1. What I saw in the closet left me speechless. = subject


Here, the noun clause is <em>What I saw in the closet. </em>This clause is used as the subject of the sentence. So, you can replace the entire clause with one simple word - <em>he. </em>For example: <em>He left me speechless. </em>This way you can easily determine that the first word (or rather the entire clause in the example above) is the subject.


2. When I was six, I learned how to swim. = direct object


The noun clause here is <em>How to swim. </em>Even though this may look like an adverbial clause, it is not because it has the function of a direct object (which only noun clauses can). You can easily determine that this is a direct object by asking the question - <em>what? </em>For example: <em>What did I learn when I was six? </em>And the answer is: <em>How to swim. </em>This way you know it is an object.


3. I was caught between what my conscience was telling me and what I wanted to do. = object of a preposition


Here, the noun clauses are <em>What my conscience was telling me and what I wanted to do. </em>They are objects, but not regular objects (like in sentence 2 above). Given that they are located after the preposition <em>between, </em>they are called object of a preposition.


4. The scary movie I watched is what kept me awake that night. = predicative nominative


Predicative nominative is a word, phrase, or an entire clause following a linking verb (such as to be, to seem, etc.). In the example above, the linking verb is <em>IS, </em>and the clause following it <em>What kept me awake that night </em>is the predicative nominative.

On pages 223 and 224, Carlotta mentions several historical events including the March on Washington, where Dr. King gave his “I
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Carlotta seems to be removed from the events. She describes her reaction to the March  on Washington like this: “I had no burning desire to participate in a march that seemed  to me then purely symbolic,” but then she felt how powerful it was when she saw the  thousands of people on television. However, when Carlotta heard about the 16th Street  Church bombing and President Kennedy’s assassination, she was horrified.  

It seems like her reaction to the March on Washington reflected her experience—a  march by itself didn’t seem to mean much after her time at Central High School where  she faced so much discrimination. Upon hearing the news of the 16th Street Church  bombing, however, she said, “I knew that the same fate so easily could have been  mine.” She identified with the victims in that case. Similarly, President Kennedy’s  assassination made her reflect on her experiences, saying “his life extinguished by the  same kind of hatred that had been so rampant in Little Rock. I wondered how—and  sometimes why—I survived.”

"Don't it s'prise you de way dem kings carries on, Huck?"
natulia [17]

Answer:

Jim and Huck are basing their opinion of all royalty on fake kings.

Explanation:

The use of satire highlights how various figurative elements such as irony, exaggeration are used to demean or expose the actions or misdeeds of people. In the excerpt above, Jim and Huck made ridiculing remarks of royalty by tagging the rapscallion(rascals). Jim and Huck feels thebroyalty lines are of the same breed and makes a generalization of tagging all royalty as fake kings.
