Gems, flowers, and talents can be appreciated only when they are seen.

Thomas Gray in “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” in the above lines laments about the unsung heroes who got buried with the time. He uses the metaphor of ‘gem’ and ‘flower’ to express the idea of unfulfilled potential which was not recognized and so were lost. As the lives of the poor and country people are lost and are buried in the country churchyard, in the same way, we ignore the best and most beautiful part of nature’s beauty.

What are some important details of your observation​
LekaFEV [45]
Observation is a very important part of science. It lets us see the results of an experiment, even if they are not the results we expect. It lets us see unexpected things around us that might stimulate our curiosity, leading to new experiments. Even more important than observation is accurate observation. Often, our eyes and our brains play tricks on us, letting us see what we expect to see, instead of what is actually there.

Can i use a dash in a sentence like "going to a room - cant remember where this took place"
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Dashes are used to replace a parentheses or a colon. They can also be used to censor words and are often used to tell a range between numbers like 19-21.

In this case, you’re trying to use a dash to denote a connection which a dash can be used for but only when you’re connecting two words that are already have hyphens or are being used as a modifier.
