Answer: The absolute phrase in the sentence provided is <u>"his chubby legs, pumping"</u>.

Explanation: An absolute phrase is<u> a phrase that is separated from the rest of the sentence by means of a comma</u>. Moreover, absolute phrases only add non-essential information; therefore, if they are eliminated, the meaning of the sentence does not change. Absolute phrases are usually made up of a noun and its modifiers as finite verbs cannot be included. In the sentence provided, <u>"his chubby legs, pumping" is an absolute phrase because it has been set apart from the rest of the sentence by a comma</u> and <u>it is made up of a noun</u> ("legs") <u>and its modifiers</u>. Furthermore, <u>"his chubby legs, pumping" does not include a finite verb</u>.

From the definition of absolute phrases we know that it is a modifier that attaches to a sentence without a conjunctution. So, we can say "his chubby legs, pumping" is the correct answer.

How does Atticus feel about the mob that came to the jail? (To Kill a Mockingbird)
stepan [7]

Answer: Atticus feels that the mob that can to the jail is still human in spite of all the threats that they posed.

Explanation: In Chapter 16, Atticus explains to his children that "every mob in every little Southern town is made up of people you know---doesn't say much for them, does it?" (Lee 97). Atticus believes that a mob is only a group of individuals that share similar views.

Remembering how the mob tried to lynch Tom Robinson, Mr. Finch also refers to them as a "gang of wild animals" who are still human, as Scout brought them to their senses when she came out of hiding and talked about Mr. Cunningham's son.
