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.

Answer:

A very

Beautiful day

Comes when I

Don’t spend

Every second worrying

Why were cowry shells used as currency in central asia and africa
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Several thousand years ago, Chinese people needed an efficient currency that could be used for trade in all parts of their huge empire. They chose cowry shells because they were hard to counterfeit, but most importantly the sources of cowry were far away from China, and they were not easily obtainable.

Review the image.
Anit [1.1K]

The image would best enhance a presentation to a group of sixth graders interested in good nutrition.

Explanation:

The image below shows the food pyramid you were given.

This kind of representation of food groups may be too complex for preschoolers. The best way to represent this topic to children that young is by simpler categorizations, drawings they could relate to more, and vocabulary that is as simple as possible. In preschool, some children are just beginning to read, and they are most likely not to understand the meaning of words such as <em>proteins.</em>

The case is the opposite with medical health professionals interested in nutrition. This kind of categorization is too simple for them.

This food pyramid would be of no use to the scientists comparing sources of protein, as there is no precise information regarding them. Milk and other dairy products are categorized as<em> proteins</em>, despite food such as poultry, fish, tofu, and nuts being a better source of protein. Besides, scientists need a lot more information than a food pyramid can provide.

That leaves us with the sixth-graders, who have just enough knowledge to find this pyramid useful. They already know what food belongs to which category, can read labels and understand them with no problem, and may learn something new about nutrition.
