Which five words are nonsense words in this excerpt from Carl Sandburg's "How the Animals Lost Their Tails and Got Them Back Tra

veling from Philadelphia to Medicine Rock"?
It was easy enough for the rabbit who has long ears and no tail at all except a white thumb of cotton. But it was hard for the yellow flongboo who at night lights up his house in a hollow tree with his fire yellow torch of a tail. It is hard for the yellow flongboo to lose his tail because it lights up his way when he sneaks at night on the prairie, sneaking up on the flangwayers, the hippers and hangjasts, so good to eat.

All along the road the reddish
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

In 'Spring and All', William Carlos Williams portrays the contrast between spring and winter, but also life and death. Spring is presented as a symbol of hope, the season when life comes back.

In this stanza, Williams describes the dying landscape. The setting is pretty dark and cold. The plants have become barely recognizable - bushes are twiggy, there are dead, brown leaves under leafless trees. Williams wrote the poem at the end of World War II, when the world was still suffering the consequences of the war. The picture described in this stanza could be interpreted as a metaphor for tragic circumstances at the time the poem was written.

Which correctly punctuates an introductory element? Yes, you should take the dog out for a walk every afternoon. Having, finishe
Vitek1552 [10]

Yes, you should take the dog out for a walk every afternoon.

The introductory element of this sentence is "Yes". There must be a comma after the introductory elements for them to be punctuated correctly. The rest of the sentences should be punctuated this way as well. The next sentence should not have a comma after "Having". The introductory element in sentence three is "By daybreak". There should be a comma after "daybreak". The introductory element in sentence four is "In the morning" and "after we eat breakfast". These should be followed by commas.
