I'm pretty sure it's a dependent clause. Hope this helps!

Hey there!

"as if it had no weight" is an example of a dependent clause.

1. it can not be an independent clause becase it does not make sense by itself. Remember that independent clauses are the one that are able to transmit meaning without any help.

2. There is conjugation, then it's not a phrase. A phrase has neither subject nor verb, it can't form a 'predicate'; in this case, we have a suject "it" and a conjugated verb "had."

4. Parallel structure is the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. Example: She likes hiking, attending the rodeo, and taking afternoon naps. As you can see, all the verbs come in the ING form. It does not apply in this example because we do not have that structure.

Finally, we have a dependent clause, which is the correct answer. It is a dependent clause since it is subordinate; it depends on the main clause (the independent one) to be semantically correct, to have a real meaning. The use of "as" marks an exemplification and we are missing the first clause.

Hope this helps.

Which of the following literary forms are correct to ascribe to The R-a-p-e of the Lock? Select all that apply.

Ber [7]

I believe that the correct answer is 3) mock-epic.

The “R-a-p-e of the Lock”, written by Alexander Pope, is one of the most famous English-language examples of the mock-epic. The mock-epic (or mock-heroic) is satire or parody of mock common classical, serious works and epic had long been considered one of the most serious of literary forms. Pope’s mock-epic poem “R-a-p-e of the Lock” doesn’t to mock the form itself, but to mock his society in its very failure to rise to epic standards.

Locate the Infinitive and determibe how it's used jane wanted to forget bout the matter

hjlf

In the sentence "jane wanted to forget bout the matter" the infinitive verb would be "to forget" since it begins with to (which is usually a good hint) and it is being used as an adverb.

In "Not Waving but Drowning," each of the following speakers contributes to the poem except?

poizon [28]

Answer:

The speaker who does not contribute to the poem is:

D.the mother of the dead man

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the poem:

Nobody heard him, the dead man,

But still he lay moaning:

I was much further out than you thought

And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking

And now he’s dead

It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,

They said.

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always

(Still the dead one lay moaning)

I was much too far out all my life

And not waving but drowning.

There are three speakers contributing to the poem: the narrator, the drowned man himself, and the friends of the dead (drowned) man. The narrator is the one letting us know that the dead man is laying, moaning:

Nobody heard him, the dead man,

But still he lay moaning

The drowned man is the one explaining that he was asking for help, not waving. His gesture was most likely misunderstood, which is why no one rescued him:

I was much further out than you thought

And not waving but drowning.

[...]

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always

[...]

I was much too far out all my life

And not waving but drowning.

His friends are only referred to as "they". As the man lies, dead, they talk about what a good person he was - which is a typical reaction of people in general when someone dies:

Poor chap, he always loved larking

And now he’s dead

It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,

They said.

At no point the mother of the dead man is mentioned, nor does she contribute to the poem.
