Answer: The consistent rhythm softens the speaker's unkind words about the subject.

Explanation:

<em>Sonnet 130</em> <em>" My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun"</em> was written by William Shakespeare. In this poem, Shakespeare mocks other artists for their exaggeration while describing their lover's beauty. He describes his loved one in a more realistic way - he compares her to a number of things, but notes that she has nothing in common with them.

In all of his sonnets, Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter. This is a form which consists of five feet (the first syllable is unstressed while the second is stressed). The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. The very consistency of the rhythm makes Shakespeare's strange comparisons less harsh.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

a) Coastal regions, where climate is moderated by warmer ocean waves, have abundant flora and fauna.

Explanation:

An adjective clause is a clause that functions as an adjective, describing the noun in the sentence. It contains a subject and a verb and stays next to the noun it modifies.

In the given pair of sentences, the second sentence can be turned into an adjective clause as it is talking about the subject "coastal regions" of the first sentence.

Thus, the rewritten sentence <em>"Coastal regions, where climate is moderated by warmer ocean waves, have abundant flora and fauna"</em> is the correct sentence using an adjective clause.
