Grammatically Unconventional

We know, we know – the last time you wrote a "grammatically unconventional" English paper you got a C-. Stephen Crane certainly takes liberty with the conventions of the language, going Yoda on us with sentences like these:

"Doubts and he were struggling" (11.15).

"A sputtering of musketry was always to be heard" (16.1).

"It is true that his trousers felt to him that they were no fit for his legs at all" (3.27).

"A house standing placidly in distant fields had to him an ominous look" (3.28).

Weird, right? This takes some getting used to, but it certainly marks the novel with a stylistic individuality.

Read this excerpt from Mayor Seth Low's speech at the Opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. Gentlemen of the Trustees—With profound sa
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The correct answer Low's style is formal; is he uses complex words that are appropriate for the ceremony, and his purpose is to inform his audience.

Explanation:

Seth Low was an American political figure. He was elected as Major of Brooklyn (1881-1885), and later served in the same position in New York City (1902-1903.) The Brooklyn Bridge was completed during his tenure as the major of that city, in 1883.

In the speech, Low's word selection is formal because of the ceremony and its magnitude; on the other hand, he wanted to inform his audience the purpose of the finished project. If he had used a more complex language or scientific facts, this goal might not have been reached. He did not choose informal words because of the context, so the last options are also incorrect.

Are the underlined words in the sentence an independent clause, a subordinate clause, or neither? Where there is water, there ar
blondinia [14]
I don't see any underlined words in the sentence. However, I'll just post my answer based on my understanding.

Where there is water ⇒ subordinate clause
There are mosquitoes ⇒ independent clause

Independent clause is a complete sentence. It has a subject, a verb, and expresses a complete thought.

Subordinate clause is a dependent clause that starts with a conjunction. It also has a subject and a verb but it is dependent on the main clause.
