"The exhibit models, their accompanying text, and the overall layout of the Rose Center organized the principal contents of the

solar system by objects of like properties, rather than as enumerations of planets and their moons. This decision landed Pluto among the growing number of icy objects found beyond Neptune, and left it unmentioned and out of view among our models for the rocky, terrestrial objects ( Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) and the gas giants ( Jupiters, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). By this organization, we practically abandoned the concept of planet altogether." -Neil deGrasse Tyson, The pluto Files What is the main idea of this paragraph?

Read this paragraph: The exhibit models, their accompanying text, and the overall layout of the Rose Center organized the principal contents of the solar system by objects of like properties, rather than as enumerations of planets and their moons. This decision landed Pluto among the growing number of icy objects found beyond Neptune, and left it unmentioned and out of view among our models for the rocky, terrestrial objects (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) and the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). By this organization, we practically abandoned the concept of planet altogether. Neil deGrasse Tyson, The Pluto Files What is the main idea of this paragraph?

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Match the definition to the term. 1.meaning determined by or through syntax and morphology inflection 2.the aspect of grammar de
kifflom [539]

1. Meaning determined by or through syntax and morphology - Grammatical meaning

  • Through the reference to its function in a sentence and determining the meaning of a word by word order is known as grammatical meaning.

For example, - sat on Humpty Dumpty a wall. ( without grammatical meaning)

- Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. (with grammatical meaning)

2.The aspect of grammar dealing with word order and word relationships- Syntax

  • Syntax refers to the arrangement of a word in a proper sentence to create a sense.

For example

- The girl played joyously

- The girl joyously played

-Joyously, the girl played.

Each sentence is correct in its form grammatically.

3. The relationship of word parts to one another- Morphology

'Morph' means to form or shape and '-ology' means a study of something. Hence it refers to the study of the structures internally.

4.The smallest unit of semantic or grammatical meaning, including words, bases, affixes, and inflections - morpheme

  • It refers to the word or part of a word that derives a meaning. Also known as the root or base word which gives the principal meaning to a word.

For example

- the base word 'healthy', when affix '-un' occurs it becomes 'unhealthy'.

5. A word part used to indicate tense, mood, gender, case, and number - inflection.

For example

- verbs are inflected into tenses (ride- riding),

-nouns are inflected in the plural ( bus- buses),

-adjectives are inflected into superlative/comparative (happy- happier).

How does fitzgerald use gatsby's parties to present a satirical portrait of the roaring twenties?
tino4ka555 [31]
There is a lot of illegally shipped alcohol, which everyone gets's drunk and becomes rowdy. This was during the time prohibition was an illegal and organized crime involving "speakeasies" and such places that would smuggle alcohol. Many of guests were people who were usually dying to get in contact with Gatsby for maybe a job or some big break, they wanted to be rich and famous like him. It shows the "moral decay" and a huge amount of materialism that was running rampant in the 1920's when consumerism was on the rise. In the 1920's it was all fun and games until the huge economic depression of the 30's.
