and the pigs looked out from their sty."
Answers
it would be "who bolted from the barn built nearby" because alliteration is many of the same letters in a sentence. For example Larry’s lizard likes leaping leopards
B is the right answer because the letter b is used repeatedly. bolted, barn, and built
Do you think guns should be illegal in the United States and why? Give two reasons why.
Answers
No, guns should be legal in the United States.
Banning guns doesn't work. Hitler banned guns, Zedong banned guns, and guess what? They killed millions and millions of people after they banned them. How are WE suppose to stand up for ourselves if guns are banned? Most people feel safe with a gun. Guns are not the problem, it's the person using them the incorrect way. The best thing to do nowadays is to teach everybody to use a gun the CORRECT WAY. Not to shoot humans, dogs/cats.
Banning guns will not stop crimes, or stop people from hurting each other. There are knives, swords, etc.
I think that banning guns would make the US safer because then the criminals would have to turn them in and the gangsters would have nothing to shoot each other with. I also think that there should be security cameras and full body scanners everywhere in public places to prevent mass shootings. I think that only the police and the president and the secret service should be allowed to have guns because they work for the government and the government would never abuse it's power.
