Answer:
Mahatma Gandhi used his ambition to help India become independent from England and gained renown in the process, but he led a simple life and never chased fame.
Explanation:
The underlined topic sentence is the following:
- But, if we are ambitious to do good, without any regard for the fame we may win or the praise we may command, our course will be honorable and our acts will be worthy.
The topic sentence is the most important sentence of the paragraph. It lets us know what the rest of the paragraph will be about and is usually found at its beginning.
The evidence that supports the given topic sentence is the sentence about Mahatma Gandhi. We can see that he helped India gain independence but not because he wanted fame. He simply wanted to help his people and always led a simple life, despite his achievements. This is exactly what the underlined sentence tells about - being ambitious, but not for selfish reasons.
Answer:
1. Jesus Christ offers us eternal life. Subject--Verb--Indirect Object--Direct Object
2. Some riddles are easy to answer.
Subject--Linking Verb--Predicate Adjective
3. The deal seems fair.
Subject--Linking Verb--Predicate Adjective
4. My cousins live by the ocean.
Subject--Verb
Explanation:
1- Jesus Christ is the subject; offers is the transitive verb; us in the indirect object /objective pronoun; eternal life is the direct object.
2- Some riddle is the subject- are (be) linking verb -easy(to answer) is a predicative adjective.
3-The deal is the subject; seems is the linking verb; fair is the predictive adjective.
4- My cousins is the subject; live is an intrasitive verb
Live is neither a transitive nor a linking verb so :<em>By the ocean</em> is the adverbial complement but it is not mentioned in the pattern.
