Placing an adverb clause after a linking verb is a good way to start a definition. true or false?

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

In grammar, a linking verb is a type of verb that does not express an action but connects the subject to the complement to describe it or explaining, this includes verbs such as "be", "seem" or look. On the other hand, an adverbial clause refers to a set of words that modifies or describes how something is, which means it works as an adverb that describes the mode, frequency, place, timer or degree in which action takes places. This type of clause is useful for describing how something occurs, especially an action. But not to describe how something is or looks, which is the purpose of a definition. Also, adverbial phrases are not usually placed after linking verbs because these verbs do not express action and therefore an adverb cannot be used.

Considering this, it can be concluded placing an adverb clause after a linking verb is not a good way to start a definition, not only because adverbs are not commonly placed after this type of verbs, but because adverbs clauses show how something occurs but not the way something is, which is the information you need to place first on a definition.

A summary and central idea paragraph on "The immigration contribution" by John F. Kennedy.
nadya68 [22]
John F. Kennedy was an avid supporter of immigration. From the late 1800’s to the 1920’s the majority of the population was dedicated to immigrants coming to America in search of a better life. Many of these immigrants worked hard labor and dedicated many new ideas and inventions to the industry. Breakthrough technologies were introduced by immigrant backgrounds. Kennedy refused to let there be a second class in the caste system, he believed from the start that all men were equal no matter their origins. Immigrations greatly impacted the interpretation and attitudes of society, the work industry, and American History. Much of these reasons are the very ones that Kennedy recognized, and refused to let a democracy be the judge of taking away civil rights from those of a different country.

The narrator describes Bokko-Chan saying ""the trouble was that she looked a little prissy but who can deny that a prissy air is
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

By declaring that Bokko-Chan's prissiness is an indispensable prerequisite for a beauty, the writer was declaring that her charm, manners and composure, which complimented her beautiful looks, were traits absolutely necessary to attract customers to patronise his bar.

A prissy person is a charming, prim and proper person who is very well-mannered. This quality makes prissy people to be easily liked and attracted to which is one of the qualities of inner beauty.

Its my informed opinion that the writer Hoshi was wasn't being facetious - treating serious issues with flippant levity.

Instead the piece portrays him as a thoughtful, meticulous and shrewd businessman who knew what it took to grow his business and did it (by building a charming female robot bar tender) for his business to grow and succeed

How does Hamilton convey his ideas about the power of the judicial branch of the government in Paragraph 1? He asserts that the
ladessa [460]
In my opinion, the correct answer is D. He compares the powers of the executive and legislative branches to those of the judiciary, highlighting the strengths of the former and the relative weaknesses of the latter. In Hamilton's view, the judiciary branch is the least powerful of the three. He says that it has no real power or influence over "the sword" or "the purse", which are controlled by the executive and legislative branches. It is devoid of force and will, and it can merely judge, but even that it cannot do without help from the executive branch.
