The correct answer is becoming an astronomy researcher
For starters, it is the only appositive phrase. It is also non-essential because the sentence conveys full meaning even if it was removed.
This question is missing the answer options. I have found them online. They are the following:
A. "She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap..."
B. "The stray cat stalked down the street."
C. "Her walk was proud..."
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Answer:
The detail that contains an allusion is:
D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."
Explanation:
As is explained in the instructions, an allusion is a reference to a famous character or person, one whose story - true or fictional - is well known.
<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the allusion takes place when the author mentions Cleopatra, a famous queen from Ancient Egypt. By comparing the cat to Cleopatra, the narrator is attributing characteristics of the queen to the animal - dignity, pride, beauty, elegance. </u>The allusion makes is possible for the author to not have to say those words. Since everyone knows who Cleopatra was and what traits and behaviors she was famous for, by simply alluding to her, the author conveys a deeper description.
Answer:
The melting ice will lead to polar bears deciding to no longer eat seals.
Explanation:
This sentence is an opinion unsupported by facts. The author failed to list evidence proving that polar bears will stop eating seals due to the melting of ice. Therefore, this sentence can be classified as a false statement.
