Read the following poem "America" by Claude McKay before you choose your answer. "Although she feeds me bread of bitterness, And

sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth, Stealing my breath of life, I will confess I love this cultured hell that tests my youth. Her vigor flows like tides into my blood, Giving me strength erect against her hate, Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood. Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state, I stand within her walls with not a shred Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer. Darkly I gaze into the days ahead, And see her might and granite wonders there, Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand, Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand." Which of the following best describes the poem as a whole? (5 points) A humorous satire of American culture A poetic expression describing the endurance of African-Americans A poignant description of the strengths and faults of America A philosophical rant blasting ignorance in America

The attorney general has warned people that secondhand smoke is dangerous to their well-being.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

<u>secondhand or second-hand</u>

Explanation:

A compound adjective is an adjective made up of two or more words, in which either of those words can be a noun, an adverb, a verb in their past participle form or a verb in their present participle form. Most of the time, these words are joined by a hyphen. The word <em>secondhand</em> is an adjective because it describes the noun "smoke", and it is compound because it is made up f two nouns <em>second </em>and<em> hand</em>. This adjective can also be separated with a hyphen: <em>second-hand.</em>

The other word that may look like a compound adjective, but it is not one, is well-being, because it is a word made up of an adverb + the verb be in their present participle form, HOWEVER, it does not act as an adjective but as a noun.
