English
1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,

Explanation:

In poetry, the term enjambment refers to the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line. In other words, the sentence doesn't end at the end of the verse but rather continues in the next one.

In this example, we see that in line number 2 "And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk" the sentence continues in line number 3 (as the complete sentence would be "and climb black branches up a snow-white trunk towards heaven")

Therefore, we can see that the enjambment is present in line number 3 "Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more"

We can see that lines 4 to 6 (the other answer choices) are complete sentences by themselves so therefore, the correct answer is line number 3.

Read this informal outline of the passage section titled “Jane Goodall.”
Kisachek [45]

The correct answer is C) Chimps remember numbers and enjoy puzzles

Explanation:

The purpose of an outline is to summarize the content of a text by stating the main idea and supporting details or information that explain this. In the case of the outline presented, the main idea is how the research by Jane Goodall changed the understanding of society about chips. Also, this outline presents two supporting details that show two findings that change the complexity of chips behavior; one is how chips form complex groups and how they have complex emotions.

According to this, the third supporting detail should be a characteristic of chips observed by Goodall that also changed the perception about them. Thus, the best option is "Chimps remember numbers and enjoy puzzles" because this is mentioned in the text "Later studies show that chips have number memory (they can remember numbers one through nine), and like humans enjoy doing puzzles for the fun of it" and also was one key finding that change the perception about chips.
