Answer:

These lines contribute to the meaning of the passage As the speaker reflects on meaningful memories, the violent weather subsides, creating an overall tone of calm and relief.

Explanation:

The speaker makes a parallel comparison of his feelings and the weather, like a symbol of the emotions of the earth being equivalent to his. Then as he comes to think about memories and even when many memories are sad they take him to a more relaxed place, as the weather reflects the same it has become more pacific and it will stop being chaotic and will go away.

Based on the definition of the prefix, what does the underlined word mean? once a year twice a year twice a month every other ye
ddd [48]

Answer:

Twice a year

Explanation:

Your question is incomplete, but I assume that the sentence you were given is:

<em>The women’s club held fundraisers on a </em><em><u>semiannual</u></em><em> basis.</em>

The underlined word is <em>semiannual.</em> The prefix in this word is <em>semi-</em><em>, </em>which means <em>half</em>. For example, a semicircle is half a circle.

<em>Semiannual</em> means <em>twice a year.</em> Once half a year passed, the women's club held a fundraiser, meaning that they organized fundraisers twice a year.

What is syntax? a. word choice and imagery found in a text
timurjin [86]

Answer:  Syntax is a set of rules in a language. It dictates how words from different parts of speech are put together in order to convey a complete thought. Syntax and diction are closely related. Diction refers to the choice of words in a particular situation, while syntax determines how the chosen words are used to form a sentence. More often than not, adopting a complex diction means a complex syntactic structure of sentences, and vice versa. In combination, syntax and diction help writers develop tone, mood, and atmosphere in a text, along with evoking readers’ interest.  To convey meaning is one of the main functions of syntax. In literature, writers utilize syntax and diction to achieve certain artistic effects, like mood, and tone. Like diction, syntax aims to affect the readers as well as express the writer’s attitude.
