The themes of the book include morality and womanhood. Cassy commits infanticide not because she wanted to do it but because she had no choice. She was a slave and that meant she did not have the capacity to raise the baby. Despite this, she still made her decision to kill the baby and that shows her 'moral weakness.'
The properly formatted example is the last one:
Romans were very particular in their dining habits. They reclined on "special couches" (Phin 429).
For an in-text citation in Modern Language Association (MLA) style, you give a parenthetical reference to your source by an author name and page number. The full information about that author and source will be included in your bibliography.
So in the examples shown, the third example is incorrect because it only lists a page number, not the author name.
The second example shown is incorrect because it splits apart the reference to the author (Phin) from the reference to the page number (429).
The first example is close to correct, but is punctuated incorrectly. The in-text citation in MLA style is considered part of the sentence, so the period goes at the very end of the whole sentence, which means after the reference (Phin 429).
Thus the fourth example shown is the only one that is fully correct in its format.
First, you need to know what a gerund is. It refers to a word form that looks like a verb + ing. So here, the gerund phrase is <em>walking in the deep snow. </em>Also, you need to know that gerund is practically a noun in a sentence, meaning that it can function as either a subject or an object of a sentence. Here, the correct answer is the subject.
If you are unsure, you can replace the phrase with a pronoun He, for example: He made me feel... And you will know it is a subject, because the object would be Him.
Debate are formal discussions on particular subjects, such as those as on conflict. Conflict often leads to arguments and disagreements, etc.
So in other words, debate, like discussing on how to do things, can solve conflict and male things easier.
