Which statement best tells how the underlined words in the paragraph are related?

1 answer:

4 0

The best answer is A because distinctive and prominent both similarly mean "important."

B won't work because although the paragraph does go on to tell the readers what the trunk does, the two words themselves doesn't tell the readers anything about the usage of the trunk.

C won't work because the elephants not only use their trunks when they're young, but also as they get older.

D won't work because the words doesn't tell readers what the trunk looks like. The words aren't really descriptive words.

Read the excerpt from "You are Old, Father William," by Lewis Carroll. Identify the pair of lines that expresses a humorous tone

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

I believe the pair of lines that expresses a humorous tone is:

"But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,

Why I do it again and again."

Explanation:

The pair of lines above is dictating the humorous tone of the poem "You are Old, Father William". It ends the interaction between father William and his son in a comical, surprising way. The father is obviously older than his son, which leads us to expect him to be wiser. Still, he claims to have no brain. Perhaps he means he has lost his mind, which would explain why he stands on his head at such an age. It's as if he is aging backwards - his body growing older, but his mind getting younger.

Make a SHORT poem on bamboo

shusha [124]

I stand proud like a bamboo tree,

Gusts of winds make my leaves sway,

Storms also come my way,

But I still stand like a bamboo tree.

People throw at me insults,

But they are just merely cults,

I am not easily worn down, my friend,

Like a bamboo tree I survived, till the end.

Shakespeare makes allusions to the great rulers Alexander and Caesar to contrast the deaths of Alexander and Caesar. show how ki

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Shakespeare makes allusions to the great rulers Alexander and Caesar to emphasize that everyone eventually dies.
Even those great and famous leaders such as Caesar and Alexander died in the end - there is no escaping death, no matter how important you are. Even though it seemed that these two people were so loved and strong they could evade death, this was not the case - which is true for every human being.
