English

Answer:

Both Frederick Douglass's Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, and Helen Keller's The Story of My Life were written to help their respective authors learn to read and write while overcoming significant personal challenges. Both writers want to learn and grow, which is the main reason they want to study.

Both narrators overcame hardships. Helen and Frederick learned despite challenges. Both themes also vary. Helen Keller was blind and deaf like Frederick Douglass. Frederick is discouraged from learning, while Helen isn't. Frederick always wanted to read and write, but Helen didn't at first. Helen had one tutor. Frederick was well-educated. When Frederick's mistress stopped teaching him, he learned from anybody who would. Helen traced words on her hands. Frederick read aloud using letter sounds. Both verses show that anybody may read, write, or learn a language, even in sad times. Both narrators overcome hurdles and achieve their aims, despite their differences.

This is only my opinion; feel free to alter it as you see fit.

Read the following passage and answer the question. The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear
Inessa05 [86]

The phrase which must be revised to create parallel structure is, 'To not walk near the quicksand.'

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Parallel structure is a literary device which is often used by writers and poets to create a smooth flow in writing. In parallel structure, same pattern of words are being used to indicate that all the ideas contains the same level of importance.

In the sentence, ‘The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear moccasins, and to not walk near the quicksand’ if we rephrase the last line after conjunction, then the sentence will become a parallel structure.

‘To not walk near the quicksand’ should be rephrased as ‘that he should not walk near the quicksand.’ So the sentence would be ‘The general told Rainsford that he should take a knife, that he should wear moccasins, and that he should not walk near the quicksand.’

nata0808 [166]

An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject, a predicate, and a complete thought. A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate, but does NOT express a complete thought.

I looked it up... I'm not sure if that's the right answer.
