The correct answer is:  

Iamb.  

An iamb is a two-syllable metrical pattern used in poetry in which the first syllable is unstressed and the second syllable is stressed. “Attain,” and “define” show the iambic pattern of unstressed and stressed syllables. In English poetry, metrical patterns are called feet, so an iamb is a type of foot.

In the sentence below, identify the adverb clause, subordinating conjunction, and the word(s) modified. The red roosters squawke
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Your answer would be that the adverb clause is "because all of the hens had been painted blue", the subordinating conjunction is <em>because</em>, and the word modified is the verb <em>squaaked.</em>

Explanation:

Adverb clauses, also called adverbial clauses, are dependent clauses that function as adverbs. Since they are dependent clauses, they must have a subordinating conjunction to connect them to the rest of the sentence. In this case, the subordinating conjunction is <em>because. </em>It introduces information regarding the reason why the red roosters squaked.

What is Shakespeares message about colonialism and imperialism in the tempest
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the time when The Tempest was written and first performed, both Shakespeare and his audiences would have been very interested in the efforts of English and other European settlers to colonize distant lands around the globe. The Tempest explores the complex and problematic relationship between the European colonizer and the native colonized peoples through the relationship between Prospero and Caliban. Prospero views Caliban as a lesser being than himself. As such, Prospero believes that Caliban should be grateful to him for educating Caliban and lifting him out of "savagery." It simply does not occur to Prospero that he has stolen rulership of the island from Caliban, because Prospero can't imagine Caliban as being fit to rule anything. In contrast, Caliban soon realizes that Prospero views him as a second-class citizen fit only to serve and that by giving up his rulership of the island in return for his education, he has allowed himself to be robbed. As a result, Caliban turns bitter and violent, which only reinforces Prospero's view of him as a "savage." Shakespeare uses Prospero and Caliban's relationship to show how the misunderstandings between the colonizer and the colonized lead to hatred and conflict, with each side thinking that the other is at fault.

In addition to the relationship between the colonizer and colonized, The Tempest also explores the fears and opportunities that colonization creates. Exposure to new and different peoples leads to racism and intolerance, as seen when Sebastian criticizes Alonso for allowing his daughter to marry an African. Exploration and colonization led directly to slavery and the conquering of native peoples. For instance, Stephano and Trinculo both consider capturing Caliban to sell as a curiosity back at home, while Stephano eventually begins to see himself as a potential king of the island. At the same time, the expanded territories established by colonization created new places in which to experiment with alternative societies. Shakespeare conveys this idea in Gonzalo's musings about the perfect civilization he would establish if he could acquire a territory of his own.
