The correct option is B.
An appositive phrase refers to a noun or a pronoun that identifies or rename another noun or pronoun; it gives more information about that noun or pronoun. An appositive together with its modifier is called an appositive phrase. An appositive phrase is said to be non- essential when it adds information to a sentence whose meaning is already clear. Non-essential appositives are usually set off by a coma.

Which explains how Langston Hughes's "I, Too, Sing America" alludes to Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing"?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Hughes's poem uses Whitman's idea that all Americans are important members of this country's society.

Explanation:

Whitman's poem<em> "I Hear America Singing"</em>, and Hughes' "<em> I, Too, Sing America</em>" have an idea in common - that all people, including black people, are important members of the American society. In his poem, Whitman writes about people of various professions who, despite all the differences between them, feel happy and free in America. Hughes, on the other hand, tries to prove this point through a metaphor: the speaker of the poem (who is a black man) describes himself as a "darker brother" that has to hide in the kitchen when the guests arrive. This man has a right to feel free in his country, but is treated unfairly. The point that both poets try to convey is that freedom should be promised to all people, regardless of their race, profession, or any other factor.

Read this paragraph from the article, "Caring for Vets Should Be National Duty."
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Celebratory.

Explanation:

A tone of a paragraph represents the writer's/author's feeling and emotions towards a particular passage. In this passage, the author is presenting a celebratory tone.

This is because in the passage the author is relaying a welcoming news which was the news of how Congress had finally agreed to fund the VA Mission Act. This is a celebratory victory because this bill has been finally passed after much budgetary disputes in the Congress. Thus, the author is happy and excited for the passage of this long debated bill.
