You didn't italize or mark the phrase, but I see one good candidate:

"The circus animal trainer" is in a way another name given to Mervin, a kind of "renaming" him: this is called an appositive phrase, so if this was the phrase appositive phrase is the answer! (also, I don't see the other phrases here).

Being the italicized phrase "the circus animal trainer," the correct option is appositive.

This phrase refers to and modify the noun that preceeds it. In this case it renames the noun MERVIN.

An appositive is defined as a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. The appositive can be a short or long combination of words. It is alway placed in the sentence between commas in order to separate it from the rest of the sentece.

This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

What symbol is described in this excerpt, and what does it represent?

A. the owls, which symbolize knowledge and wisdom.

B. the nest, which symbolizes home and family.

C. the rats, which symbolize cruelty and sadness.

D. the casket, which symbolizes the loss of Doodle.

Answer:

The symbol and its representation is:

D. the casket, which symbolizes the loss of Doodle.

Explanation:

James Hurst was an American novelist born in North Carolina in 1922. He published the short story "The Scarlet Ibis" in 1960.

<u>Doodle is just a little boy but he has an incredibly sad story. He was born with serious health problems, so no one ever thought he would live long. In the passage we are analyzing here, the narrator, who is Doodle's older brother, is showing Doodle his casket. A casket is an obvious representation of death, and quite a strong predictor of what is to come later in the story. Doodle does not accept the casket as his, but it seems that he hasn't got much of a choice. Everyone already expects him to die.</u>

Myth #8: Once food has been cooked, all the bacteria have been killed, so I don’t need to worry once it’s “done.”

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Cooked food is at a greater risk of bacterial contamination.

Explanation:

The central idea of the "fact" response is that cooked food is at a greater risk of bacterial contamination, as, after cooking the food, the possibility of bacterial growth increases because of the temperature difference. Therefore, the cooked food should be kept at the right temperature, in order to preserve the safety of the food and prevent bacterias to thrive.

Katyanochek1 [597]

The best thesis statement would be:

A. Schools should encourage volunteering because it reduces stress, promotes personal growth, and has a positive effect on society.

This is the best because it provides the topic "Schools should encourage volunteering" and then it goes on to provide reasons for this that will most likely be described in the rest of the paper.

Hope this helps!
