The correct answer is B.

Literary nonsense refers to a categorization of literature that balances elements that make sense with some that do not.

In this excerpt, Sandburg combines real places like Massachusetts, Soth Hadley and Northampton with the flongboo, an imaginary animal that has a yellow torch for a tail.

Date : 12 January 2021

It is very unfortunate for us to hear the demise of such a great human like Mr Albert. The earthquake last month made a lot of damage and took our loved ones from us.

Unfortunately Mr. Albert was one of them. He was a helpful person in nature and was very serious about the development of the society. He was a well wisher of our school and helped our institution many times in many ways. My deepest condolence lies with teh family.

One reason for making a new outline of your work while revising is to make sure that all the new and necessary information you need to edit and put in (or maybe delete as well) are included in your work. This is to minimize wasting of the time and leaving out important details in the revision.

Read the sentence.
babunello [35]

Answer:

Assuming the word in bold is childhood, the correct answer is C. direct object.

Explanation:

     It’s relatively easy to spot a direct object in a sentence - you can just ask the question Whom (for people), or What (for non-humans) to find it.

     So here, the sentence is Carol spent her childhood at the beach.

If you ask the question, What did Carol spend at the beach?, you will get the answer - Her childhood. That way, you know it’s a direct object.

why did shakespheres noble characters speak in iambic pentameter while commoners spoke mainly in blank verse or prose
Sergio [31]
1. First, Shakespeare wrote his plays in blank verse featuring iambic pentameter because that was the style of the day. Think of it as a way for an author to show off--and it really is quite impressive if one thinks about it. There are very few authors who can create characters and plots as rich as Shakespeare's and write their lines in a consistent meter. 2. Secondly (I think that this might be what you are asking), when Shakespeare's characters speak in verse (iambic pentameter), they are usually the noble (aristocratic) characters, and their speech represents their high culture and position in society. If you simply look at one of Shakespeare's plays, you can often tell when the commoners are speaking because their lines will go from margin to margin (this is true, too, of nobles who are acting like commoners--whether they're involved in evil schemes, losing their minds, or are drunk!). In contrast, Shakespeare's other characters' lines should sound and look different to you--they should sound "sing-songy" and should look like poetry with uneven lengths. A good example of this is from Othello. When Iago is speaking to his peers or to those in position of authority over them, his speech is in verse, but when he is plotting and talking to Roderigo (especially at the play's beginning), his lines are not in iambic pentameter--this represents the bawdy nature of his speech and, in truth, the baseness of his character.
