Write out the implied main idea of the following passage in your own words. 1Verbs are the most important of all tools. 2They pu

sh the sentence forward and give it momentum. 3Active verbs push hard; passive verbs tug fitfully. 4Most verbs also carry somewhere in their imagery or in their sound a suggestion of what they mean: flail, poke, dazzle, squash, beguile, pamper, swagger, wheedle, vex. 5I would bet that no other language has such a vast supply of verbs so bright with color. 6Don’n n t choose one that is dull or merely serviceable. 7Make active verbs activate your sentences. 8Also, try to avoid verbs that end in a preposition; that preposition weakens the force of the verbs. 9For example, don’t “set up” a business that you can “ establish.” 10Don’n n t “come upon” an object that you can “discover,” or “take hold of”f f one that you can “grab.” The implied main idea is:

This paragraph is all about the impact verbs have in sentences, and how you should use them in your own writing. The implied main idea is: Use strong verbs in your writing since they are the most important!

How have Black Hawk’s cultural experiences shaped his view about the nature of the danger Native Americans face in their conflic
navik [9.2K]
Black Hawk is talking of his experience of being beaten by warfare of the white man against his people and him being imprisoned. He suggests that is the only way to try to right the wrongs the white man has visited against him ie by resisting the white man's expansion into his territories. He considers the white man to be deceitful and only friendly in order to find a way to dupe the Indian. In fact Black Hawk would probably be very happy to see how the First Nations peoples have multiplied in recent years and obtained higher education and learned how to battle the white society in the courts and with road blocks and demonstrations etc and obtain some important land claims like the Tsilqhotin one in British Columbia, Canada.

What word in Excerpt B has the same root word as
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The word that has the same root word as "intercept" is: interception.

The word part which is used to change the part of speech of the word intercept to the new part of speech is: -ion (suffix)

The part of speech this new form of the word is: noun

Explanation:

We can easily see that the words "intercept" in excerpt A and "interception" in excerpt B are very similar. What is the difference between them? Notice that "interception" has some extra letters: -ion. This is a suffix, that is, a group of letters added to a word with the purpose of changing it. While "intercept" is a verb, "interception" is a noun, precisely because of the addition of the suffix. "Interception" means the action of intercepting, that is, of preventing someone or something that is moving toward a destination.
