Answer:

Allusion

Explanation:

The term allusion refers to a figure of speech in which an object or circumstance from a different context is referenced to in an indirect way. Usually, this reference is only implied and it is up to the reader to make the connection. In this case, the author is making an allusion to the world of Broadway and to certain actresses. The author is also making an allusion to the character of Joan of Arc.

Answer:

The poem will live on for all to read.

Explanation:

This question refers to Sonnet XVIII by William Shakespeare. In this sonnet, the author compares the subject of the poem to a summer's day. However, he argues that the speaker is even better, and lists the reasons why this is the case. The speaker also tells us that, while everything in nature fades, the subject will not, as the poem will live on forever and she will live through these lines.

Based on this passage of The Odyssey, one can conclude that the ancient Greeks greatly valued _______A. DemocracyB. BraveryC. Kn
pav-90 [236]
B - Bravery

Although you didn't provide the passage, there are various reasons as to why bravery is the answer.

A is incorrect as the Odyssey never focused on democracy as shown through kings of many lands since Odysseus himself was the king of Ithaca with his son being the rightful heir of the throne.

C, knowledge, is incorrect as characters in the Odyssey never valued knowledge. The Odyssey was filled with battles and overcoming hardships, not gaining knowledge and wisdom, thus ruling out C as the possible answer.

D, relaxation, is an answer you can immediately rule out. Throughout the Odyssey, the stories and the movies, you can see that all characters are constantly bustling and working for whatever they hope to accomplish. Although they may value relaxation, they seem to value work more so.

Hope this helps!

Which statement would you identify as being incorrect?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer, C.

 The word <em>impudent</em>  comes from the <em>Latin</em>  word <em>impudentem</em> (without shame; shameless), and its meaning in the English language is: <em>rude, not</em> <em>showing respect, specially toward someone who is older or in a more</em> <em>important position</em>. Its form is In ("<em>not, opposit of " </em>) + pudens ("ashamed; modest"). The root for the word impudent is not <em>impu</em>.

Whats the difference between active and passive?<br> examples needed
katrin [286]
<span>When using active voice, the subject performs the action noted by the main verb. (As one site put it, the subject is a do-er or a be-er.)

When using the passive voice, the subject is acted upon by another agent or an unknown something. (The subjects of passive sentences are not do-ers or be-ers.)

These are much better explained with examples:

Active: Brutus stabbed Caesar.
Passive: Caesar was stabbed by Brutus.

Active: The committee approved the new policy.
Passive: <span>The policy was approved of by the committee.</span></span>
