English

The correct answer is C. Leo, one of thirteen constellations in the Zodiac, contains ten stars.

Explanation:

In grammar, a nonessential appositive phrase refers to a phrase or set of words that adds extra information usually by explaining or defining one of the elements of the sentence but that is not necessary for a sentence to be complete. In terms of punctuation, these phrases should be set apart by using commas or parentheses before and after the appositive phrase.

In the case of the sentence presented the nonessential appositive phrase is "one of thirteen constellations" because this phrase only explains the term "Leo" but is not necessary for the sentence "Leo contains ten stars" and therefore, the sentence that punctuates correctly this phrase is "Leo, one of thirteen constellations in the Zodiac, contains ten stars" because according to grammar appositive phrases should be enclosed by commas or parentheses and in this case the commas are placed before and after the appositive which is correct.

Answer:

A generalization that can be made is that life is full of challenges and that eventually some of them will not be overcome, it is not possible to avoid, just accept.

Explanation:

The text shown in the question above shows how often wise, powerful and intelligent men like Gandalf and Elrond create very good and effective plans to overcome the challenges that arise during life. However, even good and efficient plans can be frustrated and fail to overcome challenges. This is because life is unpredictable and full of surprises and it is normal for our plans to fail sometimes, because that is how reality works. In short, the text states that we will not always be able to escape defeats, because they exist and we cannot avoid them.

Read the poems "I dwell in Possibility" and "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night." Compare and contrast the poems. Write two p
nadezda [96]
That is very good. But maybe you can add that the first poem is in a softer but still strong tone whereas the second one is more firm and aggressive, commanding people to be strong. But I think that the poem doesn't tell you to fight death, but to be strong and not give up even against the biggest of things, like the sun going to dusk. But is was very well written.
Hope this helps.

Lines 419–431: How does the event described in these lines qualify as a plot complication?
STatiana [176]
Taking into consideration that a plot complication is when a further detail is revealed regarding the conflict. Said detail can be directly related to the conflict or simply be an inconvenience representing further difficulty to solving the central conflict. In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, act 2, lines 419–431, Mary is defending herself from John Proctor's threat to whip her by her argument on how she saved Elizabeth's life (Proctor's wife) by being present in Salem on that day. The fact that Elizabeth has been accused is a complication because it shows a new detail about the central conflict of the play. If the main conflict is revealing the fake nature of the witch trials, the complication revealed here is that Abigail is the one accusing Elizabeth (considered an honorable woman)<span> to take her place as Proctor's wife (lines 490-499). </span>
