1. syntax - having to do with word order.

Syntax is the way the words are arranged in a sentence. We use the word syntax when we talk about varying sentence patterns or speaking about the way a particular person or culture arranges sentences. Yoda's syntax is an example of syntax that is particular to one person. He often speaks in Complement - Verb - Subject order.

2. phonetics - dealing with pronunciation

Phonetics is all about the way a word sounds. Remember phonics for little kids. It's how to teach children the way specific letters or groups of letters sound. When a word is spelled phonetically, it is spelled how it sounds. A word that is not necessarily spelled how it sounds is chef...phonetically someone might write shef instead.

3. nonverbal - communication without words

Nonverbal communication is often just as important as verbal communication. A child telling you she cleaned her room, but all the while won't make eye contact and shifts from foot to foot, makes one doubt the child is telling the truth. While her words say she did carry out the task, her behavior, nonverbal communication, tells us otherwise.

4. elements of grammar - syntax and morphology

See syntax for an explanation of it. Morphology is the study of word forms. This all leads to the grammatical structure of words and sentences.

5. unique - the only one of its kind.

Each person is unique. There is no person who has the exact same DNA, personality, history, experience as any other person in the world. This makes every person unique.

6. idiom - cannot be understood in the ordinary sense

An idiom is an expression that does not mean what it literally says. For example, "It's raining cats and dogs" does not literally mean cats and dogs are falling from the sky. It is an idiom that means the rain is falling very hard.

7. archaeology - study of ancient cities, artifacts, and customs

Archaeology comes from the root word "archae" meaning ancient. The suffix "ology" means the study of. Simply put archaeology is the study of ancient things.

8. tongues - another word for languages

Tongues was often used to talk about people who could speak different languages. A person was said to speak in different tongues or a different tongue. This was because the sounds created by a person's tongue were different than the listener.

Which topic is too broad for a 10-minute speech?A. how to punt a football B. the history of California C. visiting the Louvre in
Nina [5.8K]

B. the history of California

For a speech, 10 minutes is really just enough time to pretty much cover the basics.  When we consider that the average time it takes to read/speak is approximately 250 words a minute, and with the understanding that one typed page is 250 words, this means that 10 minutes would cover only four pages of text.  With that in mind, the topic of “The History of California,” it can be safely assumed that only a superficial covering of the history would be covered because there is so much that could be covered, especially keeping in mind that California’s history could include everything from prehistoric times (or earlier) to the present day.  When deciding on a topic, one should always keep the required length in mind and decide whether the topic is suitable for the page/time length because for broad topics many pages and lots of time would be required in order to adequately cover everything of which it is comprised.   For low page/time requirements, a narrow topic is what would be needed.

Analyze the meaning of this excerpt from a poem by William Stafford:
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The meaning of this is that burning books is not as terrible as not writing them at all. Stafford is trying to say that if you have an idea for a book and you do not write the book, or start it, but never finish, then that is worse then burning a book that's already written.

Explanation:

I not 100% sure but I hope it helps :)
