<span>Answer:The word father in the story has two meanings. First, it implies the love and protection of his biological father. Kevin’s father is a cheerful man who is always willing to help his son and provides a warm and loving home. Kevin’s teacher, on the other hand, is a cold man who ridicules Kevin. The author uses these two “fathers” to develop the theme of fatherly love in the story. Father Waldo represents discipline, restrictions, and strict social hierarchy. At school Kevin is encouraged to be ashamed of his father because of his lack of education and job as a barman. Ironically it’s his father and family who encourage him to value his education: “We never got the chance,” his mother would say to him. “It wouldn’t have done me much good but your father could have bettered himself. He’d be teaching or something now instead of serving behind a bar. He could stand up with the best of them.” Thus the author is setting up a choice for Kevin to make. He can choose to reject his roots and embrace the social order of the school or cling to his place as a member of the family. Kevin makes his choice in the end, when he lies to his father to protect him from the shame of not having the correct answers.-Plato </span>

The following sentence contains a(n) ________clause. We moved because our house was too small
Dafna1 [17]

The following sentence contains a(n)<u> adverb</u> clause. We moved because our house was too small.

Adverbs are words that modify (explain) a verb (singing out loud), an adjective (very loud), another adverb (ending too fast), or the entire sentence (luckily bringing an umbrella). Adverbs often end with -ly, but some (such as Schnell) look exactly like adjective adverbs.

Adverbs can also change adjectives and other adverbs. Often, the purpose of adverbs is to add some strength to the adjective.

You can use an adverb to write another adverb. You can use more than one if you prefer. Some adverbs can change the whole sentence-of course, these are called sentence adverbs. Fortunately, the commonly used ones are interesting and well included.

From “Kubla Kahn” The shadow of the dome of pleasure Floated midway on the waves; Where was heard the mingled measure From the f
maxonik [38]

I believe the correct answer is: A person can experience the calm of the pleasure dome and the chaos of the wilderness outside.

In the “Kubla Khan”, written by English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1797, the “miracle of rare device” symbolizes that person can experience the calm of the pleasure dome and the chaos of the wilderness outside. Coleridge uses contrast between the dome and the wilderness – natural versus man-made, below and above the ground, frozen and warm, to create a harmony and show the experience of the pleasure.
