How are Sandburg's "Grass" and Stevens's "The Anecdote of the Jar" similar?

Kisachek [45]

Both poems compare man-made things to natural things. So that both of them deals with nature. They describe how the wildness and slovenliness could take over such vast area. Whatever you do in the nature, even if you want to change something, the things you do will return to the nature and stay in there, again. The objects which the authors write about in the poems show that the nature will dominate them with its power.

Polonius insists that Hamlet is in love with Ophelia. What does Polonius hope to gain?

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Polonious wants to prove that he is loyal and honorable. He wants to be the one that figures out whay Hamlet went crazy. Therefore, he wants to win the approval of the King and Queen and earn their respect.

Explanation

Polonious wants to show that he is loyal to the Crown because he told her daughter to dismiss Hamlet's love proposal.

Besides, he wants to be the one that answers the big question most characters have "Why did Hamlet go crazy?" Polonious believes that it was because of Ophelia's rejection.

Polonious tells Gertrude and Claudius that he found out about Hamlet being in love with Ophelia, so he told her to dismiss him and any messages he could try to send to her. This was so, because Hamlet was a prince and Ophelia just the daughter of a noble man (“Lord Hamlet is a prince out of thy star. This must not be.”Act 2 Scene 2 Line 132= Hamlet is out of your league)

Polonious by telling her not to accept Hamlet (which was a very advantageous situation for the family) wants to prove how loyal he is to the Crown. He shows that he is apparently loyal because he told her daughter to dismiss Hamlet's love proposal.

Bear in mind that Polonious is the one character that provides comic relief during this tragedy, so most of the things he does are rather ridiculous, and he is always concerned about appearences and he overprotects his daughter Ophelia and his son Laertes. In fact, the real reason why he tells Ophelia to reject Hamlet is because he wants to protect her and he doesn't approve of their relationship.

In Act I Scene III Line 127 Polonious warns Ophelia, but in its context, we see that he is a concerned father, protecting her because he believes that Hamlet's intentions are not "holy".

"Do not believe his vows, for they are brokers

Not of that dye which their investments show,

But mere implorators of unholy suits," ( = don't believe his promises, he shows something that is not, he is only trying to make you fall for him and to make you do "unholy actions".)

Which is an example of a memory aid?

Len [333]

Answer:

An example of a memory aid is C. A "cellar" is often dark. Both words contain -ar.

This is because memory aids are something that help you to remember a fact or another piece of information. It is important that they be unique, so that they will help you remember information you would otherwise forget. The fact that cellar and dark share two letters allows you to see a common connection between them, hopefully triggering your memory to let you know that cellars are dark.

Option D isn't correct because it is just a definition. It is a good idea to check the dictionary for spellings, but that most likely will not help you to remember them, so Option A isn't correct, either. Option B is also incorrect because it is grouping similar words together, but not providing you with any new information. Therefore, your answer is Option C.

Hope this helps!

With a new park, stadium, and entertainment complex along the Delaware River, Trenton, New Jersey, is but one of a large number

iVinArrow [24]

Question

With a new park, stadium, and entertainment complex along the Delaware River, Trenton, New Jersey, is but one of a large number of communities that is looking to use its waterfront as a way for it to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.

Which of the following options is the most correct version of the underlined phrase above?

(A) is looking to use its waterfront as a way for it to improve the quality of urban life and attract

(B) is looking at using its waterfront to improve the quality of urban life and attract

(C) are looking to use their waterfronts to improve the quality of urban life and attract

(D) are looking to use its waterfront as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attracting

(E) are looking at using their waterfronts as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attract

Answer:

The most correct answer is C is the most correct answer.

Explanation:

In normal terms, a redundant relative pronoun such as ‘which’ or an essential modifier such as ‘that’ will incline to modify the noun that is just before and take an appropriate verb depending upon the number of the noun, mostly plural, except when the subject ‘one’ is preceded by the definite article ‘the’.

In the context, look at the subtle difference between the two types

1. Trenton, New Jersey, is ‘but one of’ a large number of communities ‘that is looking to’ use its waterfront as a way for it to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.

2. Trenton, New Jersey, is but ‘the one of’ a large number of communities ‘that is looking’ to use its waterfront as a way for it to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.

Since the definite article is not present in the first case, the relative pronoun ‘that’ will modify the plural ‘communities’ and take on a plural verb ‘are looking’.

In the second case, since the definite article ‘the’ is present the focus clearly shifts to the article ‘the’, which restricts the number to singular. Hence, in the second case, the modifier ‘that’ in spite of its relevance will go along taking a singular verb ‘is looking’.

In this topic, the plural verb ‘are looking’ is grammatically fitting.

Given the above explanation the choice falls among C, D and E; in the context.

Its best to go with C because it correctly uses idiom ‘looking to use’ and while remaining parallel.

E in addition to being unparalleled uses the wrong idiom ‘looking at’ while D has serious singular verb mis-match of using ‘are looking to use its’.

Cheers!
