1 answer:

7 0

First, you need to know the difference between an open and a closed syllable. An open syllable ends with a vowel (for example, the word supreme), and a closed syllable ends with a consonant (for example, the word desk). Having that in mind, yes, the word swim is indeed a closed syllable.

jeka94

Answer:

1) EVINCED - D: to show.

2) FORBORE - C: to refrain from.

3) EKING - A: to make a supply last by economy .

4) DISENCUMBER - B: to free from.

Explanation:

Harriet Ann Jacobs's autobiographical narrative "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" delves into the discriminatory system of slavery and how it affects the blacks, especially the women slaves. This autobiography deals with the issue of slavery and the need for everyone to try to refrain from practicing it. The book also contains her journey and efforts to try to get her freedom from being a slave.

The bolded words in each of the quotes can be closely matched accordingly-

1. Evinced means to show. Considering the sentence or quote, we can infer that the author has so much intelligence that led to her masters to keep her.

2. Forebore here means refused or concealed or refrain from mentioning. This quote means that when Uncle Philip came with the good news, he told mother everything except some of the details about Benjamin, "her darling" so as not to hurt her.

3. The word "eking" signifies an effort or act to make a supply last economically. This is evident when Harriet narrates how her mistress Mrs. Flint used to observe carefully how the provisions of the household were used. She mentions that she (Mrs. Flint) makes sure the slaves do not use up their provisions just to make themselves full. This shows a mean-spirited nature in most mistresses at those times.

4. Disencumber most closely signifies one's desire to be free from or released from something or someone. According to the quote, Harriet expressed her despise for her master who told her that "[she] was made for his use, made to obey his command in everything". So, this is her expression of wanting her master gets swallowed up by the earth.

Answer: nature can bring happiness

Explanation: For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which strategy is NOT a prewriting strategy?

podryga [215]

Answer:

"D. Creating clear transitions" is NOT a prewriting strategy.

Explanation:

Creating clear transitions is not a prewriting strategy because it should be done once a text is written down, and not before. This technique aims to create fluency and coherency between the ideas, sentences and paragraphs in a text. Clear transitions are created with the help of appropriate Transitional Expressions, such as: however, also, moreover, to summarize.

By contrast, "C. Reading good models of writing" is an activity that could be done before starting to write, aiming to gain a perspective on how to design and structure ideas in a written form. Similarly, answers "A. Mapping/webbing/ clustering" and "B. Finding similarities and differences", are writing strategies (often named brainstorming techniques) that help an author identify the ideas she/he wishes to express before starting the actual writing process. Another useful prewriting strategy it listing ideas; this helps to narrow down a subject when it is still too broad.

write a letter to the editor of national newspaper expressing four reason why wearing school uniform should not be abolished

Sholpan [36]

Answer: Here are a few reasons one could use to argue in favor of not abolishing school uniforms...

Schools who use uniforms are typically private schools and therefore it is an institution that has the right to make its own policies and guidelines. Parents who pay money to send their child to a school where uniforms are mandatory is a choice and a right that should not be taken away. Abolishing the right to choose is unAmerican and hypocritical of those who argue it hinders a student's self expression and identity. In America school choice needs to be upheld and supported. This would Infringe upon an institution's right to have their student body wear uniforms as well an individuals right to have the option of attending a school requiring uniforms or the opposite.

School uniforms serve a purpose just uniforms serve multiple purposes for sports teams, for the military, police officers, nursing staff, etc. Why do colleges and Universities have apparel with the school's colors, mascot, or logo? They provide them because many student's like representing their school and feeling unified with other students and alumni.

Other reasons include the following:

1.) A sense of unity and being part of a team.

2.) Improves equality for students regardless of different financial and economic backgrounds.

3.) Can be used to easily identify who is a student versus a non-student.

4.) Competition is an important and healthy motivator for a student body, but not when it comes to choosing your wardrobe for the school week. It is a wasteful use of time and energy which could be better spent focused on learning and developing ones own gifts and talents.

5.) It may be a financial benefit for students whose parents cannot afford purchasing a wide variety of clothing.

6.) Some people enjoy the style and the feeling of wearing a school uniform and do not wish to see it abolished. If a student does not wish to wear a uniform they have the option to choose a school with a different dress code.
