This is true. The line "Fainting I follow, I leave off therefore" contains both a caesura and alliteration that are each offset by the other--contributing to the power of both.

The correct answer is TRUE. The given sentence is an example of both ALLITERATION and CAESURA.

CAESURA is a figure of speech that introduces a pause in a line of a verse, it is used for metrical purposes, and it can be marked with the symbol // or may be not marked. For example, "to be or not to be, // that is the question" (William Shakespeare, "Hamlet").

ALLITERATION is also a figure of speech that consists of the repetition of a sound at the beginning of words.

In the example provided we have the repetition of the sound (f) in "fainting" and "follow".

Effective print advertisements must have

Tems11 [23]

The most likely answer to this problem would be A. correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

This is on the grounds, of course, that the names utilized in the print advertisements especially to the names of the product and company are all in the standard grammar and spelling. When this is not given enough attention, it would immediately give the target audience the idea of incompetency such to an extent that it would consider the product and/or the company worthless. Having many different fonts, colors, and graphics would only create inconsistency and would irritate the audience. Spilling all the beans would only result to the diminishing of the interests of the audience. References that appeal to teenagers would be situational since it is not at all times that the target audience would be teenagers or the like.

How do we punctuate a subordinating adverb phrase or clause that comes before the main clause?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

We put a comma after the subordinate clause.

Explanation:

When a subordinating adverb phrase or clause comes before the main clause of a sentence, the subordinate clause should be followed by a comma to separate the subordinate clause information with the independent's clause information. Here are some examples:

After the walk, we went to the shopping mall (Adverb phrase underlined).

In total silence, she waited (Adverb phrase underlined).

Before you leave, could you please shut the door? (Adverb clause underlined)

Since you do not care about the class, you may leave the room (Adverb clause underlined)

Notice that the difference between adverb phrases and clauses is that clauses always have a subject and a verb while phrases do not.
