Answer:

The poetic technique being used by Whitman is:

B. end-stopped lines

Explanation:

As we know, Walt Whitman is considered the father of free verse, which means he is NOT concerned with regular meter, rhythm, or rhymes in his poems. We could easily eliminate options A, C, and D with that knowledge. Still, even if people do not know that fact about Whitman, they could analyze the lines provided:

I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then, In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass. (lines 1281 – 1282)

As the end of each syntactic unit -- which can be a phrase, a clause, or a sentence --, the writer uses punctuation to signal a pause. That is known as end-stopped lines. As we can see in the lines above, Whitman chose to use commas between each unit. That is how he shows the audience there is a pause between them.

Which of the following describes an effect of total war? A Soldiers fight using new technologies. B Families can only use specif
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

B Families can only use specific amounts of certain foods.

Explanation:

In the case of total wars, many people in the home front would have to try to regulate what kinds of food they are able to eat, as those may have high-concentrate in nutrients and/calories, as well as have a longer shelf-life, allowing it to be a useful food for soldiers to carry and eat while in the field. This means that to feed the troops, the supply of these food to the general public would be limited. This is especially the case of total war, where large amounts of troops need to be fed, which led to a larger demand than normal.

What is the average acceleration of a jet ski that goes from rest to 10 m/s west in 4 s? Take the direction west to be positive,
Kay [80]
From the question we come to know several important information's and based on them we can reach the desired result.
Initial speed = 0 m/s
Final speed = 10 m/s
Initial time = 0 sec
Final time = 4 sec
Then
Average acceleration = (Final speed - Initial speed)/(Final time - Initial time)
                                   = (10 - 0)/(4 - 0)
                                   = 10/4
                                   = 2.5 m/s^2
So the average acceleration is 2.5 m/s^2. I hope this has made it clear to you about the procedure of solving such problems.
