Before we answer this question, let’s make sure we understand the definition of each pair.


Quatrain - A stanza with four lines. It usually has a rhyme that is the same in the last letter of every line. Here’s an example of a quatrain from "Stopping by Woods On a Snowy Evening" By Robert Frost.


<em>"He gives his harness bells a shake</em>

<em> </em>

<em>To ask if there’s some mistake.</em>

<em> </em>

<em>The only other sound’s the sweep</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Of easy wind and downy flake."</em>


Couplet - A pair of two lines in a stanza with the same end rhyme. Here’s an example of a couplet from "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Suess.


<em>"I do not like green eggs and ham</em>

<em> </em>

<em>I do not like them </em><em>Sam</em><em> I am."</em>


Octave - A stanza with eight lines in it. Here’s an example of an octave from "What is life?" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.


<em>"Resembles Life what once was held of Light,</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Too ample in itself for human sight?</em>

<em> </em>

<em>An absolute Self, an element ungrounded</em>

<em> </em>

<em>All, that we see, all </em><em>colours</em><em> of all shade</em>

<em> </em>

<em>By encroach of darkness made?</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Is very life by consciousness unbounded?</em>

<em> </em>

<em>And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath,</em>

<em> </em>

<em>A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death?"</em>


Sestet - Usually the last six lines of a sonnet. Here’s an example of a sestet from "When I Have Fears that I May Cease to Be" by John Keats


<em>"And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!</em>

<em> </em>

<em>That I shall never look upon thee more,</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Never have relish in the faery power</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Of unreflecting love! — then on the shore</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Of the wide </em><em>world</em><em> I stand </em><em>alone,</em><em> and think</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink."</em>


Now that we all understand the definitions and have read a few examples, let’s match each tile to its pair.


The tile from <em>"Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe </em> should be paired with sestet.


The tile from <em>"In Memoriam" by Alfred Lord Tennyson </em> should be paired with quatrain.


The tile from <em>"Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost </em> should be paired with octave.


The tile from <em>"Hero and Leander" by Christopher </em><em>Marlowe</em>  should be paired with couplet.

Which identifies a sentence with a misplaced adjective phrase?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

A sentence with a misplaced adjective phrase is - The computer in the car's trunk needs repair.

Explanation:

Misplaced adjectives or modifiers are the words or phrases that are placed incorrectly. Because of such misplaced modifiers, the sentence sounds quite incorrect, and can also cause a confusion.

The sentence, ‘The computer in the car's trunk needs repair’ is a misplaced adjective. Here the writer should have made use of prepositional clause and the sentence should have been, ‘ The computer needs repair which is in the trunk of the car.’ It could also be, ‘The computer in the trunk of the car needs repair.’

In "Why, You Reckon?" what argument does the other man use to convince the narrator to team up with him? What lesson do you thin
frozen [14]
"The argument that the other man uses to convince the narrator is persuasive argument. What he learns depends on the outcome of the situation. If it's bad, then he'd learn to know both sides of the story before picking sides."
