Select the sentence with a clause used as a predicate noun. The boy who arrived here Tuesday was running late. We left the diner late because we saw some old friends. The reason she bought those shoes was that her friend told her to.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: I believe the correct answer is the third sentence, because a predicate noun is the first noun which follows a linking verb (such as appear, be, etc.), and the third sentence is the only such sentence. The predicate noun would be 'friend', because it follows a verb 'was'.

Read the passage below from “Marigolds” and answer question.Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes.

The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay.The passage above is an example of which point of view?First personThird-person limitedThird-person omniscientSwitches between first-person and third-person limited

Question from my textbook: Cortazar begins the narrative with the plot concerning the motorcycle accidents rather than the one with the manhunt. Why is this choice an effective way to structure the story?
Story: "The Night Face Up" by Cortazar

Answers

This a effective strategy that many authors use to give there readers a grasp of attention or a basis/hook to capture the reader into the inevitable thoughts that you pondered or felt.

--HC

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, considering the plot twist at the end that shows the motorcycle scenario was a dream, this was an effective option. This choice is an interesting way to structure the story because it allows the reader to become acquainted with the plot before moving on to the suspense and anxiety of coping with a manhunt. This is a good way to start a story because it whets the reader's appetite for more. He or she may like to know why the accident occurred, as well as the repercussions and outcome. A successful narrator should find a way to include those in their writing to keep the reader's attention. The feeling of suspense will cause the reader to turn the pages of the novel, trying to find out what is going on.

Which line from this excerpt from "Totally like whatever, you know?" demonstrates the poet's ability to apply proper use of syntax? "It's like what I've heard?

a- It's like what I've heard?
b- I have nothing personally invested in my own opinions, okay?
c-I'm just inviting you to join me in my uncertainty?
d- What has happened to our conviction? is this right

Answers

The line from this excerpt that demonstrates the poet's ability to apply proper use of syntax is D. What has happened to our conviction? In A, the word like makes the sentence seem too colloquial. In B, you shouldn't end a sentence with okay if you want to be formal. In C, this isn't really a question, but there is a question mark at the end of the sentence. Thus, the only correct option is D.

B.(Studious) Lucy lay on her bed reading a back issue of NationalGeographic.
C.(Freedom) On her twenty-first birthday, Lola declared herself awoman.
D. (Rumors)Whispers of doubt filled the empty halls like the reek of rotten eggs

Answers

Answer: D. (Rumors) Whispers of doubt filled the empty halls like the reek of rotten eggs.

Explanation: when writing, one of the best ways to explain a concept, an idea or a perspective is to use figurative language, because in this way the reader creates a mental image of the idea and it is easier to understand. From the given sentences the one that most effectively translates the abstract concept is the one corresponding to "rumors" because it compares the rumors with the reek of rotten eggs, creating a mental image.

I'm not completely sure, but I think d because it really helps to show that rumors aren't good with the use of "like the reek of rotten eggs." It really paints a picture of what it means.
