The correct answer is paradox.


Paradox is a figure of speech that combines two completely opposite things into one. In the excerpt above, we can see that the speaker is willing to wait for his/her loved one his/her entire life, however, only if they don't take too long to get to him/her. This is a paradox because they weren't willing to wait for them long in the first place, as it turns out.

This is an example of a paradox. 

He/she would wait for his/her's person of interest their entire life, of course, if it's not that long. It is a clever paradox.

Adjectives are words that are used to describe or modify nouns or pronouns. For example, red, quick, happy, and obnoxious are adjectives because they can describe things—a red hat, the quick rabbit, a happy duck, an obnoxious person.

3a) Small, big

4a) Cute

5a) Especially

1b) Friendly, shy

2b) Nice

4b) Frisky

5b) Happy

ella [17]

I believe the correct answer is: the claim of a human tyrant of enduring glory is transient.

 

The theme of "Ozymandias", a poem written by Percy B. Shelly, can be said to be that the claim of a human tyrant of enduring glory is transient. This theme may be even broader, meaning that everything humans accomplish is transient such as Ozymandias’ glory in this poem.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Night crept on slowly. It seemed midnight would never come, and that I would fall asleep long before it was time. I had to stay awake. In my mind, I went over the things I packed in my backpack: food, water, a couple changes of clothes, rope, a few knives, money, a card game, and other such things. A blanket was strapped to the back.

I was running away.

Which of the following sentence contains a compound predicate?
Sauron [17]
The correct answer would be "D. She washed the shells and dried themm in the sun.". First, we should know what a <em>compound predicate</em> is. A compound predicate is when a subject has 2 or more verbs. In your sentence, you have two verbs, which are <em>washed</em> and <em>dried.</em>
