Which stanza structure does Emily Dickinson use in this excerpt from “Hope Is the Thing with Feathers”?Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

What kind of complement is the underlined word? The speaker sounded hoarse after talking for a few hours. (HOARSE underline)a. predicate nominative
b. predicate adjective
c. direct object
d. indirect object

Answers

The answer is letter B-- predicate adjective.

A predicative adjective could be one adjective or a phrase which includes an adjective and other modifiers. In the given sentence above, hoarse acts as a predicate adjective.

A predicate nominative, on the other hand, is a noun or a pronoun that always follows the verb and renames or describes the subject.

Direct object and indirect object are far from the correct answer.

Your answer is B, because it's describing the type of voice, which is the job of an adjective.

Identify the form of the word octopus’s.A.
singular possessive

B.
singular

C.
plural

D.
plural possessive

Answers

The form of the word octopus’s is singular possessive. Option A is correct,

The world octopus refers to both, the singular and the plural form.

Since many common nouns end in the letter s, conflicting policies and theories exist regarding how to show possession when writing them.

There are a few who add only an apostrophe to all nouns ending in s.

In case the word in in its plural form, to show plural possession of a itending in an s or s sound, you have to form the plural first; and then immediately use the apostrophe.

This would be A, as the plural form doesn't include an apostrophe.
