Much of Beowulf is devoted to articulating and illustrating the Germanic heroic code, which values strength, courage, and loyalty in warriors; hospitality, generosity, and political skill in kings; ceremoniousness in women; and good reputation in all people.
A Possible Explanation: I believe the metaphor at the end, "being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun", is referring back to the personification/simile seen here: "midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses".
In tandem, the word lemmings has two meanings, as read in the dictionary: "a small, short-tailed, thickset rodent related to the voles, found in the Arctic tundra."
and
"a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction."
I believe "autumn's fire" and "the sun" are both symbolic of war, an idea of it, and/or passion for it. I read that this poem is criticizing the human aspect that is war and how short-lived and ignorant it all ends up coming out to be.
I hope this helps ♡
Answer:
The sentence that combines the two sentences above with an appositive phrase is sentence C.
Explanation:
An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. In the sentence above, "an innovation in factory production" is the appositive phrase that renames the noun "assembly line". This is a nonessential appositive as the information it provides is not necessary to complete the meaning of the sentence. This means that the appositive phrase can be removed and the meaning of the sentence would be left unchanged (see 1).
1) Henry Ford adapted the assembly line to produce cars
