Read the following excerpt and pay close attention to the words the author uses: Those who came before us made certain that this

country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond. We have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding. In a paragraph of four to six sentences, identify three words or phrases with positive connotations and explain how these words influence the paragraph. Be sure to specifically answer the following questions in your response: What images or ideas are associated with each word? How do these words influence the meaning and tone of this passage? Use proper spelling and grammar in your response.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is not so much the words that important by themselves. It is that paragraph uses parallel sentence structure to compare and contrast what will be done to maintain and uphold what our forefathers have accomplished.

  • this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space,
  • We have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace.
  • We have vowed that we shall not see weapons of mass destruction but instruments of knowledge and understanding.

Notice how powerful the language is. It contrasts what won't be done with what will, and what will be done always points to the positive.

In which of the following sentences do you find a verb phrase? A. The crowed roared as the bull charged. B. June was a collector
Goshia [24]
Option “D” is the correct option. “I shall be all that I am and more” is a perfect sentence that has a verb phrase. Actually any verb phrase should technically consist of a phrase that has more than one verb of different types. In regards to the options given, we can see that only in case of option “D” there is a phrase having two verbs and they are “shall and “be”. The other given sentences normally consist of a single verb and so cannot be considered a verb phrase.

And suddenly the sound stopped. Now they calmed down.

When they turned back to look at the engine, they saw something. All of them were terrified. They couldn't believe their eyes. A woman wearing a while cloth was standing in the front. All their faces turned white with fear

Everyone were so frightened that they did not care to help him even though the poor fellow was screaming at the top of his voice. They turned back and saw that the woman was taking away the poor fellow along with her while the boy was drenched in tears . The next thing they noticed was the woman standing infront of them. She was almost about to kill them as well when phew........ he woke up.  It was just a dream!!!!!
