Read the passage describing Achilles: "Thus while he roused the fire in every breast, Close and more close the listening cohorts

press'd; Ranks wedged in ranks; of arms a steely ring Still grows, and spreads, and thickens round the king.

The extended simile in the passage is: As when a circling wall the builder forms, Of strength defensive against wind and storms, Compacted stones the thickening work compose, and round him wide the rising structure grows.


A simile is a figure of speech that compares one thing from another thing of a different kind. It adds meaning to the text because it emphasizes the:


a. Strength of the wall - which is likened to being a barrier that can be used as protection from wind and storms.


b. Size of the structure - which was built with hours of hard work and construction materials that can withstand such great forces of war.

Read this excerpt from "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Which two lines are examples of a dependent clause?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

A) First, a clause is an incomplete sentence or a group of words that can't stand alone or one that does not have meaning standing by itself.

B) Furthermore, it must have a verb and a subject.

A verb, if you recall is an action word while a subject is "<em>the person or thing being referred to</em>".

Looking at the clauses in option B we can see that they both meet the above conditions.  

Let's see clause one - "<em>And may there be no </em><u><em>moaning</em></u><em> of t</em><u><em>he bar</em></u><em>, "</em>

It is clear that the verb here is "moaning" while the subject is "the Bar".

It's clear to see that these group of words meet the conditions given in A and B above because left by themselves, they make no meaning.

Let's take a look at the second clause:

"<em>When I put out to sea</em>,"

"I" here is the subject. It is a pronoun. A pronoun is simply a word that can be used instead of the noun. That is a noun can easily but inserted in the place of "I". Hence, we have "I" as the subject.

"<em>Put Out</em>"  here is a verb which means to relocate.

So "When I put out to sea"  also meets the conditions in A and B above.

Cheers!

arsen [322]

Answer:

Apartheid is a political party of racial segregation. in the afrikaans, it means, apartheid separate whites from non whites, it's also segregated the blacks from the coloreds. all things such as jobs, schools, railway stations, beaches, workbenches, public toilets and even parliament. apartheid also prevented blacks from living in white areas. this brought about the hatred "pass laws". these laws are required any non white to carry a pass on him or her. unless it was stamped on there pass, they were not allowed to stay in the white area for more than 72 hours. Despite the fact that whites only make up just over 14% of the population, they own 86.3% of the land however, it must be said that the Afrikaaners are entitled to the orange free state and transvaal as they were first to use it after the great trek of 1836.
