A) "To him, <u>your celebration is a sham</u>; <u>your boasted liberty, an unholy license</u>; <u>your national greatness, swelling vanity</u>." This sentence is an instance of parallellism. The same pattern is repeated- look at the underlined words-. Subject + to be + complement. However, this pattern is used in "your celebration is a sham". In the other two structures the verb to be has been omitted and a comma has been used,instead. " your boasted liberty, (is) an unholy license; your national greatness, (is) swelling vanity." The verb to be can be taken out since it can be easily retrieved from the context. If it is ellided, it should be replaced by a comma.

Read this excerpt from Franklin's Autobiography and answer the question that follows. Then I walked up the street, gazing about
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Comical

Explanation:

The tone of this excerpt can best be described as comical. In this passage, we learn about the way Benjamin Franklin behaved when he was in Philadelphia. As he comes from Boston, he is not aware of many of the social rules that regulate this other colony. This is obvious when he goes to buy bread. As he arrives to the bakery, he asks for a type of bread but realizes that they do not sell it. This happens again with a different type of bread. Not knowing what else to ask for, he asks for three-penny worth of bread, which turns out to be an enormous quantity. This means that he has to walk down the street while carrying three great puffy rolls, which leads to a comical and ridiculous experience.

Why is mercury usually hard to see without a telescope?
Morgarella [4.7K]
To see Mercury with your naked eye is only possible when it is at its greatest "elongation" or basically when the angle of separation between the Sun or Mercury is at it's greatest value, however it is not always a promised success of viewing Mercury. It also depends on the phase of the plant to determine how bright it is!
