Is the phantom tollbooth a book for children? Why or why not?

English

AVprozaik [17]3 years ago

I believe it is a book for children, although adults may enjoy it as well. The book is ultimately about finding the love for learning. The protagonist is a boy who is bored with everything, but once he is transported to a magical kingdom full of knowledge, idioms, and fun, he realizes that learning new things and acquiring knowledge can be quite interesting and helpful.

Which of these excerpts from the story includes an adverbial phrase set off with a comma?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

While the little boy and the pet dog raced  ahead, the husband and wife found  themselves comparing the possible  effectiveness of each style against its  appearance...  

Explanation:

An adverbial phrase is a phrase or group of words that modifies the verb, adverb, and adjectives in a sentence. And if an adverbial phrase begins any sentence, then it should always be followed by a comma.

Among the given sentences, the second sentence contains an adverbial phrase that is set off with a comma. The adverbial phrase is <em>"while the little boy and the pet dog raced ahead" </em>which is then followed by a comma, separating it from the independent clause of the remaining sentence.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option/ sentence.

What event inspired the voting rights campaign in Alabama
Montano1993 [528]
N 25 March 1965, Martin Luther King led thousands of nonviolent demonstrators to the steps of the capitol in Montgomery, Alabama, after a 5-day, 54-mile march from Selma, Alabama, where local African Americans, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) had been campaigning for voting rights. King told the assembled crowd: ‘‘There never was a moment in American history more honorable and more inspiring than the pilgrimage of clergymen and laymen of every race and faith pouring into Selma to face danger at the side of its embattled Negroes’’ (King, ‘‘Address at the Conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery March,’’ 121).

On 2 January 1965 King and SCLC joined the SNCC, the Dallas County Voters League, and other local African American activists in a voting rights campaign in Selma where, in spite of repeated registration attempts by local blacks, only two percent were on the voting rolls. SCLC had chosen to focus its efforts in Selma because they anticipated that the notorious brutality of local law enforcement under Sheriff Jim Clark would attract national attention and pressure President <span>Lyndon B. Johnson </span>and Congress to enact new national voting rights legislation.

The campaign in Selma and nearby Marion, Alabama, progressed with mass arrests but little violence for the first month. That changed in February, however, when police attacks against nonviolent demonstrators increased. On the night of 18 February, Alabama state troopers joined local police breaking up an evening march in Marion. In the ensuing melee, a state trooper shot Jimmie Lee Jackson, a 26-year-old church deacon from Marion, as he attempted to protect his mother from the trooper’s nightstick. Jackson died eight days later in a Selma hospital.

In response to Jackson’s death, activists in Selma and Marion set out on 7 March, to march from Selma to the state capitol in Montgomery. While King was in Atlanta, his SCLC colleague Hosea Williams, and SNCC leader John Lewis led the march. The marchers made their way through Selma across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where they faced a blockade of state troopers and local lawmen commanded by Clark and Major John Cloud who ordered the marchers to disperse. When they did not, Cloud ordered his men to advance. Cheered on by white onlookers, the troopers attacked the crowd with clubs and tear gas. Mounted police chased retreating marchers and continued to beat them.
