I would say the last sentence shows mockery the best: "Many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform." However, there might be others as well, such as: "The low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog."

This writing is a work of historical fiction. It is set during Greek times, and it is centered on mytho policies.

There are several excerpts in this piece that show it has a mockery tone, some, more than others.

  • " Many  singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amidst excretion and abuse from the platform? "
  • " The low note was grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog.

Which sentence contains an error in comma usage? Brandon enthusiastically told Sara, that the play was incredible. Sara bought t
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Brandon enthusiastically told Sara, that the play was incredible.

Explanation:

This is incorrect because a comma is used to separate clauses or two main ideas. In this case, that is not true. The sentence should not contain a comma since the sentence is one idea.

hope this helps :)

Members of Superclass Agnatha lack what feature
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Agnatha (Ancient Greek is a superclass of jawless fish in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, consisting of both present (cyclostomes) and extinct (conodonts and ostracoderms) species. The group is sister to all vertebrates with jaws, known as gnathostomes.

Recent molecular data, both from as well as embryological data[8] strongly supports the hypothesis that living agnathans, the cyclostomes, are monophyletic.

The oldest fossil agnathans appeared in the Cambrian, and two groups still survive today: the lampreys and the hagfish, comprising about 120 species in total. Hagfish are considered members of the subphylum Vertebrata, because they secondarily lost vertebrae; before this event was inferred from molecular and developmental data, the group Craniata was created by Linnaeus (and is still sometimes used as a strictly morphological descriptor) to reference hagfish plus vertebrates. In addition to the absence of jaws, modern agnathans are characterised by absence of paired fins; the presence of a notochord both in larvae and adults; and seven or more paired gill pouches. Lampreys have a light sensitive pineal eye (homologous to the pineal gland in mammals). All living and most extinct Agnatha do not have an identifiable stomach or any appendages. Fertilization and development are both external. There is no parental care in the Agnatha class. The Agnatha are ectothermic or cold blooded, with a cartilaginous skeleton, and the heart contains 2 chambers.

While a few scientists still regard the living agnathans as only superficially similar, and argue that many of these similarities are probably shared basal characteristics of ancient vertebrates, recent classification clearly place hagfish (the Myxini or Hyperotreti) with the lampreys (Hyperoartia) as being more closely related to each other than either is to the jawed fishes.

Write a letter to your friend talling him or her about what you intend to do it your plan after leaving school
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Letter to a friend about future plans after school.

Explanation:

24 Ashgrove Hills

New York

My dear Sammy,

I know we haven't really talked about what we plan to do after we finish school. And I know it's time to get to this point where we talk about it so that we may have an idea of what we both like.

But like you said, we're still so young to even think about what is for the future. But at the same time, we must also plan ahead so that we don't make mistakes like most youngsters. School is the end of our childhood and eventually, we may go to universities and then on to wider options.

But as of now, as far as I am concerned, I think I will continue with my studies and try to follow in my father's footsteps and try to get my doctorate degrees, if possible, and be a lecturer. I have always been fascinated with teaching and the idea of helping others shape their future and help in the process. So, for me, I think I will go to university and then see where that goes. That's the plan for now. Please let me know what your plan is.

Keep in touch and I will keep you updated. Take good care of yourself.

Love,

Sally.
