The phrase "to arrive" uses a verb with the word "arrive" rather than a noun. A prepositional phrase can use the preposition "to," but it would then be followed by a noun such as "to the car" rather than a verb. An appositive phrase uses a noun to rename another noun, as in the sentence "My teacher, Ms. Smith, is nice." In this example, "Ms. Smith" is an appositive phrase renaming "my teacher." An absolute phrase is another type of modifier that modifies a whole independent clause. A gerund phrase consists of an -ing verb plus modifiers and complements that acts as a noun, which also does not apply in this case. An infinitive verb phrase uses the word "to" followed by a verb, as with "to swim." Thus, in this example, "to arrive" is an infinitive verb phrase.

In three to five sentences, explain why reasons and logic are effective elements for persuasion.
IceJOKER [234]
Logic and the use of facts are an effect element for persuasion. Appealing to the audience/reader’s logos is going to get them to listen to reason. Facts and logic cannot be manipulated by emotion, so it makes for a much stronger argument. That is what people will listen to the most.

Do you think that being an American comes with guaranteed or "automatic" success? Why or why not?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

While being American does gauratee to an extent certain priviledges, you can't be assured success in a world with laziness and poverty. One does not know who they are going to be birthed from. It could be a wealthy person, or it could be the exact opposite. Now, one who starts off  in a poor family can still end sucsessfull, it's all in the amount of effort you put into life. One who grew up wealthy could end up in the streets. Maybe it's not even that they end up poor but perhaps lonely and tired or maybe they become lazy and simply unwilling to do things. You see, success isn't about where you are from, it's about your attitude towards life, your goals. Whereas one may think something like money or "being American" may garatee your success, success isn't always about your career. You can't be successful with a fallen marriage and broken relationsip with your children. Success comes from inside.
