Answer:

<u>Dad has a secret fishing spot</u>

Explanation:

A clause, a group of word that have at least a subject and a verb, can be either dependent (when it can not stand on its own because it does not express a complete thought), or independent (when the clause expresses a complete thought on its own, and does not need another clause in order to make sense).  

In the sentence, "Dad has a secret fishing spot" is an independent clause because it has a full meaning on its own: If we see this clause alone, the clause expresses a complete thought. On the other hand, "where he catches the most fish." is a dependent clause because if it were alone, without another clause, it would not make sense.

Dad has a secret fishing spot

The are two different clauses in this sentence. One is the dependent and the other is the independent. The independent clause is the one that can stand alone. It is a complete sentence on its own. The dependent clause is the one that is left an incomplete sentence.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Swift criticizes the poor/lower class since they have children that can not be taken care of, and they have to beg for food or the minimum things to be alive. The problem with these kids is that they become thieves or not useful for the nation. We can see this in the next lines: <em>"It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants: who as they grow up either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbados."</em>

The next group that he criticizes is the Catholics since they are superior in number and want to give the Irish kingdom to James III, king of England. We can see it when the author says:  <em>"it would greatly lessen the number of papists, with whom we are yearly overrun, being the principal breeders of the nation as well as our most dangerous enemies; and who stay at home on purpose with a design to deliver the kingdom to the Pretender, hoping to take their advantage by the absence of so many good protestants, who have chosen rather to leave their country than stay at home and pay tithes against their conscience to an episcopal curate."</em>

Explanation:

In A Modest Proposal, Jonathan Swift suggests what Ireland can do with poor children and the benefits that his proposal will have.

In his proposal, he criticizes the lower class since its children are an inconvenience for the country and the Catholics since they are their main enemies. He mentions both o them in different sections of his proposal.

The second section of an Italian sonnet is called a(n) _____.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

the blank is sestet

Explanation:

Because of the structure of Italian, the rhyme scheme of the Petrarchan sonnet is more easily fulfilled in that language than in English. The original Italian sonnet form divides the poem's fourteen lines into two parts, the first part being an octave and the second being a sestet.

Why would a love poem be suited for sonnet form?
Nastasia [14]
<span>(A) is the most correct answer. With a set rhyme scheme and presentation form, sonnets are best suited for love poetry because it makes presentation easier. The form also allowed for just enough modification that it gave the authors leeway to make slight changes without deviating from the basic standards.</span>
