Answer: A) it is clumsy.

Explanation: the denotation of a word is its literal meaning, the definition that we can find in a dictionary, a word can have several denotations (or definitions). The definition of the word "ungainly" is lacking in smoothness or dexterity, awkward and without grace. And the denotation of the word "fowl" is a domesticated bird kept for its eggs or flesh. So when the speaker says that the raven is an "ungainly fowl" he means that it is a clumsy bird.

He is referring to the bird as clumsy because "ungainly" is define as "awkward" or "clumsy" and "fowl" is another word for "bird"

write a well worded paragraph in which you argue for or against the mandatory wearing of school uniforms. Give three reasons to
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

 Clothing as been a number one problem when it comes to the public school system. What other way to solve it then by wearing uniforms? Across the United States although 40 percent of schools use uniforms, parents never have to worry about buying new clothes for their child possibly every other day just so their child can "fit in". Secondly, when wearing regular clothing kids tend to mess with or focus on what they're wearing rather than their school work. When wearing uniforms there's nothing to worry about when it comes to fidilling with dressware, meaning that more kids can focus on actual school work rather than apparel. Therefore, school uniforms can not only increase learning but can make the school a better and safer place to learn.

Hope this helps :) I used to wear a uniform so it was easy :))
