My reaction to this quote is that Abraham Lincoln is referring to the ideal that once people have power they tend to abuse it for their advantage, and personal gain. For Example, gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of the county sizing and grouping in states by the Legislative branch to guarantee their reelection into federal or state offices. A typically Democratic city perhaps may be grouped or redrawn to conjoin with a vastly Republican populated area, creating a larger group of supporters of one party, and a polarized county.

Answer:

2) Courage.

Explanation:

A connotation can be defined as the quality, feeling or an idea which a word brings to the mind of a person, as well as its literal, dictionary or primary meaning.

Courage refers to the quality that is being possessed by a confident or brave individual which makes him or her not to be intimidated, frightened easily while being cautious in his or her actions.

Hence, the word "courage" provides an appropriate connotation of the word heart as it is used in this sentence: The guard dog defended his owner with the heart of a warrior.

This ultimately implies that, the dog defended his owner courageously like a warrior.

Tell the participle phrase in each sentence. One man, having made his point, walked away happy.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The participle phrase in the sentence is "having made his point."

Explanation:

Participle phrases always begin with a participle, either present or past. A present participle is formed by adding -ing to the base form of a verb. Besides the participle, the phrase will have modifiers and/or objects. Participle phrases function as adjectives, modifying a noun in the sentence in which they are included.

Int he sentence, "One man, having made his point, walked away happy," the participle phrase is "having made his point." It begins with the present participle "having", and it modifies the noun "man".

The question answer of the pobble who has no toes for practice​
kirill [66]
<h2><em>The lesson we learn from the poem the pobble who has no toes by Edward Lear is that we should take care of the important things in our lives </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>​ </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>Explanation: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>In the beginning, the poet  introduces us to  a young Pobble who is very proud of  his  toes His aunt Jobiska warns him that, pobbles often lose their toes by the time they mature. She tells him that his toes have a chance of salvation if he keeps his nose warm. The Pobble  henceforth wears a red flannel scarf on his huge nose. He decided to go for a swim one day, his scarf is stolen by a dolphin before he swims to the opposite shore. When he gets out of the water, he discovers his toes have vanished. As the Pobble mourns his lost toes, he is flabbergasted and contemplates on which creature of the deep may have taken them: A crawfish? A shrimp? A mermaid? </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>It's a story about ; properly taking care of one's things, learning to let go of things that are really not all that important, being obsessed with material things,  accepting one's body image, about growing up and becoming an adult,  the inevitable things that may happen, fear of loss.</em></h2><h2><em /></h2><h2><em /></h2><h2><em>                              HOPE IT HELPS (◕‿◕✿)  </em></h2><h2><em>                                         SMILE!!</em></h2>
