The italicized noun clause is "what i like best about the farm."

Answer: B) Subject complement.

Explanation: A noun clause is a dependent clause that acts as a noun. Noun clauses begin with words such as how, that, what, whatever, etc. Noun clauses can act as subjects, subject complements, direct objects, indirect objects, predicate nominatives, or objects of a preposition. In the given sentence the noun clause is used as a subject complement because it is placed after a linking verb (to be) and it characterizes (or gives further information) about the subject (The fresh air).

Can anyone give me a complete summary of the Anne Frank book. Or just the most important, must know parts to look for? Thank you
sergey [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

The book began with a brief history of the childhood of Miep Gies.  She was born in Vienna, Austria in 1909, where she lived with her parents until the age of eleven years. She was then sent to Amsterdam by a program in the aid of undernourished and sick children and was to be adopted by a Dutch family.  She became used to the Dutch way of life as she grew older and soon she began to consider herself Dutch, not Viennese.

Her association with the Frank family began when she was given a job with the Pectacon Company, owned and operated by Mr. Otto Frank.  His company made and sold pectin, which was used for making jam. Miep’s first part of the job was to make jam with different formulas of pectin.  After becoming an expert jam maker, she was placed at a desk in the office to do office work. She became very close to the Frank family and was invited to their home regularly for meals. She also began a relationship with a man named Jan, whom she later married.

Throughout her book, Miep incorporated much information on Hitler’s Nazi movement in both the Netherlands and the rest of Europe.  She described the slow persecution of the Jews and the various restrictions placed upon them.  In July of 1942, Miep and her husband helped the Frank family move into a hiding place named ‘the secret annex’, located in secret rooms of the Pectacon Company building.  

It had become too dangerous for the Frank family to live as Jews in Amsterdam.  An order came for the Pectacon Company to be liquidated as a Jewish business, so Mr. Frank turned it over in the names of his trusted, Christian business associates: Mr. Kraler and Mr. Koophuis.  Although legally Mr. Frank had no ties with the business, it was still secretly directed by him with the means of clandestine meetings between the three men.

Miep described her responsibilities in shopping for the family and providing them with the necessities of life.  She and her husband came up with plans to get extra ration cards in order to feed the Franks’, the Van Daans’, Dr. Dussel, and themselves. All of the things she did for the families put a risk on her own life; even providing them with her companionship was illegal. However, Miep and her husband became one of the only links the families in hiding had to the outside world.

 

On the morning of August 4, 1944, the efforts of Miep and the families failed when their hiding place was raided by Nazi officials.  The families were arrested and sent to prison camps. The only thing left for Miep to do was retrieve some of their belongings. During her quick surveyance of the scene of the raid, she found the diary of Mr. Frank’s youngest daughter, Anne.  She took it back to her desk and saved it until the war was over.

In early 1945, the war ended and the remaining Jewish prisoners were released. The only survivor of the families Miep had helped to hide was Otto Frank. She had kept his business running and he returned to live with her and her husband.  After receiving a letter confirming the death of Anne and her sister Margot, Miep gave Anne’s diary to Mr. Frank. The diary was published and became popular all over the world. It was Anne’s legacy to everyone who had suffered under Nazi rule.

This story is the author’s main evidence in her argument that under Nazi rule, “a slow strangulation was taking place, we began to realize: first isolation, and now impoverization” (Gies,  p. 71,  1987) of the Jewish race.  Her argument is very convincing to the reader because her evidence is a firsthand account of what actually happened.  She was an eye witness to what happened to honest Jewish families such as the Frank family and the Van Daan family.

The author’s use of language and her descriptions of events illustrates that she strongly was against what the Nazis were doing to people.  It indicates an intended audience of most likely those who have already read The Diary of Anne Frank and are looking for further investigation on the topic.

Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.
ehidna [41]

The correct answer is D.

Through this passage, Fitzgerald conveys two pieces of important information:

One is the geographic context in which the story will take place. Nick's house and Gatsby's mansion on the West Egg.

And the other is the image of Gatsby that the mansion produces on the reader. The house is enormous and ostentatious, an imitation of French architecture, made of ivy and marble, with great gardens and a pool. With the description of the mansion, Fitzgerald manages to provide important information about Gatsby: he is clearly new money and he seeks to impress his neighbours and friends with it.
