Answer: A. Just for a handful of silver he left us/ Just for a riband to stick in his coat

Explanation:

In poetry, we have different kinds of "feet" - the iamb is probably the most famous type. A dactyl is a kind of foot in which we have a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed ones.

The lines in option A are often used as an example of dactylic meter. They are the very first two lines in the poem "The Lost Leader", by Robert Browning. If we highlight the stressed syllables, we may observe the pattern:

Just for a handful of silver he left us

Just for a riband to stick in his coat

___________ is the attitude an author expresses through words.
omeli [17]

Answer: tone

Tone is the attitude an author expresses through words.

Some people would think that the answer would be mood, but mood would be a whole different example. Mood is the attitude through signs of face and actions, tone is by the voice or the words from mouth.

Help me plzz i need help with this help me!

Answer:

Cause/effect is the text structure type

Explanation:

The author is telling why people have started running as a sport a lot more. To know this, you can just say because this happened, this happened. Because people wanted to save money, they stopped going to gyms and started doing a cheap sport. The author develops the ideas by using the text structure by giving many reasons why people should/would start running as a sport. The 3rd sentence is a good example of the author telling why people would run. Hope this helps :)

Identify the appositive or appositive phrase in the sentence by putting it in brackets
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

1.  (a home run)

2. (the plants by the hill side)

Explanation:

An appositive or appositive phrase serves the function of replacing the noun in a sentence. It provides more information about the noun and can be found at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence. Without the appositive, the meaning of the sentence will still be retained.

In the first sentence, the appositive, provides more information about the game winning hit. It was<em> a home run</em>. In the second sentence, <em>the plants by the hill side </em>offers further description of where the rose bush was situated.
