Love is like the wild rose-briar, Friendship is like the holly-tree— The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms But which will

bloom most constantly? The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring, Its summer blossoms scent the air; yet wait till winter comes again And who will call the wild-briar fair? What clues do these supporting details provide about the poem's main idea?

Answer:

These supporting details reveal the speaker of the poem thinks friendship is more constant than love.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are studying here was taken from Emily Bronte's "Love and Friendship". In this poem, the speaker compares love to a wild-briar, while friendship is likened to a holly-tree. Love, like the rose-briar, is intense. Its scent fills the air, and it blooms beautifully, but as soon as winter comes, it perishes. Winter is a metaphor for difficulties. In the speaker's opinion, love does not survive hardship. On the other hand, like a holly-tree, friendship lasts. It may not be as attractive as a rose-briar, but it is constant, and does not die during winter. Friendship is, therefore, more constant than love, and that is the main idea of the poem.

Which sentence is NOT a complex sentence? A) Jake complimented Linda after she made her speech. B) As I waited for my appointmen
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Complex sentences have one or more dependent (sometimes called subordinate) clauses. A dependent clause is a part of a sentence that would not make sense or would be incomplete by itself. B is an example of a complex sentence, because it has both an independent (I read an old magazine) and a dependent clause (As I waited for my appointment). C is not a complex sentence because it is made up of one independent clause. Hope this helps a little! :)
