This particular excerpt makes part of the bigger poem "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls", written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow between 1807 and 1822. In essence, this particular poem makes reference to the process of life, death and rebirth, through the image of the ocean, its movements, its activities and its effects on life. The poem is short, only three stanzas long, and most of it shows the sadness of life as it comes and then ebbs away, marking with it the time limitation on life.

In this particular excerpt of the poem, Longfellow is making reference to how natural events, like the flow of the sea, affect human beings, their lives, and links the two things, human life, and nature, by giving an almost human characteristic to the ebb and flow of the sea. This is why, the correct answer here is B: Human beings are challenged by events in the natural world.

Excitement between the two groups have risen after the election. is this correct

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The subject-verb agreement is wrong. The correct sentence would be:

- Excitement between the two groups has risen after the election.

Explanation:

If we ask the verb a simple question, we can find the subject: "What has risen after the election? Excitement between the two groups." Even though the answer is long, the simple subject itself is comprised of just one singular word: "excitement". This is the most important word, the one to which the verb refers. We can even remove the words that come after it, and the effect or meaning will be the same: "Excitement has risen after the election."

The problem with "Excitement between the two groups have risen after the election" is that "have" is agreeing with "groups". However, as seen above, "groups" is not the most important word in the subject. Therefore, the verb should not agree with it.

What grammatical structure is the italicized portion of the sentence? The weather remaining turbulent, we will postpone our cano

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Nominative absolute.

Explanation:

Nominative absolute in grammar is a sentence construction where a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun is in the nominative and is used to start or end a sentence. It is normally used as a loose modifier of the whole sentence, with the noun, noun phrase, or pronoun followed by the modifiers.

In the given sentence, the nominative absolute is "the weather remaining turbulent", which also acts as a modifier for the independent clause "we will postpone our canoe trip."

Thus, the correct answer is nominative absolute.
