Read the passage. His front wheel struck the edge of the shell, flipped the turtle like a tiddly-wink, spun it like a coin, and

rolled it off the highway. The truck went back to its course along the right side. Lying on its back, the turtle was tight in its shell for a long time. But at last its legs waved in the air, reaching for something to pull it over. In this excerpt from John Steinbeck’s “The Turtle,” what is significant about the turtle’s actions after it has been hit by the truck?
It is angry at the world for the incident.
It takes time to recover but never gives up.
It is easily scared away from its goal.
It is trying to figure out what it wants.

The answer should be B. It takes time to recover but never gets up. I believe that is the answer because of how the passage says, "the turtle was tight in it's shell for a log time. But at last it's legs waved in the air, reaching for something to pull it over." sorry about the long answer, i just wanted to show my reasoning behind my answer. Hope this helps :)

In the given excerpt from Robert Frost's 'Mending Wall', <u>the use of 'iambic pentameter'(five metrical feet') makes it fall in the category of blank verse and helps the poet to create the desired rhythm and mood to convey the intended message effectively</u> ('remove the barriers(walls) that prevent socialization or human interaction) to the audience<u>.</u> The poet feels that 'walls are not good for humans as it promotes isolation and segregation.

What examples does the author provide to show the ""subversiveness"" of the characters in Sendak’s book? (b) Distinguish How wou
suter [353]

The "subversiveness" of the characters can be presented with real-life examples that show how children behave and think. These characters were portrayed too unreal and innocent before the publication of "Where the Wild Things Are."

The question above does not show the article to which it refers, but it is possible to see that it refers to the works of writer Maurice Sendak. Accordingly, we can answer the questions with the following information:

  • Maurice Sendak wrote children's books that revolutionized the children's literature market.
  • Their books featured characters with realistic behaviors that can be found in any real-life children.
  • That's because Maurice Sendak wrote characters that children could identify with, not characters that showed what adults expected of children.

Although praised by critics, Maurice Sendak had his work considered controversial, because it showed subversive and rebellious characters, in some ways. That's because, before he released his most famous work, "Where the Wild Things Are," the characters in children's books were quite innocent, obedient, without much personality.

How to identify the phrases and clauses​
NemiM [27]

Explanation:

A phrase is a group of words that express a concept and is used as a unit within a sentence. Eight common types of phrases are: noun, verb, gerund, infinitive, appositive, participial, prepositional, and absolute

A clause is any noun phrase plus a verb; they can be sentences, but they don't always have to be.

Example: He is sleeping on the bed. The first part of the sentence “He is sleeping” is a clause because it has a subject and a verb. On the other hand, the remaining part of sentence, 'on the bed' is a phrase because it lacks both the subject and the verb.
