Answer:

1. Phrase: her daughter

2. Dangling modifier: Attacked by the school bully, the backpack fell from Abner’s shoulder.

3. Clause: Susie likes ice cream

Explanation:

1. A phrase is a group of words that stand together as a single unit, that does not contain either a subject or a verb, and therefore, it has to be part of a sentence so that it could make sense. "her daughter" has a possessive pronoun and a noun and it needs to be included in a sentence to make sense, so it is a phrase.

2. A dangling modifier is a modifier that does not clearly state the object it modifies, thus it makes the sentence or the idea confusing. In the sentence, "Attacked by the school bully" is the modifier (it describes the state or situation of a person). The following clause should have the object it modifies, more specifically, it should clearly state WHO was attacked by the school bully, but it does not, that object is not clear: the backpack fell from Abner's shoulder, but was Abner the one that got attacked, or the school bully? Thus, the sentence has a dangling modifier.

3. A clause is a group of related words that have a subject and a verb. And they may or may not be able to stand on its own, depending on whether they express a complete thought or not. "Susie likes ice cream" has all those characteristics: it has a subject (Susie) and a verb (like) and it does express a complete thought, thus it is an independent clause.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Most speakers and audience members would agree that an organized speech is both easier to present as well as more persuasive. Public speaking teachers especially believe in the power of organizing your speech, which is why they encourage (and often require) that you create an outline for your speech. Outlines, or textual arrangements of all the various elements of a speech, are a very common way of organizing a speech before it is delivered.

Read the following text from a fantasy novel. This excerpt is about the Order of the Knights of the Round Table.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Explanation:
kicks down the boundaries of epic fantasy using fresh new takes on world building, dismantling of standard fantasy tropes, and a take on gender fluidity that is both provocative and thoughtful. The Mirror Empire is an ambitious work, and the scope of it shows that ambition. We follow a cast of characters as they try to find out the truth of their heritage, rise to a station of command that ill fits them, or balance their political ambitions with the sudden revelation of a genocidal plan. The Mirror Empire is all up in your face with its themes, making you reconsider the trappings of gender identification, reckon hard with the horrors of war and ethnic cleasing, or think sideways about what magic looks like. The Mirror Empire is a fiery shot in the arm to the stalwart notions of what epic fantasy should be.

Paragraph on Emotional intelligence

valkas [14]

Emotional intelligence is a new concept developed by Dr John Mayer and Dr Peter Salovey (1990) from American University. However, it was popularised by American Psychologist Daniel Goleman (1995). Emotional intelligence is defined as “one’s ability to know, feel and judge emotions in cooperation with a person’s thinking process for behaving in a proper way, with ultimate realisation of happiness in him and in others”. Like general intelligence, emotional intelligence is also developed in a person by birth. Normal development of emotion leads to healthy life, but too much variation in emotional level damages the individual’s life.

The level of emotion in a person is called Emotional Quotient (EQ). This can be obtained by using emotional intelligence tests, same way as we assess the IQ of a person.
