Which best describes how the bolded pronoun functions in the following sentence?

1 answer:

7 0

In the previous example, it is functioning as an antecedent. We know this because the <span>reflexive pronouns end in -self or selves. The relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, that. The demonstrative pronouns are this,that,these,those,none,either. But </span><span>antecedent is word for which a pronoun stands. And that is the case of this sentence. Hope this works for you</span>

Which of the following research questions is too broad?

monitta

Answer:

The broad topic would be Communication Through the Ages. Early Kingdoms narrows it down to West Africa. A short research project could give you the info you need on USGrant. The Mid Atlantic States are such a small portion that when you study colonization, it can be narrowed down to each colony. Communiciation Through the Ages - is just that - a long time and a very broad subject. From when to when?

Explanation:

It would take a while to research all the different types of communication - and is it narrowed down to technology or can it go back even to the stone age and how people drew pictures to communicate???

Read the following paragraph from John Muir's "The Calypso Borealis" and pay close attention to the words in bold. In one paragr

vesna_86 [32]

The mood portrayed in John Muir's "The Calypso Borealis" can be described as first very gloomy and disparate and then to joyous and relief. At first, the narrator is very discouraged because he cannot find the Calypso flower that he wants. But when he finds it, he seems very joyous and as the passage says, he "cries for joy". This means that he had been waiting and searching for a long time. Muir also uses dramatic terms like choosing to place the Calypso as a lonely flower in the middle of a bog.

Hope this helps :)
