English IV
Students have repeatedly peered through the window to humanity that literature has opened for them.
Through it, they have gained valuable perspective on their world, past and present. Close-textual interaction with literature should have heightened appreciation for those texts, improved critical and analytical skills in reading and writing, enhanced speaking and listening abilities, and enriched students' academic and personal vocabulary. This course is organized chronologically, so students can see the influences on and evolution of the ideas and forms. Writing, research, and speaking assignments will continue to focus on formulating and expressing ideas and arguments about the readings. Particular emphasis is placed on gaining critical perspective on the relationship between content and form and on synthesizing ideas into clear and concise prose and presentations.
Goals for this course include:
- Refining reading skills: summary, annotation, analysis, evaluation, and interpretation
- Identifying explicit and implicit meaning in European literature and philosophy
- Analyzing a text from multiple perspectives (historical, literary, psychological, religious, philosophical)
- Comparing and contrasting the treatment of a similar theme or topic in two or more works
- Analyzing literary elements: narrative/poetic/dramatic structure, point of view, theme, allegory, satire, character
Answer:
The anniversary of the day on which a person was born, typically treated as an occasion for celebration and the giving of gifts.

Answer:
<u>Canning </u>or<u> freezing</u> keeps food from spoiling.
Explanation:
I've underlined the subject and written the predicate in bold letters.
The subject is the part of the sentence that tells us who or what is performing an action expressed by the verb. It can also tell us who or what is being described by the predicate.
The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.
Here, the subject are the words <em>canning</em> and<em> freezing</em>. This is a compound subject - a subject that consists of two or more simple subjects that share a verb or verb phrase. The verb these words share is <em>keeps</em>. This verb is a part of the complete predicate: <em>keeps food from spoiling.</em>
To confirm this, we can ask:
- for the subject - <em>What keeps food from spoiling? </em><em>Canning or freezing.</em>
- for the predicate - <em>What does canning or freezing do? It </em><em>keeps</em><em> </em><em>food from spoiling.</em>
