Answer:

The denotation of a word gives the word's exact meaning, while the connotation of a word gives the word's emotional meaning.

Example:

Colors are a great example of connotative meaning and denotative meaning. For example, blue's denotative meaning is "of a color intermediate between green and violet, as of the sky or sea on a sunny day." But, blue's connotative meaning is sad or melancholy. You can say, "he is feeling blue", or "she looks blue" to express sadness.

Analyze this text, Gatsby shouldered the mattress and started for the pool. Once he stopped and shifted it a little, and the cha
Ganezh [65]

Answer and Explanation:

The text we are analyzing here is part of Chapter 8 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The main character, Gatsby, has gone through a lot in his pursuit of Daisy, the love of his life. When Gatsby left for the war, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, an unfaithful millionaire. Now, Gatsby is trying to get her back. He gets involved with criminal businesses to become a millionaire as well and moves to a mansion right across the bay from Daisy's. Gatsby throws grand parties with the hope that Daisy will one day walk through his doors. They eventually become lovers, but a tragedy is about to end it all for them.

"Gatsby shouldered the mattress and started for the pool. Once he stopped and shifted it a little, and the chauffeur asked him if he needed help, but he shook his head and in a moment disappeared among the yellowing trees."

In the text above, Gatsby is about to be killed by George Wilson. There are a couple of symbols in the text that foreshadow Gatsby's death, such as his brief hesitation and the yellowing trees - green would mean life, but yellow is a reminder that winter is on its way, and that the trees will soon look lifeless. It is also interesting to notice that he is finally about to take a swim in his pool, something he hasn't done all summer. It is ironic that, when Gatsby finally takes some time to enjoy his life, it will suddenly be taken from him.

Select the correct answer. Which of these sentences uses correct parallel structure? A. After school, Sheila either walks home o
lyudmila [28]

The correct answer is D. This sentence is a perfect example of parallel structure because either after and before AND it in both cases uses simple past tense verbs which are LEARNED AND TRAVELED. The other sentences never show parallelism due to their units are never the same. For example, in letter A , it uses a verb in simple present WALKS AND a progressive tense verb which is TAKING. So, to sum up, for a sentence to be considered parallel, it must be coherent in its structure and internal words. They need to have harmony and unity in tenses as well.
