<span>It means the same thing as "dead as a doornail" completely dead. Dumplings aren't alive so they are "dead". So "dead as a dumpling" means to be completely dead, not alive in the slightest. </span>

To be " dead as a dumpling" means that you are very dead. It's an expression that you use to describe something or someone that you know for sure is dead.

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
victus00 [196]

Punctuations are used in a sentence to organize and structure it properly. Moreover, it is used to create clarity and sense or to stress in a sentence. For example quotation marks " ", full stop (.), commas and so on.

Commas are frequently used punctuation in a sentence, hence they are used to create a short pause in a sentence.

In the above sentences, the sentence which is punctuated correctly is C. After they rested a few days, the aliens revived sufficiently to explore.

When starting with the dependent clause, the sentence is punctuated after the dependent clause. In the above sentence dependent clause is <em>“After they rested a few days”</em>, hence as compared to other sentences it is punctuated correctly.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Helga [31]

Answer:

b. And when the dictators, if the dictators, are ready to make war upon us, they will not wait for an act of war on our part. They did not wait for Norway or Belgium or the Netherlands to commit an act of war.

Explanation:

This quote is the best application of logos. Logos is a rhetorical technique of using "logic" and reasonable appeals to make a point, as opposed to <em>pathos </em>(emotion) or <em>ethos </em>(credibility).

This excerpt above lists concrete examples--Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands--that have suffered from these democracies. FDR is using a logical argument here: he's saying, look at all these other examples that have suffered, and follow my approach instead.
